Ah ok  :smiley:

As you say will last, you need them for your job too eh?

And you use them every day so really need the best you can get?

I would love to have that collection so when you do a job you know you will have all the tools.

That's why I'm so glad I bought a proper set.  I used to have to scrape around trying to find the right bit, or an inventive alternative.  However now I know I have everything I need in one set  :smiley:

Use them all and they should last quite some time. I bought cheap when I was doing my apprenticeship and most of them have broke so they have been replaced with quality
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

I have had the halfords socket set for about five years now, use it quite often and never let me down at all.. One of the few halfords things that hasn't. Good for home mechanics :)

I have the same kit Rich but in older packaging. Only thing it could do with is a new case as the clips have gone but your one has the better metal versions. I've done all the work on the Golf and my ERST with it :afro:
