Stanley 1/4 drive socket set.

Post by joeboy »

Ive always like stanley stuff, its very good quality but not so bad on price. Ive had some of my stanley tools for over 20 years and there still spot on.
Anyway i found this and had to have one, it came today and as i thought its spot on, the ratchet is worth the money alone.

works out 11 quid odd with postage but a very good service they even text your mobile and tell you its on its way, you can text back to change the delivery date if you wish.

trouble is the bolts can be inferior esp on jap bikes and flat drive work on the sides so if a bolts rounded they'll still undo them :nod:

If its not moving or it feels like its going to round I find a good chisel on the edge will start them turning nicely.. :D
