I could not travel without a proper tool kit!

Sure, but I was really impressed by the quality of the tooling and the carry box. Built for last...

My generous son, who spoils me, has bought me two smaller Wera tool kits (one each for bike and car) and I agree the quality is superb: and once the tool kit has got you out of trouble the cost (not that I paid in this case!) could seem insignificant.

There is a profound pleasure to be had from owning things of long lasting quality and design, which is presumably why some of us obviously cherish our Californias so much.

Well, I read the above comments and yesterday ordered this Wera set on Amazon. It came today. Disappointed. First I should have looked carefully at the pictures posted above. This set is explicitly marked as made for big hotel's maintenance crew to repair elevators/lifts and washing machines. Nothing about campers or cars. Moreover, the multitude of little screw drivers is actually designed for a watch repair service, I think. So I am returning it on Monday.

The Tool-Check Plus is a great small set. The small ratchet that the screwdriver bits attach directly has been used so many times in tight spaces. They are not cheap though, I picked mine up at a car show years ago, it was over £50 then.

Sorry for my part (if any) in that @Flower Power!

Sorry for my part too but I’m not supposed to fix the engine (and I hope not to need that :) ) …more for bike, furniture and small appliances on the go…

No no sorry needed, anyway the place in the van was already taken last week with the Brandrup "envelopes" and a fire extinguisher as in the following picture :) Ha ha, such a small thing and two true gentlemen are responding with "I'am sorry" even though absolutely no harm was done. I have been living in Germany for 15 years and no German ever said those words to me. Even though several times they were really needed.

Neat set up @Flower Power. We have never lived in Germany, but visited numerous times. In our, more limited, experience the Germans are rather matter of fact, and therefore less apologetic, but never rude. So I am sorry if you have had "several" bad experiences (humour intended).

Massive audio update today… all by Scope Automotive in Stoke-on-Trent…
  • Front Stage: Audison Voce II (AVK 6 S II) component speakers mounted with Q+ 3D custom adapters.
  • Amplification & Brain: Audison Forza AF C8.14 bit 14-channel DSP amplifier.
  • Low End: Audison Prima APBX 8 R passive subwoofer enclosure.
  • Acoustics: Front doors treated with Skinz Pro Black deadening and WaveLiner 15mm absorption.
  • Extras: Front and rear dash cam installation, plus a "no-cut" ISO harness integration - FineVu GX400.
The sound right out of the box is brilliant, clean, and cuts through road noise effortlessly without rattling the door cards. They’ve asked me to bring it back after putting about 40 hours on the speakers so they can do a final alignment and fine-tune the DSP to my exact listening preferences. A fine-tune has already been completed by Four Masters Car Audio, and I need to arrange my next visit for them to attend again, once the speakers have bedded in.

The sub and amplifier all fit in the drivers seat (just!) and new seat rear panels have been created as the plastic coverings needed removing to create space. All can literally be returned to factory spec if I want to remove.
