Suggestions For a Socket Set?

[harveym3]

I treated myself to a Halfords one when i was 17 and im now 37 and i still use 90% of it .

The banjo bolt (if you have one), the front strut pinch bolt, steering wheel bolt, brake caliper carrier bolts and some in the door lock to name a few.

And the bolts for the seats :) 10mm triple square

I think the Halfords sets look like better value for money than they actually are. Lots of imperial sizes you'll likely never use, and a lot of the sockets are 12 sided which are crap. Also I have found that it's missing a few sizes in spanners/deep sockets which i've had to buy after.

If I could do it again i'd buy them separate:
- decent 3/8 ratchet
- 6 sided socket set
- 6 sided deep socket set
- spanner set
- ratchet extension
- 1/2 breaker bar
- torx screw driver set
- hex socket set

Not sure if i've forgotten anything important but that should do a lot of jobs?

Thanks for the replies/suggestions. ^Yep I'm thinking of going down the route of buying smaller sets as and when I need them. I Found a 200+ piece mechanics set on ebay which was reasonably priced thinking it would cover most things but it didn't even have the correct sized torx head I needed for the cam follower lol. I guess the bigger the set you buy the more chance you have that you won't be using a lot of it.

You won't get the rear calipers off without a 14mm triple square :)
