As I type this, #2 son is busy unpacking the Red one he's just walked in with. It's not exactly Pro quality, but UK for the price. The foam cut outs for the 1/2" combi and 1/4 drive ratchet are the wrong size though. -- Rob_P UKRM(at)indqualtec.co.uk uppercase(d) BBIWYMC#1 BOG#11?

Sir wants the £100 pro 150-piece socket and ratchet set and the £40 10- piece flex-head spanner set. I have both and they are excellent. Last time they were giving the black pro roll-cab away with the pro sockets, spanners and screwdrivers sets. For £250 all in. -- SeanH - '01 Fazer 600 in black | '97 GSX-R 750 SRAD.

I have a few of the Snap on fixed head ratchet spanners too, but only the 10/13/17/19mm variety. I thought I'd buy a full set of cranked ones from Laser, as they might have come in useful, but I've yet to use any of them. Pointless if you have a decent range of deep sockets ... Paul. |
