Famex Tools

[thecrocodilefarm]

Hi everyone

I'm looking for a good quality socket set to carry in the boot. Currently I have a Halfords Professional box, bought a few years ago, and there's nothing wrong with it - it went through repairing pretty much everything in my old Discovery 2, hubs, axles, shafts, suspension - the lot. I found this Famex set
http://www.amazon.co.uk/FAMEX-526-SD-21-173-Piece-...
which on paper has everything my old box has, but it's considerably smaller in size, and this is what I'm after. Quick search in Google returned nothing of value - some Amazon reviews, claims of it to be of German origin, but nothing to tell me if it's any good.

So, here's the question: has anyone used Famex tools? Are they at least on the same level as Halfords Pro? Yes, I know I should've gone for Snap-on...

Never heard of Famex..

Quite alof of my tools are Teng Tools.. reasonably good quality and excellent price in my opinion..

Halfords have 50% off all of their socket sets at the moment, their professional range is very good.

I reckon the OP might know that...
