Yep google works wonders, but all im getting is a load of places that seems to sell them, not so much any forums were there seems to be any feedback.

been given a load of galtona taps but the problem is they arnt metric, are these a decent brand? they are from my step dads shed and have 0 use to me so wont waste space keeping them, if they are junk ill chuck them, but if they are decent ill try and sell them and pass the money to my step dad
