    Snap-On Torx vs Mac Torx

    i live in the uk and some brands will not put a warranty on the t40 size. this is all thanks to Ford who decided to use this size to fit the front brake callipers to certain ford transit vans. as you may well imagine these are tight. it is very common for the tool to break during normal use...

    U.K. Guys! What is "Machine Mart" like?

    OK unless you need to return a faulty item. the after sales service is ****. i know as i had trouble getting a faulty hoover replaced. dont touch the sealey hoovers (vac king) as the pipes break as soon as you put the slightest pressure on them. they are made of thin flimsy plastic
