knipex make great pliers most of my circlip pliers are knipex.picked one of these on ebay great job for clamping steel plates together for drilling in the drill press.http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Facom-230mm-...686436?hash=item5d6adadb64:g:DT4AAOSwXyVYJ5J5 the postage puts me over the €50 limit does that count.Thought this might be an interesting thread. I've found knipex cobra water pump pliers a great tool for all sorts of jobs. Most water pump pliers are rubbish but these work really well, for about €20.
You forgot the most important
fifty?
twenty quid will go a long way

Have one of those maybe 2 years now, quit a while back & would only work while on the charger. Took it apart & one of the plugs had jumped off so was an easy fix, good magnets on them too.http://www.drapertools.com/product/80964/Inspection-Lamp-with-Rechargeable-4W-COB-LED-and-UV-LED Despite the price shown here I got one of these for €45, probably the most used individual piece of equipment I have, magnetic base coupled with the swivel joint is better than an extra pair of hands.
I wouldn't mind getting my hands on the spanner set, a few quality ones 25mm upwards would set you back a fair few quid, you lads seem to get stuff in Lidl that doesn't appear in their stores down here.Been getting a lot of bits from Lidl this past while.....
1: set of spanners £30, maybe not that cheap but cover a good range of sizes & saves better ones.
2: chisels & punch set maybe £10 each, chisels got plenty of abuse rebuilding mower bed.
3: Drill £20~£30 I think, not top quality but ok for round the yard.
4: soldering iron set, saved the price of it putting new button on Merlo joystick.
5: tap set £10 I think, has 2 taps & drill for each size.
6: tap & die set £15~£20, unopened as yet.
7: my favourite....oh rang me from lidl store, had a back room opened up & full of stuff they couldn't shift, got a good few items cheap extension leads ect & 2 of these at a tenner each, only risked 2 as was over the phone & unseen but wish I'd got more, even have spare blades for the hacksaw....they live in the tractors.

Got one maybe 6 years ago and buy one anytime I see them as they are shocking handy but lads at straw here are inclined to break them by not minding them ,so I keep them hidden and make them suffer for a while so they appreciate themhttp://www.theratchetshop.com/ratchet-straps/easy-winder/easy-winder.html got one of these a few years ago and would be lost without it amazing the amount of time lost drawing bales when you have 6 or 8 straps to roll up.
