Make sure you scan the receipt and email it to yourself. The ink on the receipt will fade after a few years......

PS. Many thanks to you Andrew as you are the one who told me about this kit...

How much is one at CostCo?
About 80 quid I think.

Yep I've got the Costco set as well & IIRC it was in the £60-80 range.
Mine's the slightly earlier version without the ratchet drive spanners though.
