Has anyone else noticed issues with Snap On UK quality control? I ordered 2 3/8 ratchets and 2 1/2 ratchets. Out of the 4 ratchets, 2 have damage. The 3/8 ratchet seems to have been dropped, and is all scuffed (I know this makes no real difference in usage, but paying SO prices, I expect to get...

I was just wondering, would it be worth picking up the SL80a when I already have the SX80b? Anyone any experience using both? Or is a better combo the SL80a and SF80a? Usage is just for working on cars and small pickups. Thanks all

So, to start, this is just for home use. I have been going through my tool box, and the toptul hex and torx sockets I have are looking a bit worse for wear. Rounded corners on the hex sockets, and the torx is looking a bit bucked too. I don't really want to spend a fortune, as these are only...

I am searching for a set of e torx spanners in the UK. Does anyone have any recommendations? They won’t be used that frequently so I don't see any point dropping big money on them unless it actually makes a huge difference in the quality. Every set I seem to find misses an E16, which is...

I got a set of Hazet 600n spanner’s a year or so back, at the time I was also considering the Stahlwille 14 series. The time has come to buy these, but now I see that Gedore offer similar at a similar price. I was going to pick up the 14 series and 13 series Stahlwille on Amazon de. Does...

Hey all, I am looking to upgrade my DMM which is currently a Klein MM400. I was initially looking at the Fluke 117, though after some research, the 87V seems to be quite popular. My question is, which am I better off going for? I won’t be using it professionally, though I would like to try...

I am looking to grab some torx screwdrivers, for general purpose use, small engines, car work... I am looking at the PB Swiss Multicraft T8-T30, or Snap On set, does anyone have any opinions on either? I know the PB are well regarded, but in comparison to the SO, how do they fair out? I don't...

I have a SO ratcheting screwdriver, hard handle version, and it’s great, apart from one thing, the magnet. The magnet on my PB swiss bit driver is far better, I mean, I’m guessing, 3-5 times as strong. Using the SO driver, I sometimes get bits stuck in the Fastners, torx more so, with the PB...

After my thread about hex keys, I’m now on the hunt for torx l keys. I already have T handles, screwdrivers and sockets. Everything I look at seems to be really short L Keys. I was going to get the PB Swiss set, but they seem tiny, though the long set they have only goes up to T25. Should I...

I want to pick up a set of PB Swiss hex l keys for general use. Should I go for the long or standard set, and ball end vs no ball end. I’m thinking long non ball end, if I need a ball end, I can go get them from my van I suppose. Or do I buy long and standard in non ball… I already have a set...

I ordered the C6-900 PB bit set from Amazon EU, brand new, not a warehouse item. It arrived today, and it looks like someone has bought it, took out the PB bits, and replaced them with cheap sh*t bits. The bits weren’t even the same as what was supposed to be in the set. Just a word of...

I picked up an 8mm Wiha driver today while I was out, but the writing on the handle is red, my others are white, anyone know why this is? Older model perhaps? It’s driving me mad looking at it in my drawer with the rest having white writing lol Oh, the vessels and Wiha are only new a few days...

I have just seen on the Only Quality Tools website that they are closing down. There goes my source for PB bits. Anyone know anything about this, or another source for the 2 inch PB Swiss bits. I have been using the bits for a year or so now, and am tempted to put in an order to stock up a...

Home gamer here, and I am looking to upgrade my sockets, currently have Facom 3/8 shallow, which I am happy with, bahco 3/8 deep, and bahco 1/4 shallow. I want to change the 1/4 and 3/8 deeps to something a bit better. I looked at koken zeal’s, but I can actually get 1/4 and 3/8 Snap On...

I bought the toptul ratchet crimper last week, and tried it out, it hasn’t really impressed me if I’m honest. I am using TE open barrel terminals, and 0.75mm^2 wire, and a 6.35mm spade rated for 0.5-1mm^2 I tested it out in the smallest part of the die, stamped 0.5-1. The terminal crimped...

I was removing the track rod end today on my van, and the threads got a bit messed up/galled, causing a scene, and having to go out and buy a track rod end. I think the threads where damaged before I started undoing the nut, but I didn’t notice, and things went down hill from there. There has...

I am looking to buy a torx set for general use. Car repairs, home repairs…. I already have sockets, and l keys, but sometimes the hole leading to the bolt is too narrow to let me in with sockets, and the l keys are pretty short. Question is, am I better with screwdriver handles, or t handles...

First post here, but I have been lurking for quite some time now! Just go myself a set of Hazet 600N to go with my Facom 440, as they are a but longer, 7-24, and 27. I was on the fence between the 600N and the Stahlwille 14, but when a deal came up on Amazon for £122 for the 7-24, I couldn't...
