regardless of weather they are worth it or not, tengs warranty in the UK at least is good. 2 items that i had broken i rang them and without proof they just sent me a repair kit and something else within 48 hrs. wouldnt pay the new prices but ive had a good few items second hand for cheap.

how far do you lot like to travel or willing to travel for tools? im fairly lazy and only bother within a 10-15 mile radius of my home. last night i did a 14 mile round trip for a record no 3 vice for £15. im saying lazy but i guess its down to fuel costs... no point in spending £10 in fuel for...

if working on cars is your job then i understand, but £50 on somthing you might only use 10 times in 10 years seems far to much on a 1 job tool. i just use normal irwin water pump pliers to grip the clips and move them down the pipe and they only cost like £12 - 15 from screwfix or somthing like...

those sockets came with the ratchet aswell which say made in japan, not sure if the same brand. i never really use that old britool ratchet, i tend to use the bahco as it has a lot more teeth. i only bought them halfords torx drivers at christmas as i needed to change my door lock in a seat leon...
