I use the britool expert ones but also have a set of Haforfs expert ones which are still going strong. The Britool 24mm ratchet spanner gets a lot of work
I admit, I have a workshop tool addiction :-)

Thanks for the tip i ordered a set last night
Ordered a set of these as well which I've just opened and and am quite pleased with them. Not used them yet will hopefully be a while till I need to but the old worn mismatch don't quite fit or open/close the wrong way to what you want ones in a drawer I've got were bloody hopeless when I've tried using them on various things this summer
(Everything broke down this year as you can see on the what did you work on today thread)

What sort of mixer?
If a Panmixer get a new one, the gearboxes can wear quite quickly and cost over half the new cost of the whole thing.

Think he means a Kenwood!getting ready for new series of Bake-off!
A Kenwood?! I ain't made of money!
Ahem...I meant a petrol or electric Cement mixer. Which could also double for Bake Off

A Belle electric 2nd hand usually bomb proof, but some look like a bomb has gone off in the drum,

Drum condition is all with a second hand small mixer, motors and belts can be replaced if necessary.

Ordered this in March and thought it had been forgotten about or missed on the order, and I kind of forgot about it but hey ho today it arrived.
Hopefully not used too much but worth gold if your in a fix.

Sons birthday next week and he asked for a socket set after helping me fix stuff all this summer. It's only his third birthday so got him this little set off ebay to put in his toolbox (yes he has a toolbox of his own full of Whitworth spanners and mismatched screwdrivers)
Was only £11 quite impressed with it. There was a bigger set that came with with long sockets and lots of different extensions for a few extra £ should have got him that but had already bought this when I saw that one
think I'll get the bigger set for myself

Yes, Spladings set, good selection of metric and imperial sizes. Probably not highest quality but will do my needs, pleased to see it was made in Japan rather than China though.

Used to be some unusual sizes in them like the fine metric threads on bale spikes and the like. Very handy.

It's the little things.
Never been a fan of these bitholders with storage but having a complete set of screwdrivers in the tractor seems a little awkward so hey. "Made in Germany", which made me smile.

He's 3 and using a socket set ? I was still eating playdoh and pushing lego up my nose at 3!Sons birthday next week and he asked for a socket set after helping me fix stuff all this summer.

3?! Still doing it now!
I don't know about using it but the toolbox I made up out of old misfit spanners and screwdrivers has been one of his favourite things he's had. He wanted the socket set to go in his toolbox so thought it was much better than more plastic junk. He's spent a lot of time with me fixing things this summer (have a look at the what you working in today thread lots of stuff broke down) and has played a lot with his tools and not lost any sockets yet so it was a good buy.
He's fixing his baler right now not sure why he is filing the drawbar though.

My lads 6 and been the same for a few years, he did come to grief last year when he took the bolts out the front axle of his battery John deere and set off with it, I got the call for recovery, there was a trail of wheels, axles and pins from the shed to the garden
