David Williams: Bags of room for all life’s necessities

Cordura's Mystery Ranch FLIP rucksack

You’ve made it to the Isle of Arran in your swish Range Rover, now you need an equally swish bag for your sarnies, camera and binoculars, for a bracing walk.

Fortunately, you have your new US-built “Mystery Ranch FLIP” rucksack to hand, made of Cordura, beloved by motorcycle clothing brands for

its tough, abrasion-resistant, long-lasting qualities.

This £161 rucksack has a well- padded laptop pouch, equally well-padded shoulder straps and a neat lid accessory pouch for keeping small items close to hand.

It doesn’t matter how many tools you have, a task will always crop up for which you’re unprepared unless, perhaps, you have Laser’s new “Survivor Socket” (part number 6693).

This normal-looking socket is in fact crammed with 43 steel spring pins that cleverly adapt to fasteners of any shape, as long as they’re 9-21mm and or 11/32” — 13/16”. It also has a quick-chuck shaft enabling connection with a cordless drill... and all for £20.11.
