Mind you, that gold anti sieze stuff is a good friend to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly used at home to work on the car and odd jobs. I want something that's gonna last me years. I know kincrome and sidchrome have a good name, but I hear its hard to get any warranty stuff from them. I've been told repco make a good tool, and you can just walk in and swap the tool over if anything wrong happens. I also went into total tools, and they have there own range, which looked good, and the guy was saying their quality was a s good as kincrome and sidchrome. There warranty was the same as repcos one too.. I don't mind paying for good quality tools, but Snap-on prices are amazing lol.. Right now I'm after a good socket set. saw a 64 piece sidchrome set on ebay for $200 with free shipping which I thought was a good price, for what you get.So basically what have you used that has stood the test of time and you'd recommend?Also while I'm here, what socket/bit do I need to get to the last spark plug all the way in the back?Cheers Mike.

Yep.I bought a TTI set.Had the big toolbox and all the tools included.Cant remember what I paid, but was heaps cheaper than sidchrome or Snap on etc.For a amateur mechanic its been great.
