I think its worth the drive...Alot of data tools on the market, are not that good, especially when making off cat 5/6....how many times does the tester show up bad crimping...?...£350 worth of tools a bonus, if the new tool is good, would like that aswell...

Well I am going to crawl here and stick my neck out at the same time and say I bet the tools are worth having.

I would go if I could.

I bought a Screwfix half inch socket about fifteen years ago and it is still going strong. The deep sockets are excellent.

Get bol..... for going off topic - but the best hacksaw I ever had was an Eclipse I had from the sixties , eventually it got nicked.

Eclipse hacksaws are still pretty good imo the basic junior (cream coloured powder coated) they do is the best on the market I've tried lots and its the only make thats lasted me! @£2.00 same shape as the cheapest simple wire ones but is definitely much better then others

Glad to hear that some of the old companies have kept their quality .

Some of their other tools aren't that good , I think Spear and Jackson owns them now, although they do have some cheap adjustable spanners, good enough for apprentices etc
I have a few eclipse tools from when I worked in engineering and were built to last !

My Dad was an Engineer on heavy earthmoving plant , I inherited a lot of his tools, the quality was magnificent then.

Is there any chance we could get £350 worth of knipex instead ;-)
