Default Re: Tools - opinion and help needed

If you can justify the cash buy snap-on , my 3/8 and 1/2 drive ratchets are about to have there 30th birthday , there used 6 days a week as are the 20 odd year old single hex semi deep sockets , im not saying there unbreakable or don't wear down but they last and replacement is never an issue . that said snap-on have other tools called blue point whitch also have a lifetime warranty and they have a set on special , if my memory serves me its £480 down to £135 , spanners 8-19mm sockets 10-22mm , ratchet , small sammy bar and a couple of extentions . Our apprentice ordered them on tuesday so if it interests you I can post pics next week when they arrive .

Anyone heard of Hilka?? My mate asked me if I want a 1/4in socket set for tenner (unwanted present apparently)
Looks not bad, so what do you think, is it worth it??

Looks like it has most of the nice stuff to have for the bikes, hex bits and a couple of extension options. Don't have any experience of their quality though.

it sounds like good bargain, I looked at it and it looks like not bad quality but I'll wait, maybe someone have got some experience with them.
