Post by: omegod on 06 August 2014, 20:28:52
Ooer Mrs !

I picked up a job lot of over 150 used sockets and sorting through them found a few King Dick ones ;D made me laugh but never heard of them, the rest seem ok Britool, Kamasa, tonnes of Halfords ones , a few impact sockets and swivel joints....all for £5.10  :y

Yes, have a few of their sockets and spanners kicking around.

Dad has a load of old spanners and sockets in AF sizes that I stopped him throwing out in case I ever have a classic car..... Oh well, i'll keep dreaming.

Good to see they are still going, very good quality tools. I've got a few kicking around, that I inherited from my dad.

You have just made me feel very old - I have some imperial ring spanners from that manufacturer in my garage!

Yes, of the brands you listed, King Dick were about the best.

I think most of my Whitworth spanners are King Dick.
