I am looking a to upgrade my set of tools, brand new set of sockets, spanners, ratchet spanners ect.
I am looking at getting some "Draper" stuff as I have heard they are pretty good for the price.
I believe I need "AF" instead of "Metric" for the minis, but not 100% sure on this.

Also, any other tools worth getting to add to the collection?

I had to join the AA the other week, cost me £112 for the relay package as I thought I would need recovery, but didnt. So I should get a set of spanners/sockets in AF and maybe everything else metric?
I hate AF because I was never any good with all the 7/16, 9/16 ect, takes me a while to work out what is what.
