Some bugger's 'ad me spanners!
I've looked and looked, and I can't find 'em anywhere, so either the missus has tidied up, or some bugger's gone off with 'em (or the Alzheimers has set in, but let's not go there)
Anyway, I see that Halfroods have a 150 pc set going for 99 smackers. It's the ahem "pro" stuff, so lifetime guarantee. There are lots of things I can use - all the standard metric and a/f sockets, the deep sockets, the combo spanners, the ratchet spanners.
Theres also a bunch of torx bits etc which may come in useful once in a blue moon.
BUT it all comes in a massive case, which is a total PITA, and of course all the little sockets like to jump out.
Anyway, here's my question.
Do I buy this set, and also buy a bunch of socket holders so I can split everything up and put it all in an easy to carry tool box,
OR
Buy a smaller socket set (got me eye on a Britool 1/2" number for 50 odd quid), and some spanners, and some a/f sockets (which I need).
Tell me, O wise ones of the forum, what should I do? Or even, what would YOU do?
