Title: Which toolkit / socket set?
Post by: George on January 13, 2012, 10:47:51 am

I'm after a new toolkit / socket set for working on the golf. Ideally I want a set with 1/2" and 1/4" sockets and ratchets, extensions, screw driver bits, torx bits and ideally a ratchet screwdriver. It's really just for fiddling in the engine bay and interior.

Any suggestions on kits?

Thanks  :happy2:

Halfords Professional 150 piece....£99.99....if its gone back up in price wait a while and it will be back to £99.99 again soon. It is usually on sale at £199 but they never sell any at that price ! Make sure you check all the sockets and spanners for sizing as several sets get two of the same as they are put together in the box by hand.

As above, the Halfords Pro 150 Piece is excellent. 

I narrowly missed one of the £99 events so they were selling the set for £199 ... or buy the same set and a halfords pro screwdriver set as a package for £110  :stupid:

I really like the look of this kit but I'm not sure if it comes with enough Torx bits  :confused:
