None who buy their ratchets from somewhere that manufactures them to the CE standard :-)

Snag is their qualitys a bit random, sometimes they're very good, but other times they're dire. e.g I managed to assemble one working bodykit out of all three kits in stock in Norwich.

Tight nuts or screws should be given a tweak *tighter* before undoing. Works beautifully.

Especially good on painted-over woodscrews on the doors in the house, but works for cars too.

if your going to diy your maintainance and repairs dont use cheap tools, but they dont have to be expensive either, cheap spanners tend to slip of nuts and bolts and you could end up rounding the nut and bolt heads, give them all a spray of release oil first, and when your undoing them if they get tight, do them up and start again slowly, repeat if unsure, remember dont over tighten, use torque wrench if unsure, snap the bolts and it can get expensive, dont cut corners it may cost =A3=A3=A3s and could make your vehicle unsafe, try asking around before you attempt any bigger jobs, even down the pub, you,ll get ideas of how difficult the job is , or isant. hope this helps, dj
