I had a set of these, and they weren't very good quality. If, like me, you're a part-time mechanic, keeps your eyes peeled for a set from either Aldi or Lidl - they are substantially better.

I just bought 2 individuals from Halfords, a 13mm and a 10mm. They're the only ones I seem to use.

Aldi have a 5 piece set in this weeks leaflet - £9.99 here.
There's already a load of DIY/car related gear in Aldi today, never mind what's coming next week. Definitely worthy of a mooch around

I have a set made by "Gearwrench" They are similar in construction to conventional combination wrenches rather than the fabricated type shown. Mine also have hinged heads which improve access. They are probably the handiest tools I own, but I still use my normal combination wrenches as well.
Here's an Amazon link. Canadian pricing but you get the idea.
