    With Christmas just around the corner, trade party hats for the screwdriver sets from the insides of Christmas crackers.

    I'm looking into buying an extendable breaker bar just so I could replace the + one with the 4 socket sizes for changing the spare wheel, as well as buying a decent small floor jack for inside the back. I went to look at one yesterday, and it was a 2.25t professional one, but it was a bit pricey at 120. One for around the 40 - 50 mark should do well, since this will only be used rarely, or in the case I get a new set of rims which is highly unlikely.

    If they have any, Ryobi or Metabo.

    Id look for the highest torque within your budget. 400Nm or above will handle all but the most severe of jobs.

    With most tools, look after them and you wont have any probs.

    I have Halfolds, Draper, Sealey and a few Us Pro.

    Only thing i've rn of mine are a few sockets.

    When i worked at the bodyshop, all his tools where Snap-on. Broke loads of them, as they arnt looked after and i found most where a bit cheaply made.
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce

    Went to the tool store again today (for 3 consecutive days) and the only thing I got was a small wire brush, as I'm gonna paint the engine bay, intake, and block (with a paint brush and some Hammerite paint) and I saw that they had a 36" monkey wrench. I just gotta ask, for what fucking reason will you need a 36" monkey wrench? They even had a 48" one. I mean, it's the same size as a small child and weighs more than one.
