So I was perusing ebay for a tool trolly for work as i dont have one currently and came across this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142306618522?_...T#shpCntId
Ive bought one to take on track days in the back on the car as clean tools. I know ebay tools and all that. But £13 worth a punt usually £80 if you buy them from other buyers. Hope its a helpfull link to someone
On a break from 306oc for personal reasons. If anyone needs or wants me most of you have my number and or facebook messenger
Thanks for the good times guys n gals. I might be back. Who knows.

That seems crazy cheap. I bought one a few year back and was a like £100 quid, though it had ratchet spanners. Think i may get one of these though as can't go wrong for the money. Good find Bash!
The other set they got seems decent price as well http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/216PC-TORX-RAT...Swax5YzXFT
Seems too cheap to be true

How is that only 12.95 haha. Ordered a set for Australia.
Surely there is a cock up in pricing there?

Even if it is all rubbish you have a cheap set of screwdrivers for prying things and hitting with hammers and a box to store things in haha.
This post is an artistic work of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted above as fact.

or it's some kind of scam. Similar tool sets are on eBay, but they're nearly 60 quid.
Given the price and the sellers very low feedback I think something is amiss.
Having said that I've bought one anyway, Paypal will cover me if anything go's wrong.
