muzaz Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hi, I'm looking for a good quality tool set...not for landrover use obviously. Was looking at Facom and USAG, what you guys suggest? Facom turned out to be bloody expensive, the tools I need totaling roughly 2600Eur SnapOn is the same... USAG are not exactly cheap either but they seem to be limited when it comes to AF sizes which I need most. Craftsman seem to fit the bill nicely, they got a lifetime warranty and cover AF sizes very well, with 12sided sockets in deep reach and standard lengths. Dont know about quality tho. I need tools which are trustworthy, in the sense that I dont want a socket slipping as I wouldnt have a spare bolt, I'd need a spanner to be slim and strong for areas with limited access etc. But in the same time I dont want to spend a fortune! Any ideas and recommendations are welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br00n1e Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I have some craftsman tools I brought home from the US and they seem fine compared to the snap on tool I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muzaz Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hi thanks for the reccomendations, keep them coming... No we dont have Halfords here, well we have a lot of brands, but its either too cheap or too expensive...and apart from that AF sizes are a bit of a rare thing with some brands... for example you dont find 12pointed deep reach 1/4"drive sockets from 3/16" to 9/16" so easly!! I have to check mostly from ebay or online shops hoping to find a bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 how about contacting Halfords and see if they'll send over? might do something strange with the guarantee though?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzaz Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 how about contacting Halfords and see if they'll send over? might do something strange with the guarantee though?? Unfortunately it looks like they dont ship overseas... and I havent seen any AF sockets or spanner sets... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeagent Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I would recommend Halfords, but Teng are also very good. You could also look at Britool, and Stahlwillie... Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzaz Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Had a look at Teng tools...again no 12pointed 1/4"drive sockets will look at the others... looks like craftsman is the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
