Recommendations for tool kit.

Never had a problem with the halfords pro apart from the box was a bit flimsy and one 1/2 to 1/4 drive adaptor snapped which was replace without question but it had an obvious imperfection inside and the other one has stood up to the task.

Had a PM from a good guy who is going to set me up with this Sealey kit at Trade price plus a few beers reward.

I'm sure the tools that come with it may not be Top of the Sealey range but a good starter kit and plenty left in my budget to add to.

Get the 150 Quid's halfords 200 piece set. Wait until boxing day out should pick one up for 120 ish.

Buy the 80 quid halfords tool box or if you can wait and spend a bit more in the future maybe 150? Put the rest into the other stuff you need

I went for seperate 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 sets, reduces the amount of tools one carries around (mine are stored in the shed at the bottom of the garden and I work either at the front of the house, work, my dads or the scrapy). I've also got a set of ring spanners and ratchet spanners as well as lots of other stuff.

Sealey Professional is their top brand
Siegen Tools is their lower quality/everyday brand

Correct mate
was told the tools that are supplied with the cabinet are indeed the Siegen but getting them at a cost of not much more than the Cabinet itself
And will give me something to build to with plenty left in my budget for Halfords Pro items in Sale...

I've always had Bergen tools - they've been fantastic.
No idea where they rate with the professionals, but a 19mm socket of theirs took all 20 stone of me on a scaffold bar. Enough of a test in my book!
