. . . Which was a mistake by the way. The lock ring that secures sockets on is, well, shite and I struggle to get sockets on even after 3 months.

Probably teaching granny to suck eggs, but have you greased it? Made a hell of a difference to my midrange ratchets...

Not at all GK. . . Appreciate the input  :y

I actually haven't. I assumed it was meant to crush slightly so you could get sockets on easy but still have it so they don't fall off. I'll try that so thanks for that mate  :y

Yeah but sadly we don't have a torch at the shop.

I have used one before. Got to admit... I loved it!  :y
