Drives around to have tool set refurbished (7)
I believe the answer is:
tootles
'drives around' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'tool set refurbished' is the wordplay.
'refurbished' indicates an anagram.
'tool'+'set'='toolset'
'toolset' anagrammed gives 'TOOTLES'.
'to have' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
