So, planning on getting tools off the family / Mrs for Xmas so need some recommendations.
Personally I think a 2-3 Ton super low entry jack is a must (for the Nissan that is practically on the floor) and future cars e.g. the 306/205 if they get lowered a lot. My old 2 ton normal halfords jack has served me well but is getting old.
Then I'm a bit confused, do I get a big chest with minimal tools or go for something like a Halfords Advanced spanner/socket set?
Here's some ideas I'm playing with...
Halfords Advanced Professional 200 Piece Socket and Ratchet Spanner Set (£150 reduced from £300).

Phaze 275 Piece Tool Chest (£80 reduced from £120)

2 Ton Low Entry Jack (£40)

I have Halfords Trade card but don't think it's going to be much cheaper (if at all) to buy the Advanced kit.
Any other recommendations?
