Socket sets.

[DM]

Whats the difference between 3/8 and 1/4 socket sets, does it make a difference?

Im thinking of rowing the boat right out and getting this to use up my £10 Halfords voucher

What do the tool experts think?

Im never going to use it, i just cant bear not using the tenner voucher

Thanks for the advice chaps.

If you want to spend it on something shiny that will be genuinely useful, get yourself a 1/4 breaker bar with the voucher. Keep it in the back of the car and it will make wheel changes a lot less hassle than the conventional kit. Also useful if you ever find yourself in a position where you are having to defend yourself (not that I am recommending it for that purpose).

I have a confession to make, when i get a puncture i ring the RAC, i know fail

On the upside im not too bad at having a fight, and iv got a big maglight torch in the car

As for the rest of you, she can clean her own black car, and im doing my best with the DIY!!!

I'd say this would be more useful:

Alternatively, use your voucher to buy another voucher - an iTunes card or something

Its too late me son has left for halfords with his instructions

In my books it is a lot less annoying than waiting hours upon hours for a recovery truck to turn up.

That used to be the case, most times they are with you in 40 minutes now

It would take me that long to change the wheel!

My son is still not back from Halfords, obviously off doing something vital like buying trainers.

Anyway i have yet to see my shiny new sockets but his girlfriend is waiting for him, so he wont be long.

I will go and find something to undo and test them
