That does seem very similar, socket sets like that are ideal to keep in the car too, just in case.

Talking of cheap socket sets... I bought a socket set from wilkinsons for £7 once. Still use it. Yes the 13mm flowered on the VWs alternator adjuster, but it did take apart and rebuild the engine (where specialist sockets werent required) and it has fixed and changed parts on both the toyota and lexus since...
Yeah I have proper socket sets in the back of the garage... but i find it more entertaining using a set i bought for under a tenner thats served so well since!

Nice one Panda. I've just bought two sets for Area 52 out of the 'kitty' donations made by everyone at the last play weekend.
Fingers crossed that means I can now re-claim my own Halfords kit? I just hope they can take the abuse that the Halfords set has over the past four years?

I saw that someone had bought two sets and did wonder if if was someone off here. Hope you find them as good as i am finding my set  |

I think we need an 'Offers section' to help other Retro riders out on offers that we find in store / online that can be of benefit to all...

we could just change the title of this thread to "bargains found online" and keep updating it when we find something that will help another RRer out |

Anyone bought this set yet and can comment on the quality?? Agreed it looks like the Laser box but it could be filled with cr@p - don't want to waste cash if it's no good.

When they were still going I bought a set from Tschibo for about £30, the amount of abuse it has put up with is quite incredible, however I've also had socket sets in the past that were made of very very soft metal or alternatively were very brittle and snapped when you applied a decent amount of force.

I've been using the same one for months as my main socket set and it's done everything I've asked of it just fine.

Stuff like this is great! I've got an £11 homebase 1/4" drive set I keep for all the tiny fiddly jobs, and never had it break or fail. Had one stolen, so bought another! This looks a bargain though, if the quality is there. Perfect to keep in the car alongside a breaker bar, it's all you'd need!
