Tools
solihull-mick:
From a trade point of view, as i use my tools every day, snap on is the only one i use, not cheep and not as good as they used to be , but wouldnt use anything else,
TechnoTurkey:
I've got a selection of the halfords pro stuff and quite happy with all of it. The problem usually for me is the person holding the tools!
Disco Matt:
My other thought is one of buying decent ratchet handles, but cheaper sockets. I come from a family of amateur mechanics and I don't think any of us have ever broken a socket, but cheap handles aren't usually nice to use, and that's the point of contact between you and the tool so to speak.
By "cheaper" I mean £15 Sealey, not £5 dodgy!

I Have a set of teng spanners set of teng screw drivers and a set of teng 3/8 drive sockets I've had them 12 years and swear by them .
I also trawl the car boot for snap on , facom, britool ,king dick ,elora(old stuff) and Beta .
My lovely wife bought me a 3/4" draper set for xmas :dance: it's great for the big stuff on the disco :clap: :clap:

I have a 30 year old Draper socket set. Not a single problem! Only added a different ratchet as the original is not very ergonomic.
