I've bought a few new Draper sockets recently (hub nuts, etc) and they're not a patch on my ancient Draper ones.

Metal and plastic and shit was definitely harder in the past; closer to the iron age, I suppose!

But the new Halfords stuff is markedly improved; whan they first intro'd their own-brand stuff it was like those chocolate tools you got as a kid.

Yeh, mines just over 12years old too, what a coincidence...



Hang on.....

As for mole grips, just get a nice set from Halfords.

I'm with Ian about the punches and drifts - something I could do with stocking up on now I don't have access to a workshop.

Dont forget a good set of screw drivers!

I have the 150piece prof halfrauds kit as well and it has done well over the past 4 years, changing clutches, suspension, exhausts, engine swaps and the rest nothing has broken and i suprisingly have all the bits in the kit.

I have always wanted a craftsman kit but they dont sell them over here
