We are talking a nineteen year old here though matey & he's probably on a budget ;)
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.

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.... :-/

I've never been concerned by peoples opinions of me. I can't be bothered to counter his childish comments anymore.

I took a 17mm socket back to Halfords recently, they changed it no questions asked.

So what you may ask, well, the thing is that it was part of a set I bought in 1989 !  :y :y :y

worth spending the extra due to the warranty alone, they will not cover that first set mentioned as they know it will fall to bits very quickly.

Re snap on, they are over priced, but i have splashed out on one of their ratchets, the one with the swivel head, as the mechanism is far more accurate, and reliable, for getting in tight spaces.

Halfords ratchets are ok, but they dont have the accuracy and incremental movement of the snap on and can jam and stick, as can their ratchet spanners, crap in them i guess, as air line and light lube sorts it but never ever had an issue with the snap on.

Re the halfords trade card, it cant be used in conjunction with any other offer. Still worth having though, may as well apply while your there. :-)
