Of all places, halfords actually do a decent socket set, certainly good enough for the home car enthusiast.

 

My halfords set is about 5 years old and still without a breakage.

 

I believe their PRO set also comes with lifetime warranty.

There are quite a few good sets out there now including the Halfords own. Snap On, Mac if yor feeling flush or a good alternative would be Teng Tools. Iv'e had a socket and screw driver set for nearly 20year and still are in greaat condition fully backed by a life time guarantee. yes they have been used

Yep had mine for about 10 years now. I did break one socket but took it back and they just gave me a new one.

Thanks for the replies guys, halfords have a half price sale on now so will take advantage of the socket sets, just the torque wrenches seem steep £60-80 or is that about the going rate?

Just bought a Halfords 40Nm to 200 torque wrench for £69.00. Very impressed with it for the money.
