I used it :)
Just wondering what is the "recommended" set? Or best value set of those listed before I fork out cash for the best one and don't use the half of it. :blush:
I picked up the 18 piece on Sat for €24.99, even though the lad the shop communicated with me in grunts its great value.

The only issue I find with them compared to other more expensive options is the sockets over time don't fit as securely to the ratchet as they should. Doesn't cause any issues. Great value to be had here.
I bought the 90 piece one that or the 120 piece will be more then enough I have a seperate breaker bar amd I bought a 7mm allen key socket for the brakes and thats my set
@venom if your sockets have worn bring them back and you will get replacements
Have a 120 piece over 10 years now, still no issues and I'd say I've used 90% of the kit from maintaining mtb's and working on the cars (and one lawnmower)
Got this one myself few weeks back http://www.halfords.ie/webapp/wcs/st...egoryId_212410
My girlfriend bought me the 170 piece kit for my birthday last year when the half price sale was on (the benefit of dropping hints ;))
So far the quality has been as good as any Snap-on or Teng tool, from my experience, with the only thing breaking being the philips head socket that snapped; my own fault as screw had rusted itself solid but they replaced the socket anyway.
That's the main advantage really, if you only ever have a day or two to do a job on the car but end up breaking something the likelihood is that there will be a halfords nearby where it can be replaced. Snap-on, Teng etc. could be days or weeks.
have 3 of the halfords sets as they're so handy to have.
last one i bought was the 170 piece set in the north half price at £125 then reduced more with the trade card which was even better!
couldn't recommend them enough
Has anybody used the vortex system sockets?
They're supposed to be a lot lower profile than standard ratchets, due to be hollow with the socket sliding into them, but are they worth it?
I haven't come across anything yet so far on the E36 that has been too difficult to get at, but after tearing the hands off myself on a diesel accord at the weekend a low profile ratchet might be worth considering.
Id better send my lad round to show you how to use them so....lol:P:P:PQuote:
