Bob The Builder Electronic Tool Bench
Amazon Price: ?38.24
Used Price: ?28.00
Customer Review: Great item.
First thing to note with this item is that although Amazon state it is from 2yrs, the box does infact state 3yrs. The only other down-side to this item is that there is no volume control, and by default the volume is quite loud. On the other hand i would still recommend this item to other people as our 2 year old hasn’t stopped playing with it since Christmas day. Assembly was straight forward, instructions were easy, took about 10 minutes to put together. This item would have got full marks if it wasn’t for the volume issue.
Customer Review: Bob
I got 1 of these benches for my little boy as a christmas present. I would love to say that its fantastic but the tools and build quality do let it down. The sounds are very good and my boy loves them…but they are just a bit too loud…unless you want to wake the dead! my son would probably rate it as 5* only I’ve seen better units out there now.

The Pink Toolbox
A real box of delights! The Pink Toolbox itself is a robust carrying case that has an integral handle and secure closing mechanism. Even though it’s small and compact, it’s packed with all the equipment shown below. If I had a hammer… This little beauty may be small but she packs a heavy punch: enough to drive nails into just about anything you’ll need to, without weighing so much you can barely lift it. All the screwdrivers you’ll ever need! 4 screwdrivers in one. You’ve got Phillips, Pozidrive, Broad flat, and Narrow flat, all in one easy to swap handle. The tips are magnetic, to help prevent screws dropping off and getting lost. Whilst not recommended for DIY dentistry, these special Pink Toolbox pliers will come in handy for many other things around the home. Their steel jaws are tough enough to tackle the most tenacious of stuck objects. No more will you be frustrated with those irritating little Allen bolts! They’re found on items from mountain bikes to Ikea furniture. This set of Allen keys will undo them with ease and tighten them back up again afterwards.For the other more regular kind of nuts and bolts, we’ve included this versatile adjustable wrench. It can tighten dripping taps, and loosen stuck and rusted bolts. Where are the scissors when you need them? In the Pink Toolbox of course! This pair will tackle anything from paper to cloth with ease. Sometimes even the Pink Toolbox scissors aren’t up to the job. Step up the disposable craft knife! Sharp as a razor, this tool will safely cut through anything from card to floor vinyl. Just mind your fingers! Your DIY skills may not leave you feeling very level headed, but at least you’ve now no excuse for anything else being wonky!Use this spirit level for checking whet

Customer Review: Don’t waste your money
I can’t believe that the previous reviewers were reading the same book as I was. This book is badly put together random paragraphs and looks rediculously outdated. It is littered with ‘humorous’ cartoons that I found stupid and patronising. It is laid out in magazine style but with less style and content. Under the section for ‘Installing a septic tank’ for example, it tells you what one is, in about 3 sentences, no more information can be seen on septic tanks. If you must by a book on building, you can spend your ?12 in a much better way (I recommend The Housebuilders Bible) The only thing that I can see anyone finding that this is a good book is if they have no previous building or DIY experience what so ever.
Customer Review: Best Step by Step Guide for Layman
Having built my own 2 storey extension for around ?10k, (2 rooms), I releid heavily on book and the internet. This book is the best one for explaining the steps and choices you make, in a step by step guide for the layman, necessary to ‘understand’ a project. Highly recommend this and the housebuilders bible, which gives detial and prices necessary to be able to actually ‘manage’ a project.
