Pound shop tools!!

[Dickie]

What's the best cheapo tool you have ever bought, something that was 1/3 of the price of top brand quality items?

I bought a pad saw for 99p 5/6 years ago from the local pound shop and it's still going strong for cutting out holes in plasterboard!

A brad point wood drill set, great for my diy.

I bought a rubber headed mallet which I think has proved to be the cheapest and most used tool. I also got a pack of large and small hacksaw blades that have been useful and I still have a few. A set of imperial and metric Allen keys were good too. I got a head strap light which was okay but the arm that held the strap to the lamp broke so it got junked. Oh and I got a heavy duty wall scraper with a set of blades and that has been good.

I always have a look at the tools and stuff as you cannot go wrong for a quid

My main hammer is a 99p Homebase Essentials hammer I bought about 15 years ago. Still going strong even after some abuse as a pry bar, and removing some nails. Removing big nails has killed a couple of lesser hammers, but this one just keeps on going.
