I like my Halfrauds tools. Ive got a few proffessional / advanced socket sets. You get them a bit cheaper with a trade card. I think I paid £85 for my latest 120pc set which was on offer at £100 at the time. My only problem is that Im a self confessed messy beggar and they end up all over the place. I also usually end up with sheared bleed nipples and bolts stuck in my 8,9 and 10mm sockets.
The beauty for me is that I can go in and buy individual sockets as required if I need them.
Lifetime gaurantee is good too. I sheared the bit holder on breaker bar years ago and they replaced it with a longer one no questions asked. I never did mention the fact that I snapped it whilst trying to undo a Mondeo hub nut using a 6ft scaffolding pole for extra leverage though.

ideal in tight locations

only problem i found was I didn't have the right size for the caliper bleed nipples

I haven't got a job at the minute that needs them....I've just wanted a set for ages, but was never going to be paying £80 for them.

I can supply a lot of tools from work, usually at quite a discount! Torque Wrench retails at £27.70 +vat, I can sell them for roughly £20 +vat, impact socket set (35pce) retail £35+vat, sell at roughly £23 +vat.

not trying to spam sell the thread, but if anyone wants a price for any tool at all let me know.
