They rock. Mightily.

 

Indeed - did some fettling today. They've got a wonderful feel, nice
weight, and they get into some tight spots.

 

OOOOOOOoooohhhhh!

You bastard. There's a Halfords close by the office.

 

Wankers.

They pulled a similar stunt at Xmas 'cept it /was/ the £49.99 set in the
link you provided. They had 'em for £25 and like a total tit, I failed to
buy them.

Hah. You're talking to the man who failed to get that cheap digital camera

Do they only have bargains in Yorkshire then?

 

When I was fettling I found I needed two spanners, one either side of
the fitting. I think if I had two sets I'd be in home-mechanic heaven.

Go on - you know you want to. You could always ebay them after the
offer...

 

I've already got a full set of non-ratchet spanners

 

The Bath Road branch in Slough still has a stack of them, if anyone
in the area is thinking about it...

 

Bollox! Gee I'm so pleased that I bought a set at full price just
after christmas when the special offer sets had all *just* sold out...
B*st*rd salesman said that they wouldn't be repeating the offer...
That said, they have earned their keep, so perhaps I shouldn't be
bitter...

I might do, if they had the flexible heads and were about a 10th of the
price.

That's it, really. Paying for them on the drip is how the SO men hook
you. Having said that, I don't for one minute regret buying the SO stuff
I have - it's lasted me 30 years so far.

My 20 quid Kamasa socket set has lasted me 20+ years so far.

And plenty of other tools have lifetime guaruntees nowadays

 

Mine too. More than 25, in fact. But I'm not certain it would have
done so if in use for 8 hours a day every day.

I've got/had some Kamasa stuff of that vintage. It was good, no doubt
about it, but it turned to shit sometime in the mid 80s. Might be better
now.

Today yes. Remember what was around 25 or 30 years ago; clumsy,
ill-designed spanners and socket sets made for Clunky the Locomotive
Boy. Compared to that, Snap-On stuff was a world apart - it was a sheer
delight using it.
