I think I thought it was the J.161L that was included and not the smaller one. Thanks for letting me know, I don't have a 1/2 set and the moment and I think I'll just wait until I purchase one, rather than buying a third 3/8 drive ratchet! I have to say I thought 3/8 drive sockets were capable...

So the Facom set arrived today and I was initially quite disappointed, as the ratchet ins't the same one as shown in the image. I should have looked closer at the description which stated that the ratchet was a Facom J.161, but it is definitely smaller than the one shown in the photograph. It's...

Hi folks, I'm looking to purchase a good 3/8 socket set. I currently have a Halfords Professional 3/8 12 point socket set and set of Sealey AK2693 Wall Drive Scokets but I'm not overly fond of either of them. I would like a good quality 6 point socket set which which will grip the nut/bolt well...
