Hey all,

I'm after a good set of tools, currently I'm in the habit of borrowing my brother's or my Dad's socket set, but I have my own ratchet spanners, normal spanners, deep socket heads, screwdrivers and various other bits and bobs. But generally speaking I tend to wait to do work on the car until I have someone's socket set, which is silly given that I practically do everything on my own cars.

So spec me please. Looking for a high quality, diverse set. Ideally I don't want it to have things that I already have, but if it comes with space for them in the box, why not.

Price wise, say tops £150?

Hmm. Thanks for the opinions so far. The Halfords one is one I was looking at but I too was concerned about the 12pt sockets.

Do they do anything with 6pt? Or are there any suggestions for some good 6pt ones from anywhere else? The one I borrow from my Dad is a 6pt but as always he doesn't recall where he bought it, but it's a great set and my brother's is actually the 150 piece one from Halfords... I'll probably pop into Halfords today for a look, but would like to know of good alternatives please.

:)
