Today I bought this 150 piece toolkit from Halfords, which contains almost everything I'm likely to need for my mechanical meddling. The tools have some nice touches, including eject buttons even on the extension bar. I'd prefer if the allen keys were longer and had ball-ends, but they're essentially a bonus in this toolkit.

The new Audi S5 Sportback is amongst the most pointless vehicles unveiled at Frankfurt's autoshow this year.
