And yes the 1/2 inch red handles are mint because I think they are rubbish & replaced with the also mint Draper & US Pro ones in the cheap socket sets for my work vehicle & a spare one for home, that was purchase day, they aren't as mint now.


Favourite one? The Stanley Workmaster one, I bought it 36 yrs ago & it still gets used.

Most expensive? The Hazet 3/8s I'm not exactly sure how I acquired it actually, I didn't buy it, but they are expensive things, more than Snap-on usually.

Most useful? The 1/2 & 3/8 flexi head ones, such a great invention!

Most useless? Prob the 1/4 extendable, tbh I've never really needed it! Just fancied it to balance out the 3 matching hammer I'd just got it replacing my old worn hotch potch set, & to balance my Feng shui wink







Old hotch potch hammer selection still in place tho do not fear.

Looks like you have enough to have one for every size socket you use.

I'm not really a fan of the flexi head type - especially on nuts which are in a less than perfect condition.
The extra movement makes location less secure.
Koken do some excellent rachets & you surely need 2 or 3 more for Christmas!

My mate said ah yes all good but do you have a 10mm socket to fit them all, ha well it would require me to open up a bunch of different socket sets in different locations, but I think I couid just about manage it.
