Is this a OK set of spanners / sockets for my Mechano Set?

Hello

I have a variety of spanners in my tool chest. However already since owning my defender I've started unbolting and bolting stuff on it... off it... Its great !!

will this suit my defender as I have a Birthday coming up and it beats socks !!

I ended up getting one of these:

Costs a bit more but comes with so much! Been very useful so far and the tool quality is top notch.

The Halfords torque wrenches are worth looking at

They generally get good reviews like their professional tools and I think they are rebadged but can't remember the supposed make off hand.

If you are looking for a torque wrench I'd recommend a 'Norbar' - supporting British engineering and with a history going back to the Spitfire.

Norbar - that's the one.

see 5th review down which suggests the Halfords are Norbar,.. http://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/too...nch-8-60nm

The handle on the Halfords torque wrench looks very like my Sykes Pickavant wrench

There also the same as some nor bar wrenches! I believe Norbar make them for halfords and Sykes Pickavant.

Hi Stacey,

I bought the 170 for £106 in August and have been very impressed with the set and have used pretty much everything over the past few months adding to the Landy.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Steve
