does that set go big enough for wheel nuts?
As said, I will show you the 150 piece set when you pick up that steering column...

No indication of the sale in store.  The £150 set was listed as exaclty that £150!

Fairly tempted to place an order though.

I can recommend the Halfords Breaker Bars.  I have one and regularly use it.  Never been an issue.  Wheel nuts I think are either 15 or 18mm and I would have thought that this set would include both of these sizes.  I recall using my small Stanley set for the wheel nuts recently.

I hate the halfords site, you search for breaker bar and sod all comes up. Search for torque wrench and the cheapest one is £50!! Machine Mart site is much better.

Thinking of getting the 150 set from halfrauds, and these:

Torque Wrench:

Only problem with the torque wrench is that it starts from 28nm - I could do with one that starts much lower. But good price  :y

Got one of these, not machine mart one, but that kind of thing. Keep it MV6, excellent for when the wheel nuts are too flippin tight...

Cheers for that.  I will keep a sharp eye out on the durability front.  I nearly got the model that you bought as I liked the idea of the hose reel, but could not justify paying £100 for this!

What was the washer actually like though?

Yes, I saw the oil on offer as well.  There were also a few deal on batteries and winter fluids.

TBH it was underpowered for the PSI claimed - ideal for the car but I wanted to scrub the block paved drive too and it struggled to shift the mould - until it fell over  :-X
