Great Price SocketSet if anyone is in market for 1.

Had setup a price alert on 3 camels some months ago and seems like it has dropped massively in price today.

65pounds for a Proper German KSTools stuff,used to be around 100 when I last looked few months ago.
Halfords stuff although decent for DIY doesn't really comes close to these in quality.

Also ordered one - on the basis it looks nice - but what makes it better than the Halfords Professional / Advanced stuff?

72 clicks on the ratchet is nice. That is definitely one area the Halfords fall short on, not enough clicks, which is a bit pants in tight spaces.

The halfords are just so crude.. The ratchets aren't one of the best either.

Recently swapped and rebuilt an engine with one of this KS tools set ( borrowed from someone) , top stuff with more or less everything included you might ever need. I have some halfords stuff as well but it's carp if you have used nicer tools, Obviously these aren't the quality of something like snap-on but you get the point.

You've got me browsing now!

Found this with rachet spanners, never heard of Vonhaus, any good? The sort of thing I could just leave in the boot.

Those are crap, there are several different sets which looks similar but they are knockoffs and will come apart as soon as you start using them.. It's all about the brand when you buy sockets.
