Another vote for Teng here.

Halfords Pro for me. Also if you are after a set time it right when they have an offer on and its even better value.

Just seen the same deal so reserved a set for pick up later, only concern is only has a 6 and 8mm hex socket but guess I can pick up some extra ones if/when I need them

Another vote for halfrauds pro, but dont like their sockets, prefer the proper 6 point rather than 12 point ones

Just be aware that a few thread/heads will self destruct no matter how good your tools.

Halfords pro here too:

150pc Socket Set
Bendy rachet spanners
10-60 & 40-200Nm Torque wrenches
Screwdriver set

All have been good, I had a minor issue with the 1/4" wrench and extension bar, so took them back with no receipt, got the wrench replaced and the equivalent cost off a 2pc extension bar kit 'cause they didn't have the single one in stock

All the stuff feels solid and to date hasn't slipped or damaged the bike in any way

Glad this thread came up actually, might invest in that £99 Halfords pro set.

Excuse this numpties question, but when would you use a spanner instead of a socket wrench and vice versa. Do pretty much the same job right?
