The obvious one is Monsuir L'Snap-on. But he's a swine. Not so much a tool seller but a tool pusher. they get you interested with maybe a screwdriver set, or astrip of sockets that they have on special offer. He'll ply you and persuade you with things like lifetime guarantee's and weekly payment plans .... before you know it your handing over half your wages each week. Oh yes, Monsuir L'Snap-on is a nefarious creature. Once you've started useing sockets that fit and dont slip you'll be addicted to them. You'll save your knuckles too.
Halfrauds do a nice range now, again they supposedly have a lifetime guarantee .... but they don't have the "feel" of snap-ons wares.
Machine Mart do the Irwin stuff. Nice gear.

Clarke pro range at Machine Mart, cheap enough and lifetime guarantee on a lot of it (or hush hush wink wink......go round car boots looking for old cheap snap on tools, break em and get a brand new one from snap on man 8) )
blackbob:
check local boot sales

look for snapon britol falcom
if u find snapon u can swap it for new ones if the croam is damaged ie flaking
