and its Sizes 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19mm. against
8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 17mm


yes, they are more exxy and worth every cent

That's an Australian website and they quote prices in au, not usd :)
but you don't have to pay that much. Go to Total Tools or similar and
you'll pick up the same set for less than $80, no postage. I have a
set. They were on the shelf for $99 at the tool store I went to but the
guy knocked the price down to $70something when I told him xyz tool shop
in Sth Melbourne had the same set for that price. HE didn't even ask
for a catalogue or advertisement so he must've known there was a fair
bit of flexibility in his price.

I rarely take my fathers advice, and he rarely has much to say worth
listening to IMHO, but when I was young he told me when it came to tools
you don't bother with the cheap ones. You buy the best and they'll last
for a lifetime. Half of the tools in his toolbox are older than he is,
and he's older than Johno.

I wonder why Aldi decided nooone would need a 12mm...

At this point I'll mention my favourite pusher www.transquip.com.au

they have regular member's specials on things like good quality
ratchet spanners.
