It sounds familiar for such a strange name, going to bookmark it though thanks, I'm not sure about multi tools, if I had the money I'd have a Leatherman, My little Coleman thing has gotten me out of a few scrapes I suppose, but it leaves me aware that I get what I pay for. :)

Yea there is a Clas Ohlson shop here in Newcastle and i could spend hours in there. Very good quality shop and useful for the odd bits that most places wouldnt think of stocking.

Ah and there was I thinking it was Scandinavian now it looks more like a local description for "very good"

I have used them for Meths cookers, camping cups and bowls.

Never used the online shop though.
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

There's a Clas Ohlson in Norwich; packed full of useful things. To me it's like entering an Aladdin's Cave.

Thought I'd add to this thread as I've bought a few things from them, all turned out to be good kit.

They have a wind up radio/torch reduced at the moment, it can charge phones by micro USB too;
