Hi everyone, I'm basically looking for a socket set. Don't have one and what I'm looking to do means that will have to change.
Essentially I am just looking to do the odd bit of maintenance on my car which is a e46 330ci and i believe metric.
On the other hand I am also looking to strip down an old lawn mower, likely a Briggs and Stratton and I believe they are imperial.

Anyway basically just looking for a socket set for light use and which covers both imperial/metric.

Was looking at perhaps halfords advanced 120 piece socket set.
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/...

I know from working in halfords that they do not have the best of reputations but I don't actually know much about their socket sets (worked in bike dept) so would appreciate any advice ?

Alternatively, I saw this too.

I was under the impression Britool had a fairly good name but is this still the case ?

Would appreciate any advice and any other recommendations.

Thanks very much,

Jamie
