do you use them day in, day out???? if not then they will be good but if they are used all day every day like mine then they tend to wear out and fail,

Interesting that someone mentioned Rolson (in terms of "don't" :lol: ). I have one giant adjustable spanner of theirs which I have yet to find a use for apart from holding the other end of towbar bolts while torquing them up. However, it was £8 and looks impressive in the toolbox... :dance:

Another issue is dont abuse tools, no matter how good. My halford's pro ratchet is now a bit iffy due to me putting an extension tube on it, or whacking it with a hammer. Im older and wiser now and only use breaker bars or long handled ratchets that are designed for that level of use.
Another brand im not sure about is US Pro, seem to be sold at car shows etc. seem ok and I have some very nice high cobolt drills by them, but sometimes they seem too cheap.

They don't get used every day - Just on weekends when I need to fix something I've broke on one of either my cars or one of my mates. Some of my teng stuff is getting on for 6-7 years old now and they still perform as good now as they did on day one. But I do tend to look after my tools very well and only ever use them for there intended purpose. You'll never see me putting an extension tube on the end of a ratchet...lol

I like the finish on the teng stuff it's not so slippy when oily , it's sort of shot blast but smooth finished.. not like the very shiney snap on or halfrauds pro...
