I'm after a socket set, must have all the bits in I'll need for working on my car. Torx etc.

Many thanks

If only! I can't justify spending that kind of money on a set.

I've seen some guys with "cheaper" sets at the nano. I was hoping one of them would point me in the right direction!

Thanks though Steve.

I've just bought the 150 piece set from Halfords, reduced down to £100 and I got a further £10 off with a voucher code easily found online.

Must say, even though it's probably not the quality of Snap-on or similar, with a lifetime warranty you can't go too far wrong!

Well worth it if you can stretch to £90!

A basic kit for not a lot of money...

Basic set, but you can always buy the odd bit and pieces individually to add to it as you see fit...

As in a 36mm socket for the filter

+1 for the Halfords sets. After having gone through countless sockets and ratchets I invested in a Halfords pro set around 12 years ago. So far in all that time only 1 socket is missing from the set and that's one that my brother lost when he borrowed it! Really nice quality, easily a match for my mate's snap-on set.

Ive had a Hilka set for many years and must admit its a great bit of kit. Very under rated, used on many, many cars and at that price your not worrying if you lose the odd socket in a hurry to get out of the rain lol!

Nothing wrong with Hilka & It's nice to see that 15mm & 18mm sockets are included in this set too !

Common sizes on the 75/ZT.

Unfortunately, this set doesn't include Torx.
