What are you supposed to turn the sockets with?

The screw driver?

Looking again - the last bit in the screwdriver bit set is a funny looking thing that probably connects the screwdriver handle to the sockets... Not sure I'd get much apart if the torque must be applied with a screwdriver handle...

I have one of these under my seat, used it quite a bit. Its cheap but usable.
To use the sockets you join the screwdriver handle and the piece next to it together with an attachment in the bits holder. The largest socket is 11mm but you could change out the sockets for sizes you need.
The wallet is big enough to fit extra tools in. Atm i have an adjustable spanner, a spare sparkplug,zipties and tape in mine.

the 4.99 is more than enough to cover the cost of the tools and the P&P, as posted above amazon sell them for around £3 inc P&P

Not free but who is stupid enough to drive themselves into to bankruptcy. the website traffic they got out of this offer must be mammoth.

Still, I was on the bandwagon and went ahead and ordered a set Laughing

good spot Karma

Its rubbish, IMO.

Bought one from the services on the M4 when my bike went wrong, but got it fixed there, but given the choice I'd prefer to have properly working tools. The wire cutters are especially poor. A small bag of working tools could be had for about twice the price bought separately, and would work really well. Don't forget to take a torch and spare bulb, especially for the headlight if you have a single headlight system! You might have a torch on your phone, but you REALLY don't want to be using up the power on that when you are broken down.

Got mine in the post today.

I know I bought it knowing what was in it, but it is pretty rubbish tbh.
I can't get the screwdriver bits out, as the strap keeps getting stuck on them.
The wire cutters seem pretty flimsy and don't spring back properly.
I also don't like the way they put 2 electrical screwdrivers in it. Would have made more sense if they put a screwdriver in for the bit set.

I'll just replace most of the tools with my own.

Probably the best part of it, is the case. Laughing

But considering the price, you can't go wrong.
