    My Gedore sockets aren't rusted on the inside..

    All my sockets even from my 2010 set have this brown wax or oil coating that is still deep inside the socket, strange that they have stopped doing this on newer sockets.

    Cheapest place I have seen those gloves, normally £15-20 online and £20 in stores, I wouldn't be surprised if homebase are shutting some stores, they might be introducing a new line, or just shutting the whole thing down ruff times in the UK.

    decent bit socket selection?

    Plus 1 for the OTC set it's sold under a few other brands, really nice selection of torx sockets and really strong. As for my allen I have Sonic Tools, they have really surprised me for been 3/8 sockets and i've pretty much used them where I shouldn't. I never paid website asking price, but...

    Can get a set of long hazets 10-19 for around the cost of these basic snap-on spanners. When the price isn't inflated on the hazet set that is.. 16-18 isn't as common but still comes up alot in cheaper cars as they can save a penny or two instead of using 17-19 bolts/nuts.

    Gearwrench poll! How good is gearwrench

    I have ratcheting wrenches they are pretty nice for what I paid, I also bought the 120xp 1/2 ratchet and very impressed with what it can handle and it's still newish and feels tight nice for the price.

    Swivel sockets. They don’t like me.

    Might sound crazy but low strength thread lock works as well, works pretty good on ball type swivels as well e.g work light with swivel base.

    Security lug nut adaptor

    Amazon, someone on ebay will be selling them, Big car parts retail stores may stock them, more than likely won't be 'genuine' vw but they will be 3rd party and cheaper. They locking key should have a part number, every lug nut key I have seen has a part number, quick google should bring up the...

    Tools from the old world

    Interesting tests, the Stahlwille looked destroyed, but softer spanners will usually bend before giving up saving your hands, while the harder spanners will usually snap or give up and may cause damage to your hand. The Hazet, Toptul, Elora so on have are well balanced in my opinion. While...

    Do you still use a breaker bar ?

    Yes, both 3/8 and 1/2 long handled ratchets really aren't that strong.

    Tools from the old world

    I picked up mine for £30-35 can't remember the exact price, for that price I really do recommend you won't be disappointed, the flex is under a lot of stress and for the price I paid its fine, they don't feel as if their going to break nor do they take the form so yeah if you can find them cheap...

    Shopping by Quality Instead of Price

    I already have snap on sockets and ratchets, they just work and are reliable. The wrench set I would want is the Hazet 600LG set. I tried Snap on I didnt really like them, with a tiny bit of oil they felt slippery and working in poor conditions with tons of fluids they didnt work well with...
