    Quite true! I bought a set of ratchetable ring spanners with pivoting heads and months later found that they were the only spanner I could use to tighten up the bolts on my toilet seat. The bolts were virtually unreachable being located in recesses behind the bowl

    Got a set of those too.

    I keep tools for just about every job I can think of. I have a pretty comprehensive workshop. Doesn't get enough use really.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    i noticed this thread a few days ago. Slightly tempted, but then I tried to get the plastic case off a MacBook in a hurry. Gave up! Now ordered a couple of these spudgers - though usual hassle of having to remember passwords and reset credit cards and codes etc. since I don't use ebay too often nowadays.

    I hope they turn out to be useful - on occasions.

    Possibly the greatest thing I ever bought on eBay was a set of these, though I am pretty sure they used to be just £1 delivered.

    wee felt pads

    I have some on the rubber feet of my my CDP, my amp, my Okki Nokki, and I even have the smallest ones (which are about 7mm across) on my CDP remote which was just heavy bare metal.

    I've got a couple of spudgers from when I was taking MBPs apart as well, but nothing approaching the sophistication of the set recommended in the OP, which look like they could also be very useful for eating a chip supper.
