There's a problem though. As i can see the 150 piece doesn't have a T40

I was carefully studying the specification to see if it had one but I can't see one either, but I'm sure that's the sort of thing you could just buy on it's own...hopefully?

They must have changed the set, as i have one.   :-/

But yup, they are only a couple of quid on their own

[KillerWatt]

Is that going to be any good for me?

You get what you pay for Josh.

The link you provided is nothing more than cheap chinese crap mate.

What would you recommend KW?

[KillerWatt]

What would you recommend KW?

If money was no object, you & I both know what we'd go for Pete.

Realistically though, for the person who is at least semi-serious about home servicing...2 names spring to mind straight away....Britool & Kamasa.

Some of their prices may seem a bit dear to start with, but once you've worked with them, they are easily very good value for money.

Unfortunatley also Chinese (well Taiwan. R,O,C if you wana be spot on) I bought a Britool 3/4 drive set around four months ago & it's not the Britool that was made over here. I bought a King Dick 28 piece 1/2 drive around the same time & that is quality, but the price reflected that .
I personally don't like Snap-On, but each to their own.
We are talking a nineteen year old here though matey & he's probably on a budget

I do like king dick tools, I must admit. Built a Westfield with a cabinet full of them at a kit car show once. They raffled them off at the end. I didn't win.

That's what I was trying to bear in mind when suggesting Britool & Kamasa Pete.

Doesn't surprise me to hear that Britool have lost the edge because of farming out, I'm surprised that more haven't gone the same way to be honest.

As per Kev's shout though, King Dick is another good call (waits for Tunnie to make something out of that as well)

Oh haha.

I think Halfords Professional are more than up to the job of all Omega work, i only ever snapped one doing some work on a Senator.

Good thing with halfords pro is if you do damage or snap any, they will replace them, no questions asked.

They are one of the best IMO. My set cost £208.00 & that was with 40% off for being in the trade. You only buy them once though & so in the long term they do save you the £sss

[Kevin Wood]

In fairness, If you're starting with nothing the Halfords 150 pce set isn't a bad way to get 99% of what you'll need to work on an Omega, in one box, without too much messing about, but you'd be mad to pay more than 99 quid for it so buy it when it's on offer.

Tunnie, by all means be constructive in your crit/recommendations but the highlight comment shows you coming across as a bit of a bell end and unwilling to listen to counter discussion.... :-/

They only thing that set misses is adapters (like the 3/4 drive) But these are easily added.

Halfords Torque wrenches are good to start with too, i have both 15-60 Nm and 60-300Nm, and with the trade card they are very reasonable.

I have a Halfords Trade card here Josh, your welcome to use it
