Tool set/socket set advice

Dude, they are CR-V.

So? Just because they are made from CR-V Doesn't mean they will be any good. Don't forget things like the ratchet heads won't be and that will be what fails and i can almost bet for that money, your nice german 3 year guarantee does not cover moving parts. Even the halfords one doesn't (although lucky for us, most halfords staff are too stupid to realise this.

You do only get what you pay for. Why do you think every mechanic uses snap on or blue point or similar? A snap on set like your £40 Aldi set would cost 5 times that for a reason. Its well built, very fine ratchets (makes more of a difference than you might think!) and if it does break, its all replaced.
Ive got a snap on flex head ratchet thats older than me and the head has just started to cause issues. This is being replaced for me next time i bump into the local snap on man no quibbles. Cant argue that service!
