Socket set

robgraham · 2013-05-01T13:27:08+00:00

My maturing (at last!) son asked about a source of an affordable socket set for the odd bit of car maintenance, etc. My something like 40 year old 1/2" drive set cost me 99p, because the lassy in the store rang £9.99 up wrong !! - and has lasted me well. Where should I suggest he goes for something uncomplicated - he's prepared to pay ~£30, and with a system that makes errors like the one I should have been honest about !! Rob

I tried to take the socket back. They did eventually replace the broken one but it took a little persuasion ;-)

(Initially they said I needed the original receipt *and* all the original packaging).

Lidl are doing a tool kit next Monday for 70 quid which includes a comprehensive socket set. I've found Lidl hand tools ok for normal DIY and pretty good value - so might be worth a look.
