Default Re: tool set

I like Clarke Pro from machine mart, decent cheap tools. Halfords often have good sales on, which is just as well because their stuff's still slightly too expensive even when it's discounted- but it's good stuff, the guarantee's very rarely useful just because it doesn't often break. The golden rule with everything is if there's a value range and a pro range, the value range will be mince. THis goes especially for Draper- they do have some very good stuff, but they also have some absolute rubbish, and it's not always easy to tell which is which til it breaks.

I've bene slowly replacing my old kit with Teng Tools, really nice- they're expensive but they're durable and just generally nicer to use than most stuff.
