Hi

Can anyone reccomend a good place to buy cheap, good quality tools from.
I need things like, socket set, spanner set, torque wrench. Just the usuals.

Thanks, Dom

(p.s. im in staffordshire, but any place online would be great too)

The Halfords Professional range is good quality and you can order online from their website.

Ebay's always good for cheap tools. The quality on the few that I've bought has been fine.

Agreed, i started my tool collection with Halfords professional bits, and now i have added to it with some Teng Tools spanners/tools that are not available in the Halfords range. I got a 4 draw top chest for most of my gear, and im getting a Halfords tool cabinet this month to put it on, and store the rest of my gear.
I need a good workbench now, with a large vice, and also a parts washer, and small compressor. I think the SIP range of compressors looks quite decent, but does anyone have any reccomendations where i can get a decent work bench from a reasonable price. I ws thinking of getting an old woodworking bench, and screwing a sheet of aluminium to the top, but i cant find an old bench going spare thats less than about 10ft long!

If you're really on a budget, you can get a set from B&Q for £20 that has most of the bits you'll need to start with except a torque wrench. It's what I initially bought, and despite expecting the tools to give up the ghost quite quickly, they've actually all been OK. Not exactly top of the range, but it's fine for what I do. I'm buying better / other tools as and when I need them, which isn't often.
