    No doubt a lot of money for not very good tools.

    Buy individual ones and buy quality is my advice.

    As for sheds, build and make one yourself, you'll get a better, stronger and larger shed for less money.

    [edit]

    Those tools are the Citroens of the tool world, buy the tool equivalent of a VW !

    Agreed, the battery will last 5 minutes, then you'll be buying a new one for the same price as buying the whole kit.

    I know, I've bought many of those cordless drill/drivers over the years. Do as the pros do, use quality tools like Makita. We've got a Makita drill/driver excellent tool, great torque, and long battery life. Been using it for about 5 years now, still going strong.

    suprisingly, wickes own brand of pro power tools are very good. they are made by kresse. ive had a drill for a few years now and it has survived the abuse it gets very well, and came with a right angle adaptor, enabling me to drill holes in really silly places.

    Comes in its own neat little box. I bet that there is no way that you can get it to go back neatly into its box. A 1000 piece jigsaw would probably be easier.

    I'd second what Hex said.

    If anyone could see the tools I use daily, or what's in the back of the T5, then they'd see the Makita name everywhere!

    I used www.screwfix.com for a lot of Makita tools.

    good concept but it'd probably last 5 mins, if a decent brand did it then it would be very expensive, talkin 1500+ quid, its a gimmick and people will buy them, remember my dad buying 10 corded drills for 30 quid, i thought they would be toss, mate bought one of him, used it for drilling pilot holes into poured concrete walled house to fit metal strips for sound insulation and plaster board, not a single problem, think they were 'blackspur' brand, i sold the lot for him and everyone is happy but they'd eventually give up if used daily. you do get what you pay for, i got a b+d cordless drill/driver and battery life was massive, 14.4 volt i think? its ran out and i cant find charger though, damn it!!
