Clarke are okay if using occassionally, other tools are fine but not their mechanics budget range as the tools are very cheap. I have bought their small kits to give away with our machines, a sweetener to keep the workshop staff happy when our own engineers are installing abroad. All they see is a bright red toolbox and shiny tools! Clarke's quality tools are much better and I have bought these on and off. Over the years I have bought Kamasa, Britool, Snap-On and Halfords tools. I have bought a decent toolkit and replaced them gradually with quality ones for common jobs. Hard to advise as cost is the key and you get what you pay for.
