Anybody know what the quality of the brand is like?

If you read the reviews most seem to like them. I have no cause to criticise then, but then I'm a DIYer.
The same 1400 screws are being sold in boxes for the same price without the trade case.


I think mine are actually the TURBOGOLD!

they are absolutely fine
the only problem is the shank is a bit smaller than the normal silver [imperial ]screws
so on 70mm plus you will get the odd head shear off so a pilot hole will help
the turbo gold are better as they have a flute and ridges meaning it cuts its own pilot hole and will self coutersink

I bought this set a few years ago.

Still going strong, it's much better than scrabbling around for an odd screw, or re-using an old one.
I've only sheared off about 3 heads, and only re-filled the 4x50mm screws

The case is solid, but can be accidently openned, always check before you pick it up that you've closed the lid and catches.

Otherwise you'll be sorting out screws by size for a good few hours :)
(I've done it twice now)

For the price, it's definately worth it, if I didn't already have one i'd get it.
You could always re-fill with turbogold as you use them if you find these are not quite good enough.
