Guest DevilsAdvocate Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 You're missing out Roy, some lovely pubs around the docks up NE mate. Bit far to travel, and Chatham's not the same since the RN base was closed. Some of the matlows on shore leave could be quite pleasant chaps once you got to know them.

Kazimodo's just read this and she now wants a 10mm 1/4" drive socket on her engine too. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 These must have come down even further recently then I bought the 120 piece set for about £90 a fair few weeks/months ago now. The 150 piece one was still £150 at the time! Used it a bit and no complaints so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I've had one of these sets for 14 years and its seen some substantial abuse, but not broken anything. Two faults though, the plastic locking tabs on the case become stretched and no longer lock (and finally fall off), and the screws can work loose out of the back of the ratchet heads (just tweak them up with one of the torx bits in the kit). And if you loose sockets (usually the small ones) then Halfrauds do sell them individually for about £2.50 each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
