Hex sockets. Best place to buy them
petergalileo:
My old Bus garage swore by Halfords. They are as good as Britool or snap on but less cost. I have used them for years too, never had one break.
Only thing I will say is
Why oh why hasn't any tool manufacturer combatted the "sprout legs and run away" syndrome that strikes these damned tools. Every time I go to my tool box to get a socket or a spanner its bloody walked off somewhere else, I try and find it but alas its quicker to go and buy another. Its costing me a fortune,
BEtween you, I and the 10000 people who may read this I think its a conspiracy by these toold companies to get us to buy more tools.

Maybe they install homing devices in them.
When your not looking, they creep out of the tool box and leg it down the street, Toy Story style.
:lol:

halfords stuff is good, profeesional stuff at least, got a fair bit of their stuff, although i did sheer a half inch extension in half last week,
probably didmt help that i had a 30mm socket and a 3 foot breaker bar on it, lol!
