Been thinking about getting one for ages and picked one up the other day. Already used it loads from everything from bike fettling, to dismantling a cot, to servicing my Gaggia. Brilliant little thing for fiddly jobs. Well worth 20 odd quid.

Totally agree, as handy for flat-pack furniture as it is for bikes. Easy to get new/different sized bits too.

I've used mine for more things non-bike than on it. I carry one at work too. Useful for odd little repairs without having to go and fetch the big roller tool box.

No but that looks like a halfords special compared to the rocket.

Still surprised at how handy this is for all sorts of jobs!

The RR looks quite a bit more compact than the halfords job. The case the RR comes with is very well thought out. Also the RR has a surprisingly useful hole for a bit at the handle end too so you can turn it around and just use it as a screwdriver.
