Hmm. Got a large selection of 10mm sockets you don't recall buying?

You could hand them out to the needy at @Cato meeting.

And, as I said before, one of these -

I've been promised one this Christmas.

thats a shout...the mrs has been banging on since august asking what i want...but then tells me to be realistic when i ask for a plasma cutter

 

[Maker]

I want one of these, I don't think I can bring myself to spend sixty euros on a Stanley knife though.

I've got a similar one. Got it from B&M, if I recall correctly. Think it's a Stanley.

My favourite though is the Bosch folding knife.

Looking at that price though, they've more than doubled in price since I bought mine.

I like the fixed blade carpet fitters type.

1-10-550 with the yellow sheath

@Maker you just put a link up and i went to grab it and gone..did you delete the post

 

[Maker]

Yeah I deleted it, I realised it was a retractable one in a similar style body. Looks like they don't do the fixed blade one any more.

Stanley 199 for me. I don't like anything quick release, retractable, or folding. They always go wrong in some way, either ruining what you are cutting, or causing injury .

Nice knurled grip too, so it does not slip out of ones hands, even if oily. Cheap too.

I'd rather pay the sixty euros than have a nasty plastic copy.

Take a look at

I was given the Toughbuilt scraper knife for Christmas and never used it until recently and it’s brilliant, just a shame about the propriety blade but having said that they’re not expensive and last a long time

I have the one linked below, tried a few different ones of similar style but none have come close
The bits fit in the end of the sturdy aluminium handle which turns it into a screwdriver or Allen/torx driver.
