Ah, y'see this could have been a fantastic thread if you'd asked people about their tools rather than their new, empty, cantilevered boxesI do have one set I got in a pound-shop. Also two hammers, one which is a novelty one and quite small that has a bottle-opener where the claws normally go. I keep my gardening tools in the shed tho. (Most of them belong to my father in law
)

Ah yes, spanners. I need some of those too. Dunno what for yet, but they will come in handy.

No, the drill didn't come with any - I got them separately (well, on the same trip to Homebase, but YKWIM).
It'll have to wait until I get home. Doubting Thomasina.

Too skool for cool
Forgot to mention the multi head screwdriver comes with all the smaller sockets, so I have most sizes of bolt covered in one way or another.

When I was married, we had something like that. On separation I asked for a few tools and he put SIX on a windowsill

No women, eh? I see......
It is a fact that all my variously employed tradespeople are men, yes.

Lost in the wood
I find it's way too big to leave around the house so I've decanted a few select screwdrivers, a hammer and a selection of nuts, bolts, nails and screws which live in a plastic back in the cupboard under the stairs. (Nuts, bolts and screws are in an old Ogden's Walnut Plug tobacco tin)

How many are we talking about? Do you have them on a retainer?

So many particulars. So many questions.

One, yes -- the gardener. But we always use the same electrician, plumber, handyman, painter, chippy, boiler servicer, Aga servicer and chimney sweep, and they are all men.How many are we talking about? Do you have them on a retainer?

I have a plastic box like Crispy and seeformiles, but it doesn't hold everything. I'm thinking about buying another one so that I can sort into 'most common tools used when going round to other people's houses to fix things' and 'everything else'.
Thanks to this thread, I now want a red metal cantilevered one.

You should have just taken half of them. The mistake was asking him
