Great Price SocketSet if anyone is in market for 1.

[ou sont les biscuits]

I bought one of these at the £65 offer price, and it turned up this morning. It looks like the quality is decent - the walls on the sockets look like they'll take a fair old bit of torque. All in all, I'd have thought it a reasonable buy even at the £90 price now being quoted. The only naff thing in the kit are the loose allen keys, but I suspect most of us have loads of these anyway. I have a shoebox full of the things that have been collected over the years!

Mine was delivered to the office on Friday so I've just got my hands on it and would agree with this.

I was given a poor quality kit previously which I spent money adding tools to and I'm sure the combined cost would have been double what this far superior kit is.

Thanks again OP.

Nice that it includes Torx sockets (female) too... not very common to nee one but if you need one you need one.

I just bought the powerfix 216 piece set from Lidl. I was originally after a Halfords set but this Powerfix stuff looks and feels good. Anybody got any experience of powerfix? Not used the set yet.

I've got a Halfords 150pc set from a few years ago and it seems reasonable quality to me, though the lack of clicks on the ratchet is noticeable and a bit of a pain sometimes.

Unfortunately, I now keep the whole lot in my tool chest and it rolls all over the place. You can buy a tray for the new kits but the new kits are a bit different from my slightly older one.

Can anyone recommend a good quality set like this KS Tools one that comes with or for which you can buy a tray to keep it all organised in the tool chest drawers please?

I cut my Halford box in two and now use the bottom half as a tray in my tool chest.

Now there's a thought!

Unlike the Halfords stuff, it's all six point sockets, which, in my book, is a plus.

Until you have a 12 point bolt/nut you need to remove.
