Bought mine couple of years back, paid 33% of full price, think it was around £27 ish from memory.

Good set, and pretty complete.

Million times better that the blue Clarke ones, and better value for money than the better Clarke ones.


But not in the same league!

I'm rapidly going off Clarke Pro tools, having recently split 2 sockets.  OK, MM replaced them without quibble (once I found the receipt no ;D) over the phone, but that didn't smooth the skinned knuckles  >:(

The Clarke ones don't make sense to me.  On the upside, they do come in a pretty box ;D

I've seen similar looking on boot fayres at Tatton etc but couldn't justify buying them as they're often imperial sizes  ;D  ;D

Yep, the clarke ones are far superior with a ratchetless setup on them.

I'll check mine next time I see my mate (who I long term loaned them to), see what sizes it had.  I know it was missing some key sizes, can't remember which...
