I got the socket set from them, which is a good set, bar the wrenches .. 35 quid ... they may be OK for the price ..

I've got excess to expensive tools if need be, these are just for at home ..

Ahh bugger it,
spend a little more and get some tools that will last you!

I am exactly the kind of person that would have jumped at this kind of thing although many moons ago my brother who used to work in on aircraft brought me a pukker set of sockets/spanners and such and till this day i have never needed to use anything else.

The are in fantastic nick, dont ever seem them failing me, the rachet has never missed a beat and is as tight as ever...

I guess it took a few years and i'm still a little partial to buying cheap versions of things i use one off or very very rarely but for something your going to use plenty, invest the extra few bucks

Although... saying that, i am on the lookout for a cheap tourque wrench as i have an engine to put rebuild from scratch and may be doing an engine swap in a car and thats about it lol

Best regards

Your right, but for me these will be better than nothing, and mainly for one, i'm not known for helping out in the workshop section, and two .. have a brother who allways buys the best gear which i can borrow at leasure ...

Go and buy a case of pieces from halfords, and when you break something, replace it with snap on or another high quality tool, that way you end up with the high quality tools you use the most, a good amount of ones you might need to use, and will stand up to a use or two, also you will have the lowest possible dent in your pocket.

The digital caliper will be accurate to 0.1 and will last if you take care of it. You only need the expensive ones if you're a precision engineer.

There's f'all to go wrong with cheap spanners, they're usually pretty good unless they're being handed out for free.

Socket sets will last a while if you're not using them all the time and using the ratchet for torquing or breaking. The sockets themselves are made from cheese and will eat themselves after a while.

The pillar drill will work but it will be a pain in the ass when the belt constantly slips when drilling steel larger than 6mm. Just gotta work slower than a proper drill.

I never listed the other things you menstion ...

I'm hoping the spanners will be OK ... not sure the screwdrivers are worth 7 quid though, i have a few already ...

Sockets cheese ... the sockets i have 35 lidl ones are good and are reconised as the same as another good set of sockets .. the rachets apparently are not so good ..

Shit tools like that are not designed for automotive stuff mate, they're for putting together ikea furniture and home diy. Using crap tools will quite possible end up damaging you or your bike when something snaps.

Well i will be just getting the 8 quid set, and come any seroius work time, will just borrow bros .. and perhaps get a better set in the future ..
