Good idea StMarks. Although after looking at the set it has a clear top and bottom. The only people to use this will be me and my dad and somehow he'll prob end up saying its his anyway as he has done with my other tools . I suppose if it's all staying inside his house I guess he can claim itStMarks wrote:Excellent choice RossgoRossgo wrote:.... ordered this
Halfords Advanced 200 piece socket and ratchet set in black. Too much for me to use really but i wanted all situations covered! Plus at that price there was no point in saving a few quid may as well get the full lot
The choice of black finish may also help you avoid them being "mistaken" as belonging to someone else.
Fwiw I would strongly suggest that one of the first things you do to your set, is to clearly mark the "Lid" on the opening face. -Whilst I realise you're not an incompetent old fool like me, and would therefore not frequently open it upside down, it will nontheless make it quicker & easier for you to always place it "lid up" prior to opening it.
Some paint, or even Duct-Tape will take far less time to apply than scrabbling round looking for dozens of 1/4 drive sockets that have rolled for improbable distances in all directions. Let alone the mind numbing task of replacing them all in their correct order.
It looks and feels good quality. Also it was brand spankers still inside it's box, last one in the shop! The lady who I talked to said she didnt think they had a black limited edition ones but knew what i was talking about as shes been thinking of getting it herself but she said she will have a look in stores. She was searching as she knew she still had a few of the standard sets, I said if you dont have one can you order it and she said of course! Anyway a couple minutes later she said she found it last one!!
I've already used it. My tap on my sink has been wobbling for a while and it's really tricky to get into the area. Really i need a washer to pack out the thread so i can nip up the nut easier but haven't got any so had to use my 13mm socket and also a wobble extension so i could flex it about a bit. I'll look at getting a fat washer later so i can do the job properly
Next job is to fit the Translogic QS so this will be out in force!

Loving it in black to be honest
