    I'm after some Allen t bar's. Suggestions. I can get Snap on for £55 Plus vat. I know there are cheaper but think of the warrenty7

    Anyone have another other suggestions for T bars? other than Snap on? I like the Facom one's above?

    I've got a Teng set - very happy with them.

    Pit Posse in the USA have a selection of T-bars of all types too, worth a look....

    stunning guys many thanks. I may be going for the Snap on after just talking to the brother in law. For what £65 with vat should get some and like anything is only worth the length of the warranty. And Snap on say lift but it's only 25 years. Should do me

    I have never had a problem with any Lidl or Aldi spanners and I actually use mine.

    I have mainly Halfords Pro stuff and they still look nice and shiny in the tool chest, even the ones that I have actually used. The only thing that hasn’t worn well is the Halfords sticker where I tried and failed to rip it off.

    I have many Draper tools which I have found have been excellent and used for many years. Also not worth overlooking

    After reading all the way through this thread I treated myself to some facom screwdrivers. The ones I had kept getting chipped and shouldered so I'm hoping these will last a little better. I also got a set of Irwin pliers (ordinary, needle nose and snips) as I seem to have misplaced mine somewhere between the house and the garage.

    Can this rivet solid links?, just bought a Tsubaki but it has a solid master link, so my DID type tool is all but useless :(
