Don't go near Trump with that set up , or they will jail you for life for having a possible snipers weapon .I decided to treat myself to a camera and lens for my 60th next week
The camera body is second hand but the lens is new.

I was thinking I've never seen those in the local Middle of Lidl.
(Lidl make Tesco look like a chain of corner shops)

I got the Wera 8100 kit a good while ago to carry whilst on the motorbike but since given up biking it had been sat in the tool box. Recently been spending a lot of time sorting things out in the kitchen and sending the wife into the garage to get tools as I remain in a position a contortionist would be proud of and she had come back with this kit. I'd forgotten how useful it was and best of all the wife said the Wera tools looked really useful as she watched me convert the ratchet into a screwdriver, suggesting I should buy more! Obviously she has no idea how much they cost.

Small update, been using this for topping hedges etcc and its not bad, also quite good for snedding on the ground. Yesterday I dropped some larger branches with the 020T and thought I should do a little comparison of the little ones.
Makita is quicker cutting due to the different chain, but the chain needs frequent adjustment. On smaller stuff the Makita is jumpy, chain speeds a bit low.

Ive got a few bits of Wera stuff for home and like you have always found them really useful. My issue is remembering I have them. I have such an extensive tool chest the little sets get lost in the bottom drawers until I have a clear out and remember I have it.
And for reference I went out and got some digital scales to see what the difference is. 250grams with the Wera kit complete and 350g once ive removed the duplicates or tools I wont need.
Next on my list is a lightweight adjustable spanner. Current 10'' one from Facom is a portly 600g so I've had a Virax one ordered for me from RS ( https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/wrenches/2381538?gb=s ) which is allegedly only 210g.
I googled titanium tools but I dont think I can get my employer to authorise a £1500 titanium plier set!!
This is all because my grade was told we weren't supposed to be using the ones we all were using and have given us Velocity Rogue 50 tool bags. Which, dont get me wrong are amazing but my god are they heavy! 6.5kg empty!!
