    Tool Advice, website links needed

    I'm in the market for either a good tool chest or more to the point
    1/4" drive ratchet and comprehensive bit, torx, allen and socket set metric and imperial, 1/2" torque wrench with adapter.
    Full set of combo / ring spaners imperial and metric and some deep sockets.
    Cant afford snap on but need nearest possible quality. Sick of cheap(ones that once had good reputations) damaging parts.
    I have a fair bit of 1/2 " old britool stuff which dad gave me and they are great but need to fill in the gaps in my armery.
    Anybody recomend some good suppliers other than machine mart, clarke and deemom tweeks they don't have what i'm after.
    Thanks

    Other than the odd snap on badge I got a fair chunk of blue point gear.
    Tbh I ain't used much of it in anger,
    But it looks good in the tool chest ;)

    blue point do a complete set, they are fantastic, your local snap on dealer will sell them for about £130ish, well worth it. If not halfords do a similar set, their tools are not that bad. Like with anything, you get what you pay for.

    FYI if you do go for halfords life time guarantee range, the ratchet spanners are pretty week and you will need the receipt to get a replacement, something that I neglected to keep. The rest of the kit is pretty good though.
