Just to be clear - I have no association with Teng Tools or Toolshack, but this looks like exceptional value to me for someone who wants to start an automotive tool collection:

Socket set, spanner set and screwdriver set, all with Teng Tools quality and guarantee.

Typical, spent the last year gathering tools so I now have a decent collection, I would have had this in a heartbeat.
Speed Blue SL 1000 Falco
Harley Davidson....the most efficient way to turn petrol into noise without the embarrassing by-product of horsepower..

I bought a set a couple of months ago from Bradford bolt and nut.
The cost was 120 including Vat.
The spanners are ok but don't have a nice finish on them

Tolerance will be our undoing.

Yes, likewise. I really can't justify such a purchase, even to myself, but if someone can benefit then fill yer boots. Only unril midnight tonight, though.

We use Teng stuff at work. Good and solid. Prefer the finish and the overall 'feel' of Halfrauds Pro/Advanced tools though.. And I'm yet to break any!

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

I LOVE my Halfords professional spanners - I'll never part with them even though I don't really use them any more!
The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.

I lucked onto bahco tools a while ago
Very impressed
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
