As long as the tools aren't poor quality, nothing worse than butter like metal.

Surprised no-one's mentioning the £10 bike light set yet. Is it K-marked and thereby sufficient to meet legal requirements? I may find out later...

Also, I'd expect the levers to be easily-snapped unreinforced plastic, similar to the recent Aldi bikemate ones. If I go there, I'll see if I can tell.

I got one yesterday, not fussed about the tools, it was the bag I was after as I have put my old one somewhere safe.

Well the lights ARE K-marked so that's good. Have to be charged for ten hours at first which is less good. The rear light is battery powered so it's ready to use and seems to put out light with a fairly good spread.
I found the Sainsbury's one split at the back on first use so I returned it.

I have a previous version.
The gauge does appear to give variable readings.
On t'other hand, the pump has a large air chamber so you can get lots of Barney Bear into the tyre quickly.

Complies with German (StVZO) lighting requirements - and with the UK ones too, thanks to a 1990s change to our regulations
It's basically the cheapest way to buy a good light which is also legally sufficient.

I bought a previous version a few years ago: didn't last long and was never confident with the gauge (poor correlation with the twin cylinder footpump I had, but neither calibrated). Had a look at the 'floor pumps' (as you call them) today in the store: pretty weak. Better off with a 'second from cheapest' Halfrauds one when they discount those.
