Halfords advance tools are good and not too expensive and have life time guarantee, they also have some good discounts sometimes.

I've a set of Vapormatic sockets think up to 60mm, very good the odd time used, similar set of spanners off ebay. Recently got an account with Sealy so can check there too.

we used to have a chap come around in a white van he was from the north west he used to sell Bergen spanners can't say I found anything wrong with them he would always do a deal if you put a bundle together but I have not seen him for a couple of years

We used to get a similar guy from Blackpool area, fast talking wouldn't stop, gave packs of socks instead of change

I bought all these, I got the spanners first and then the sockets and torque multiplier a year or two later, they don't be used to often but when they do they impress me every time, no more faffing around with the wrong tool for the job

Actually saw their stuff in a store at the weekend. Brutal prices though. The jumbo spanner set was £180 if I remember.

The torque multiplier look identical to the laser one. Can be had for less than £80 and is a fantastic tool for the money. Couple it with a set of 1" Bergen (us pro maybe) sockets which are the right length for the torque multiplier and not many wheel nuts are going to get in your way.

Bought 32-50 set bergen/us pro off amazon, they were cheaper than a single draper spanner, expected them to be rubbish. Have had bars on the end of them and utter abuse and failed to snap or damage any of them. Also bought thier pry bars and very happy for the money, not broke one yet
