Re: Tools - opinion and help needed
Yes the same set I have.
I'd be happy to get by with 1/2", 1/4"... but I'd add a set of allen sockets too as they're really really useful for the bikes.

Re: Tools - opinion and help needed
Never one to miss a this is my stuff opportunity.
Toolbox  As I said I have a couple of "sets" although most of my sockets are loose  Top :- 3/4" drive set 19-50mm & 1/2" drive impacts Middle 1/2" drive Bahco, 3/8 drive Teng, 1/2" drive Britool torx Bottom Britool 1/2" drive alternator pulley sockets/drive, cheap 1/4" set that is surprisingly useful, Snap on 1/2" drive deep sockets, 3/8" Halford and 3/8 allen bits. I have a separate toolbox for my imperial spanners/sockets etc. And yes I have actually used the 50mm socket (to take the drum off a concrete mixer)

Re: Tools - opinion and help needed
If you're doing chassis work on the bike then 1/2" drive torque wrench, for wheel spindles and such. Most common use really.
Other than that, a 3/8" one, that can go down to 10Nm or below. For lots of stuff in the engine and elsewhere.

Re: Tools - opinion and help needed
Can anyone recomend something for getting out very corroded screws from my carbs (screws that hold the choke plunger in place). Don't really want to drill them out and the philips cross head bit is no more as the head of the screws are so soft so can't use my impact driver.

Its easier in the long run. Just give everything a soak in penetrating oil also. Make sure you have a good set of mole grips for the plunger.
