I would highly recommend the Wera Zyclop Speed range.

Yeah I've seen them before. A mate had a few bits. Looked very well made.

Think I'm just going to get the Halfords.

Halfords definitely. And I'm a big Wera fan

Another vote for the Halfords socket sets with the lifetime warranty. Mine still going strong 21 years later.

I've only had to replace the short extention bar twice as the spring and ball bearing came out so it wouldn't stay attached to the socket . On both occasions, it was swapped no questions asked. They must've have a few come back as the design has now changed with no moving parts.

18 years on and my pro set is still going strong. Had a torx bit replaced that sheered. No questions asked, they just swapped it for me.
The hinges have gone on the plastic suitcase it comes in though
it's a fantastic kit to start building a tool collection with. Worked on many a car and mountain bike with it.

+1 for Halfords advanced tools.

I bought a 31 piece 1/4 drive socket set for £7 about 18mths ago, no idea why it was so cheap!

Halfords, especially when the sale is on. Lifetime gaurntee etc.

That's all I bought. Or Clarkes. Perfectly good for the dabbler.
