Thankyou matey and exactly that I just buy what works regardless of price yeh I do like to treat myself to a couple of snapon bits but they are just upgrades I’ve bought throughout the years :)
Always more tools to get. One tool I enjoy is the Blue Point bit driver-1/4" ratchet combo (bit driver on one side, 1/4 ratchet on the other and thin as a wrench). Comes in clutch for that stuff with nuts or bolts in places around a corner and in tight spaces. EZ Red makes one too, or they might make it for Blue Point? Also a fan of those Snap On round head ratchets on the yoke that pivots in 3/8" and 1/4", can use them at a driver and a ratchet at lots of angles. Locking extentions so you you don't loose your 10mm or have to wrestle with a tight spark plug hole that wants to keep the spark plug socket.
Man if something doesn’t work, get it the F out of there (the torx easy outs were speaking of). One day you need something that, it’s all you’ve got so you reach in try to use them, they don’t work and your blood pressure goes through the roof along with 270 cuss words. 😂
I started on trucks bought cheap to get me going when it broke bought snap on regret buying there electric impacts total utter crap the smaller the tool the cheaper I go ie sockets etc us pro usually good for that same with torque wrenches they all do the same thing have had a Halfords one since 07 has never failed cal yet, so I buy machine mart torque wrenches get them cal all good and there cheap so have more money to play with
That’s how it should be done buddy but apprentices now just see shiny things on the snapon van and finance and spend spend spend so fair play to you buddy it’s whatever works for us without braking the bank
Good set up, people starting out take note, you can do most jobs with ebay, Amazon tools, you don't need everything Snap On.

Can't go wrong with Halfords Advanced 175/200pc set to start out with, I think personally. If you buy them on Black Friday or on Trade card. 👌🏻

I totally agree with you there’s absolutely no limit to the tools you can buy that’s for sure
Box looks great mate, the colour is mint 👌🏻 although I'm not a mechanic I deffo want to get more sockets next.
Appreciate your kind words matey and as you’ll know from this video brand and price doesn’t matter aslong as it does what you need it too :)
Nice little tour that. Always nice to see uk boxes 👌🏻.

@@TheVWMechanic_official makes me wonder if the RBRT version is better.
I know one of the lads has the rbrt set buddy it might make for a good video putting em against each other
