does anyone know of or have experince of tools by Toolzone? (of Devon). Are their tools any good, or are they junk? (I was thinking
of buying one of their torque wrenches). Thanks for any advice.

Try Firefox. It has a built in spelling check. Set the UK version
though (unless they have put the real English version on a UK mirror.
Anyone know?)

These are very nasty, cheaply made, and inferior tools that will not stand up to anything in the motoring world, period. They use inferior metal that bends on use, BEFORE you get to use the tool.
Something you would expect from over 200 years ago when they were beginning to invent and use mild steel, and even then, it would be better than these utter cheap crap, and dangerous tools, that come apart in use, or come apart, or bend in use, before you even get the job done. There screwdrivers round off screwheads, Sockets that round bolt heads, or impact sockets that round off in the impact wrench.
There pinch pliers for rubber CV boots are dangerous, as you will have the tool come apart or bend, long before you even get to pinch up the circlip.
I could go on, but you get the point.
Remember this saying: *I am not so rich, as to be able to afford cheap things*. (In other words, you are wasting money, and may still have to buy a genuine made tool to finish the job).
There tools are not fit for purpose, and to say for the hobbyist, is just a blatant lie, as the hobbyist still needs the tool to do the job correctly, just like a qualified person.
