Snap-on . Mac .halfords pro . Sealey anything with a warranty ,
Only thing I refuse to spend money on is a £2500 box , so my £359.99 Costco box does the job 10x better !

CK tools deserve a big up

snapped a ball end allen key removing a 1.8T sump (the ball bit broke off in the bolt luckily it had cracked the bolt at the same time.
Anyhow,  back of the packet it came in said warranty against workmanship.. even tho the tool in question had taken some serious abuse and at the time of breakage i had a bar hanging off it. a quick email and they sent me a FREE replacement out within a couple of days

Your only meant to use the ball end once the bolt is loose.

I think you need to in this instance though due to the depth and angle.

I use 1/4" Allen sockets on a elbow and extension then T bar

Same as mate, not sure if the access is slightly more restricted on the 1.8T sumps in comparison to an ABF sump for example?

Yeah more than likely a complete ball ache

Mainly snap on stuff. But things like hammer/chissels etc just cheapy stuff. Need decent tools for my work though.
