hi everyone

does anyone know where i can get a decent socket set from?? i was trying to take the starter motor mains lead of a little n re fiesta

13mm was slightly to big and sliped 12mm to small wouldnt tap on ithe

and even the metric size wouldnt fit 1/2 i think it was so i stressing why the hell put a nut on there when you cant get a standard 13mm t fit it lol any ideas???

p.s doesnt matter about gettin the nut off now as i snapped it lol so have the job also of finding a new starter motor lucky me

thanx dav

Depends what you call decent, and how much you want to pay? Best bet is either machine mart, or your local motor factors.

I've had one of their sets for about 6 years and haven't broken any of it yet, with regular heavy abuse.

I hate cheap-n-nasty tools!

I managed to break the 13mm spanner in mine :( but yes, 3rd'd great tools, the number of jobs I did before I broke it I can't even count.

In fact, I might go and see about getting that replaced as they have a lifetime waranty.

Yes, they do, so there should be no questions.

I broke a 3/8 drive Torx bit. I took it back and they refunded me without question as they had no more in stock to exchange.

They're worth buying just for that.
