Euphemism?
What you need is this…
The 2017 advent calendar kit was seriously good and a very useful set. Can be found for about £50.
I’ve just ordered that.
Can we all just stop for a while please?

Anyone on the lookout for a 1/4" socket set could do a lot worse than this
Britool sockets and drivers are very good indeed.
By all accounts the modern Britool stuff is no where near the old stuff. 
Really?
Oh well, scratch that then.
Bit like Elliot Lucas pliers then. Had an old pair that were perfect but they got nicked. Bought a new pair and they’re bang average.

Yeah, apparently so from what I’ve been reading. Enough to put me off. I think their ‘expert’ range is supposed to be decent.
Toptul are a brand I recently heard about and get good reviews - v. similar to Facom, but often the Facom version is cheaper, lol.
Even the Lindstrom stuff now feels not as good as my original made in Sweden stuff. Sigh…

When I was doing rallies back in the late '80s it was Britool and Snap-on that were the go to. Also an American brand that I can’t remember the name of at the minute, Pro-tool or something. May be that they were sold or distributed by the local Morgan garage at the time. Not that Morgans were good for rallying or anything:scream:, just the local agency, McDonald’s in Lanchester, also sold the tools and had a rolling road so after every engine rebuild I ended up there!
