I had that teng set an their shit! Try the lad in the Snap On van for these, their a serious set. I bought 2 sets of them. Was the only pic i could find, their on sale for €180 reduced from €450 or something.

any links people??? i need some tools myself!!

Teng all the way, i have a set of Teng tool 1/2" and 3/8" since 1999 and still have them, never had any problems with them. Their screwdrivers are legend too.

Snap on are great tools, but vastly overpriced imo. Lifetime guarantee doesn't cover you for people with sticky fingers so better off going for the cheaper Teng option i reckon.

I don't get peoples opinions on teng, where is the rubbish about rounding bolts etc coming from? Not from genuine Teng or from anyone competent in using them.

I got my first Teng box over 10 years ago and I still have it and the vast majority of the tools in it now. The only time I ever broke a Teng tool was when i wasn't using or treating it properly.
I admit that they have one line of ratchets that's are prone to damage if they are dropped but all the others have no issues. 2 years ago now I bought over 5 grand worth of Teng hand tools and some Teng specialist tools and still have no issue. I've never had reason to consider any other brand.

While there is no denying they are good tools, I find some mechanics seem to think of snap on as a status symbol of some sort.
