Hi, i,m in the market for a new socket set and like the look of this set,
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Teng-Tool-...item336b68066f
Just fancy a quality set but can,t justify Snap On prices. Anyone used Teng and would you reccomend?

 

halfords pro 150 pc 97.50 on trade, life time warranty, had 2 sets for 7 years on commercials, spot on.

 

My wifee bought me a quarter drive set about 6 years ago still going strong i also use teng ratchet spanners you wont go far wrong mate but that set advertised for £212 does semm a bit pricy though !

 

I have a teng tool Chest and a few bits, very good IMO. They don't get used day in day out but never had an issue. For us mortals who can't afford snap on id say teng is a close runner up. You can't mistake teng tool chest with those big yellow eyes not just your plain old red box.

i got a mini teng set, good stuff!

 

Cheers guy,s. I,ve had a Draper Expert set for about 15 years but after using some Snap On gear fancy something better so i think i,ll buy the Teng set just need to see if i can get it cheaper elsewhere..

 

For that money I'd go for facom socket sets, their ratchets are nice and fine. The 1/2" set is a superb bargain at the moment. I've got lots of tools and do like my snap on stuff but the facom ratchets are good value, I've got their flexi ones too. I'd always prefered them to snap on because the snap on ones were really clunky. Snap on have brought out their 80 series not so long ago which are very fine and I'm swapping over to them now, the long handle flexi head 1/2" is awesome.

Halfords

 

don't waste your money on the likes of teng and snap on when halfords professional range are of equal quality and performance,i have 2 friends who work in the motor trade and they swear by them

 

I have had a teng socket set for 16 years and its still going strong Not used every day but its fixed every car ive ever had

 

Another vote for halfords pro range, i remember being told they are made by britool, if my halfords stuff lasts as long as the britool stuff i was given years ago (originally bought in the 80's) i will be happy with that

 

Had Halfords Pro Sets for years, never let me down, and I am told they replace broken ones no troubles.

 

Machine mart do Clarke tools that have a life time warrenty, they also occasionally put out a VAT free shopping voucher. have got quite a number of tools this way. Got another voucher today so will be doing some thinking this next week as to what i want.

 

I've always used Britool spanners and Beta sockets:
