For £80, it’s cheap enough to have a set under/behind the seat in each pickup/digger/tractor etc. probably wouldn’t stand up to hard every day use but will help get you out of the crap when something goes wrong.

Well the Halfords equivalent is well over £200 so pretty happy, even if I admit I succumbed to peer pressure when Rory wanted 2🤣

Tbh without spending top money a set of sockets is a set of sockets. The only weak link will most likely be the ratchet, if and when it breaks replace with a better one and you're still quids in

They are 6 point aswell so so not going to shred the nuts either

I have had problems in the past with sockets cracking on the side wall and wondered if it's cos of cheap metal. That said. If you apply a bar to the socket what do you expect🤦

Looks the same as the 10 set I had off wish about 6 years ago it was a good set the ½ inch ratchet exploded but it's still going as a spare set missing a few sockets. It has been replaced by a Halfords advanced set now which is soo much nicer

I try and have some tools in each machine/vehicle. It doesn't really matter if they're not the best, they are more of an insurance than anything, getting you out of the mire or adjustments, if its a big job you`ll be doing back at the yard.
Plus we have a saying "you can do a lot with a little, but can do f*** all with f*** all"

I prefer to have 1 really decent tool kit that moves with me. when I worked on farms they did the few tools in each vehicle thing. And I've tried the generic socket set.
But for a few years I've carried a dedicated toolkit. A keter plastic box as it's hard wearing but won't smash the glass in tractors or the likes.
Within the box I have lots of sets wherever possible so that I can spread things out to work yet still quickly and easily see if something is missing. What's more it has space for a few bits of wire some fuses disposable gloves crimp terminals. All stuff that would either be left out or lost at the bottom of a tool set and damaged or lost
