ebay has teng tools not badly priced and come with warranty
All I'll say is never buy cheap tools, buy cheap buy twice adage holds true. However cheap tools can break easy & you can hurt yourself.
I use a mix of EBay/Online reputable sellers only, not necessarily the cheapest, local tool shops, motor factors & DIY stores.

My stuff is a mix of Snap-On/BluePoint, Teng and others. I have a number for a tool-man that does reasonably priced tools if anybody is in need
McQuillian tools in blanchardstown. I know the manager so gives me great discount.
I've mainly Draper stuff.
If you want good beating tools for small money like spanners, ratchet spanners and ratchet extensions then Tool Mate work pretty well and offer a wide selection. If your looking for robust tools that have moving parts like 1/4" 3/8" and 1/2" ratchets then spend decent money as they will last you a life time. The high end brands offer life time warranty etc.Quote:

Ferax are available through good Motor Factors.
Hope this helps,
My old man has some snap on socket sets going back to the 70's which are still in perfect nick! Facom are pretty decent too. We have another socket set (must dig out the name) but i remember cracking a socket trying to loosen a wheel bolt..replaced it with a draper socket but quality wasnt as good
I know you have the work done Peter but for anyone else looking there's a substantial set in Lidl since yesterday:

I don't have any first hand experience but hopefully someone who does will chime in
Anyone know what the handheld Lidl steam cleaners are like? (Only want something for seats mainly as my Golf Recaros badly need cleaning!)
Takes 250ml of water and costs €24.99.
I'd probably go with a cheap wet vac instead. A steam cleaner will just result in you having wet seatsQuote:
