Ive finally learnt that buying cheap tools is a false economy. That said, i dont believe you need to spend a complete fortune on Snap On to get quality.
Ive just got myself a Halfords top box where i had a wee cantilever box before.
Have had a Halfords Pro 150piece socket/ spanner set for a few years now - brilliant, would be lost without it.
CK screwdrivers - good
Irwin vice grips - just ok
CK pliers - good
B&Q long nose pliers - shite
Stanley BIG screwdriver - good (This replaced my da's "big red screwdriver" which i broke. Felt awful having to tell him id broke it, it was like part of the family)
Various hammers, spanners, screwdrivers, pliers, vice grips of my da's. They have lasted probably since my granda's time so they are decent quality.
My da's old Draper 1/2" socket set - good, lasted for years. Ratchet still works perfectly.
My da's old Kamasa 1/2" socket set - as above
Challenge Extreme (Argos) ratchet spanners - fcuking useless
Lidl drill bit set - fcuking useless, be better drilling with my finger
