I buy my tools from Screwfix and car boot sales, some people are so daft they'll even give stuff away on freecycle. I got a big toolbox of sockets and ratchets on freecycle last year. 2 of the ratchets were snap on so I ebayed those and bought more new tools from Screwfix. Screwfix have a full 1/4 set including the long reach sockets for ?12.
I suppose I have a lot of tools because I've been buying them since I was 16. I have hammers that are older tham me
