So you think a trade card is a good idea then?
I may have the means to get one, I'll need to think about it.

I got a set of Bahco sockets from ebay next set up from this for less money and it's good stuff. Look for seller maybank-potter, has some bargains and will do a buy it now if you contact them.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Snap on will replace or repair the tool regardless of how it was damaged most manufacturers only replace because of manufacturing or material defect.

Stripped the teeth of my snap on ratchet trying to get a wheel nut undone took it to the snap on guy he sourced the ratchet service kit and repaired it no muss no fuss

I used to work there part time through my studies and have to say the Halfords gear isnt bad for someone starting out, actually built half the MNR with there tools. only problem i have ever has is breaking the 1/2 - 3/8 adapters and one or two of the torx sockets but i think a few manufacturers have this problem and like mentioned earlier cheap and lifetime guarantee. The rest of my kit is a mixture of bits - a few from machine mart - i have to say there hand tools liek riveter etc arent great but my new stanley one is so buy decent brand stuff if you think you may need it alot. A few important tools i have are the multimeter - get one that beeps for continuity as its a massive help when working alone. Also the laser rivnut tools is budget and the smaller heads have broken but replaced quite easily.
