This topic has been covered many times.

Have you tried searching at all?

Buy a set of metric combination spanners and a decent metric socket set. If you break any replace the individual ones with a better quality as you need them. Get imperial spanners from car boot sales as you will not need them so often.





yours, Pete

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

Try and blag a Halfords trade card then buy their professional tools. Not had a problem with them since I bought a set. So much better than just getting odd bits of crap here and there.

Any hows,
decent socket set
breaker bar
If possible some nice ratchet spanners
_Good_ screw drivers, not cheapo shite (There are times when bit sets just don't do the job).
Torque wrench (probably 1 low range one higher range to cover it).
Plus lots of other bits
