Hi all
I am an amateur DIYer and I thought it was high time I bought a really decent toolkit rather than managing with the random disorganised jumble of mainly pretty cheap tools that I currently just about manage with.
I was prepared to spend a few hundred on something really good - something to be proud of that would last a long time and that you can really rely on, but my Dad found this apparent bargain...

Could I get your opinion on whether the tools are likely to be of a high quality and will last a good few years without wearing, rounding, slipping, etc?
I would also welcome any other recommendations. I realise that you get what you pay for and would be very interested to hear what you consider to be the best toolkits on the market. Here are some deals I have been looking at on eBay. Please let me know what you think. Presumably these would be a lot better than the Screwfix set given the price. I would rather spend more on a really good set that will last.

This seems exceptionally good with the free tools: -

Many thanks for reading my post and for any advice you can offer.
Kind regards
