I got a set of cheap (think they were trident) impact sockets when I 1st starting in the trade and the 13, 16, 17, 19 and 21 have had to be replaced with snap on either due to rounding or splitting down the side but I have no experience with sunex so can't give you a definative answer just...

I want, been looking at it hanging from the van roof for a month but can't afford it. 3/8 super duty impact wrench

Ha know a lad from surrey I know people from allover the UK because my apprentaship was in coventry and people from everywhere in the UK went. Yeah I thought it was cool like but he was driving slowly on the way out and at the time I had a tuned car with bucket seats and stainless exhaust so...

I just learned how to sharpen bits on a bench grinder in the last few months as there is a blacksmith I work with at my garage and he was sick of being the only one who everyone asked so he showed me, its really easy so if you have a bench grinder I'd save the money for a drill Dr

Think the only made in Canada thing I have is my snap on box lol

I have that kit if you buy it when its on promo its only 100 pound so aprox 130dollars well worth the money in my opinion

Jesus! Really i have seen those badboys from the 70's and never in metric so didn't think they were still around lol i'll have a quick Google I need some double ended ring spannners thanks :)

Good point just thought I may aswel ask the question as I keep getting told I should buy what look to me inferior quality for not too much cheaper prices, I like snap on and a couple of the euro brands and the service they provide I just wish there was a UK firm that did the same it seems stupid...

... It seems impossible, there doesn't seem to be any good tools made in the UK so it seems I'm either going to have to stay with my current snap-on spending spree or go German. Both the older technicians at my work say britool but I have heard quality has moved on little since the nineties so...
