Spotted these on another forum, ideal for a glovebox set perhaps

Well, the Bahco is about ten times the quality, however, these are certainly 10/10 in terms of value. It's hard to imagine how tight something at, say 8mm, could possibly be, that even a cheap socket would fail. These certainly are a cracking 'just in case' set  :)
