Just picked this up today for £32. 3/8" drive and 1/4"- think it was the best part of £80 before (take the item code with you to the store if you want one though as they were a little dodgy selling it to me). Lifetime warranty etc too- and the extensions in the set are wobble drive

Also picked up a half decent tool chest for £50. All in all a good shopping trip

edit- the set also comes with 8 ratchet spanners.

yeah, the spanners are flat. The swivel ones are a few quid more. Been arsing about with the kit tonight and i'm fairly impressed so far- need to add a small breaker bar/torque wrench/deep metric/torx/allen sockets to it though. Will either get them from machinemart or halfords tbh.

Unfortunately i'm the mate who has the tools and the garage so not able to blag kit

Hmm, are the snap on ones warrantied for life with no real exclusions? if so (i'm planning on getting a couple of resto projects going) it might be worth getting as it'll last (until it gets nicked). Know what you mean with snap on kit though, its pretty pricey

What are teng/britool ones like in comparison?

I had to ask about 4 people until they found me one- even then they were reluctant. Still, used it yesterday to service the lawnmower and its pretty handy (also bought some draper expert deep sockets and a breaker bar now).
