I got a set of 50 out of Homebase in sizes 1-2.5 mm for ?9.99 along with a cheap mitre block as well, can't remember what it cost though. My knife set came out of a QD store for under ?3

Homebase do a whole presicison range of tools like blades, pliers, screwdrivers e.t.c. quite resonably priced too.

This is the set you want to look for Ben, it was near all their own brand power tools in my local store, only about 3 inches across so may take some finding
