... thing. It cost £4 (I think it's since increased to £4.99, still great value) and is advertised as a 15 piece tool set. Well, I suppose it is, but there are four tools proper and the rest are interchangable screwdriver heads. Still really useful, though.
A note on the case - it's slightly flimsy whilst also being a bit stiff so it's easy to crack, 6 years on ours is hardly as new, but it's lasted, and it's good to have a little set you can stick in the car for DIY jobs at other people's houses and so you have the basics...more

I've long said that IKEA can sometimes be a bit of a false economy, buy it cheap buy it twice sort of thing. I tend to buy smaller items from there - clocks, maybe a lamp, boxes, soft furnishings and my yukka plant that's been going a good 6 years now (despite unintentional best efforts to kill it off!). I have to say though - this IKEA tools set has exceeded all my expectations, we bought it about 6 years ago (yes!) when we purchased some flat pack wardrobes and doors when we lived in a flat. Now we've bought a house and the FIXA set has moved with us and has proven indispensible! We originally picked it up as a bit of an afterthought 'oh well, ... Read the complete review

Even though we live with my husband in rented home where everything necessary is done for us (and what's not is forbidden) and are both totally non-DYI people, we got this toolkit from Ikea as it was really good value and you never know when you will need a screwdriver... It comes in orange case with transparent side and a clip to the side of the case. It's flat and quite sturdy (at least for the price), so easy to store, I'm not worried it will get broken if I stack something on it. What you can find inside? 15-piece toolkit consists of hammer, screwdriver, pair of pliers and spanner. The rest are different bits for screwdriver (normally ... Read the complete review

We have a proper tool-kit, of course. It's one of those double fold-out enamel-painted metal ones with interior trays and an over-top carrying handle, like you see that real workmen often have in the back of their vans. This pristine toolbox, and all the pristine tools in it is of course buried under approximately a metric tonne of junk in the cupboard under the stairs and I haven't seen it since we moved here in 2007. What we do when we want to use a hammer or screwdriver in practice is to go to the Ikea 'Fixa' 15 piece tool set that we bought about five years ago for £4. This small and compact tool set is conveniently stored on top of pile of ... Read the complete review

Ikea FIXA 15 piece tool set == How I came by it == Well I was on a visit to my local Ikea and ended up purchasing a few things for the baby's room and on the way to pay the husband noticed this little set of tools and the fact it was very cheap and the box it came in was also very sturdy. So rather than having tools randomly floating around the house we would have them in a neat little box. So I picked it up and popped it in the big yellow bag as a litle present for him- afterall he'd only get jealous of the baby getting things bought!!! == What exactly is a FIXA set? == Well sit your self's down people ...
