The Halfords tool sets are usually greatly enhanced if you buy a set of matching 1/2" drive Advance metric sockets, and perhaps whilst theyre still on offer at £10, a set of Advance screwdrivers.

Track day from my wife

And then my 6 week old boy 'bought' me a copy of Evo. What a day!

Im presuming that like mine (150pc bought a couple of years ago), most of the best sized sockets were 3/8th and that the 1/2" drive sockets were all well over 20mm?

Result then. My big set had an excellent 1/2" drive with no useful 1/2" sockets and all of the useful sizes in the 3/8th section. I bought a set of 1/2" metric for about £12 using my trade card, which made the set about 2x as useful.

The Gold Wing is identical to one I owned when I was 21. It's a stunning model.
