Thank you for the update! I will keep it in mind while offering, maybe I should get both sets and list one on eBay.

It is a gorgeous set! There was also a decent Kingdick set from the same era with heavy well-made sockets that looks hard to find however the red Britool set looks very shinny and the overall unbelievable condition after four decades telling the story about the steel quality used by the...

Hello Dave, Hello Members, I came across this new socket set and I am wondering if you have some details about it, what is the fair price for it? And is it worth to buy even if I'm not coming to any non meteric applications? Regards, Ahmed

Thanks Dave! I think it is belong to 80's, JN time. It is labeled made in England. I got it, it was last set piece. Missing 10/11MM. Maybe that why it was collecting dust on shelf waiting for me. To complete the set I offered different British spanner (last piece also.. Lol) it is long...

Thanks for confirming, I found the set was missing 10~11mm and I was not sure about the oval pattern as the pack was completely worn out. That individual 9RBM1415 sold separately on the shelf for 5 pounds which is similar to the set. I would grab the set tomorrow. Have a nice weekend!

You should see the 10 pieces double-end offset ring spanner set (7~27mm) from the same era, It looks more rugged with a really thick ring and shaft, Also has a nicer lettering finish than the combination. I hesitated to buy it as It has a heavy large size spanner that I think I will never use...

Many thanks Dave for your kind support. I got it today and I am happy with the purchase. Although the finish is average but it will be much better spanners compared to modern Taiwanese tools. I added three small sizes below 10mm. I had a little chat with the old lady who owns the store. The...
