+1 on the halfords pro stuff..
my first ever socket set was a kit from argos called challenge or something.. it was total sh!t and broke when it looked at a nut.
i then invested in some halfords pro stuff which i loved. that kit got stolen along with other valuables when my garage got done over.
so, it had to be another halfords kit to replace and i swear by them...

Majority of mine are cheapy Draper Expert stuff, but I get it all free from work and get free replacements if they break!  :cool:
Have a few halfords pro bits and pieces, and a few Snap On ring spanners but thats about it really.

My favourite tool is my Fluke Multimeter. Not cheap though!

my best tool is my snap on impact gun 18v jobbie, cost an arm and a leg but well worth it, had it a few years so the batterys dont last as long they used to.

i have mainly snap on, although i live next to a tool place that sell draper expert so got a few bits of that, only halfords tool i have is the 3/8 torque wrench, very useful

A few shots of my box.









 

Pretty much the same as LowlifeDubber. Various snap on,  mac tools, facom, britool, teng tools, stahlwillie.

For my engine conversion looking at my mix up of tools few sockets etc 10mm and 13mm the mains ones missing! I decided invested in the 150pc halfords pro kit, seems like pretty good quality!

seems good to me, cant say ive ever used it though, however i have used a few things out of it and they seem to be fine, also its got a life time guarentee so if anything breaks just take it back with the recipt and they should sort you out FOC

I think I saw the 150piece for £100 the other day. Get a trade card/borrow one and you'll get em for even cheaper. Cannot recommend enough. Very worth while purchase.

The warranty doesn't cover ratchets though, although of depends on how fussy they are being whether they trade them over
