perfect for the weekend mechanic, bought mine yesterday, seem to be flying off the shelves. hell of a lot of kit for £50! only thing I will say is it appears it was packaged by retard americans who dont understand imperial lol, I got 2x 19mm sockets, no 16mm socket and no 5/8" socket.
tools arent the best but for the money it's amazing.

enjoy!

Exactly! If anything breaks you can just get another one!

Also has imperial sockets as well :)

Did you order it online Mark or from a store? I would take it back and they should replace the parts that are missing.

I'd expect that most US citizens would have a far greater understanding of the imperial system than most UK citizens under the age of around 30, seeing as it's their main system of measurement. Do you mean metric? I could understand them having a lack of knowledge regarding that, seeing as they don't use it as much as we do.

Look at some of the presidents they have had and the fact they still use imperial so maybe some of the statement could be true, back on track my mate has just got this tool set and it is great VFM.
Now pass me my 96/128 th's spanner in metric please.

P.S I am only joking about the americans, now supa size my Gatorade

im only joking about the americans i dont have anythig against them lol.
I'm not taking it back again because it's my 2nd one already because the first one was a return and had loads of bits missing.... useless.
Oh well! Missing one or two sockets I can live with, I only really bought it for the chest anyway, the tools are a bonus :)
But it's amazing sat in the corner of my garage, so much easier to find the tools I need now, well recommended.

I realy don't rate that kit, a friend of mine bought it when he got his mini.

The screwdrivers heads got damaged straight away, ratchets can't hold any torque and just break, hes only got the little one left.
And the sockets don't fit nuts/bolts properly and have rounded a few. I advise people not to get this and spend the extra money and get decent tools.

Also very annoying is that not all sockets fit in the ratchets so you have to constantly change ratchets for diferent size sockets. Oh just remembered the screwdriver that can take all the different little bits can be bought in tesco for 99p.

I wouldn't know, I've not met enough of them to say that most of them are! Have you? Or have you just met a small percentage of them? Or, worse still, are you only talking about ones off the tellybox or t'interweb that you've never even met? :)
