Aldi and lidl

[s and b]

£47 sounds ok so aldi are cheaper but the plating on them might be scrimped
i would be supplementing with individual ones too though as often these boxed set spanners have the wrong angle on them when you need to give it some
i like britool ones

That reminds me I must go to halfords and replace 5-6 missing sockets out my set . at least 2 of which are in the engine bay of my previous Fiat Coupe lol.

The Halfords set looks good.
Picked up a set form Aldi earlier, looks identical box and selection, but not as shiny. Great price and set for serious DIY, may look scruffy quickly if used professionally, but still a bargain.

[Ziggy122]

Ive got the same ratchets that are in the kits
For the price when I brought them it was worth it

Only complaints is the screws came loose and allowed the direction switch to stick in middle sometimes

Tighten the screws and ull be fine

Cant vouch for anything else

If you aren't planning on welding bodywork an arc welder is a useful tool, my wife bought me one when I had my Panda and complained about it needing welding. I struggled with my attempts at bodywork but it's paid for itself many times over when used to weld nuts onto broken bolts, allowing me to remove them and bodging together tools out of scrap.

Or burning rusted screw heads off and setting fire to the garage

Could it be used to weld a mount back onto a backbox?

Don't really think they'd work given the shape of the mount and its location. Ideally needs repaired or the whole backbox replaced.

Depends on how good you are and what rods your using and how good the metal it

Some car bits coming up.


Dashcam might be worth a punt, £40 and a 3 year grunty (KEEP the receipt!)


The pressure washer's not bad value. Mine's 2 years old & just started leaking from the gun. Contacted the repair company, emailed a copy of the receipt and they're putting a new gun in the post!

 

[gadge]

Lol.......... Carbon seat covers

 

[ChrisUK]

Hmm already got a dashcam but I might give that a go and replace my current one and put that facing backwards

Might want to hold off buying this, all's not quite as it seems.
Records in AVI & according to the manual, you get a meagre 2hrs' recording time on a 32gig card
