Background...
A couple of months ago I purchased an old but good nick freshly MOT'd Peugeot 106 in anticipation of my children (multiple) all needing to learn to drive over the next few years.
It's been in the garage for a couple of months, and I have taken it out every couple of weeks to keep the battery charged. Yesterday I backed the car out, and after about 1 metre one of the rear brake drums locked. After a bit of forward/reversing it freed itself. I tried again today, and it locked again. very annoying. Needs to be fixed.
Basically I need to whip the drums off, inspect, clean and grease and possibly change the shoes on these alien (Bendix?) self adjusting brakes.
So for the first time in 25 years I have today dug out my old trolley jack (still works amazingly), axle stands and other car tools that my father summarily ejected from his garage and passed back to me in the 1980's only to discover that I am an AF man in a metric world. I need a 32mm socket to get the drum off a Peugeot. I don't have any socket that large, let alone a metric one.
So I am in the market for a metric socket set that goes to at least 32mm, and I would like to get a decent one before next weekend.

Q. Is Britool a decent brand? Are there any other brands I should be looking out for?
