I find a large lump hammer is a must for work on a Landrover. Mr. Green

Got a mix of Teng spanners and Halford stuff. Slowly building my toolbox (have now got a nice three stack box going!) Always need new tools Smile Very Happy

Having owned my Teng spanners for the last two years, I've only just found out about the interlocking ability of the trays!! Everyday's a school day Bow down

But don't pay more than half price; they have very regular sales, AND keep the receipt.

There's a lifetime warranty, but you must produce the receipt.

My Halfords never asked for receipt when I took back a big breaker bar I snapped the head off, the young lady merely said I wont ask what you were doing with it Laughing

Plusgas is another must. Had loads of seized bolts on my motorbike, and some stubborn ones on my Ssangyong. A good drenching in PlusGas over a few days and them come off nicely.

Love my Dremel too!!

plus 1 on the halfords pro sets

also had to buy a set of irwin sockets , they were life savers as it seemed the only thing to work getting the air tank off , oh and a set of mole grips Thumbs Up

Agreed on plusgas, incredibly useful. The 'SuperCrack' they sell in ECP is pretty good too, very effective at cleaning up the thread.

A long handle half-inch wratchet makes life lots easier, as does a tin of deep impact sockets: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Draper-Expert-D...0776670398

For anyone just putting a tool kit together, this isn't a bad starting point, separately £859, offer at £500 or £400 with the trade card.
