    No code required? "Ratchetarse"

    • +5

      1/2"ARSE maybe lol?

      • +7

        A simple "tightarse" works well here.

  • It says on the ad "Be quick, only 300 units available!" when there are actually 400.

    • Also look at the price in the description ($99). I'm guessing they copy/pasted from an old group deal.

  • +1

    Also available on SCA webpage TA. Same price. Link

    Also says 503 in stock.

    • Cheers. May be a good opportunity to use the $50 eBay vouchers though?

      • And cashback with eBay :)

  • Cheap s**t or half decent for the money?

    • Stanley stuff is half decent ie. streets ahead of the SCA & ToolPro branded crud but not quite as good as genuine Sidchrome, Kincrome, KC etc… IMO of course plus it all depends on what you'll be using it for and how often too.

      • Ive got a few toolpro items and find them quite decent and well made. On par with my Stanley stuff.

        • Fair enough. My small ToolPro set only gets used for those messy, dirty non-critical jobs when I don't want to mess up my nice Sidchrome set :) Bought a few of those little, crazy priced K-Mart sets earlier in the year for the same reason. Maybe there are different grades of ToolPro but the stuff I own isn't much better than the K-Mart stuff TBH.

    • Stanley I would say is of better quality. Will suit most home jobs fine. Have had a set for a few years now and still all good. I also have some SCA & ToolPro socket sets and I find they are good and they are always on sale.

    • Doesn't matter… lifetime warranty.

      • +3

        Well it kinda does matter. Better quality tools usually have better tolerances and dont wear as easily as the cheaper stuff which means you wont end up with rounded bolt heads or mashed screws heads as much. The lifetime warranty is great but only covers the tools themselves, not the damage done to the screws, bolts, nuts etc. you're using them on and in a lot of applications (eg. automotive) that's absolutely critical! No problem unscrewing computer cases with a cheap ToolPro screwdriver but you wouldn't want to rebuild an engine with ToolPro tools. Probably OK with Stanley stuff though!

        • +1

          Valid point, I've always exercised very strong caution on any stuck bolts (ie, if I see hint of slip I'll reassess rather than just banging on with what I have in hand) and have spent a lot of money on 'important' tools such as torque wrenches and the like but for 'consumables' like sockets I'm pretty easy going. I do prefer the 'hex' style sockets rather than the multi point for this reason tho.

        • +2

          @dewy: Too right… and ironically slipping tools on a bolt heat usually only happens just when you're finishing off a critical project after hours and on a day before a Public Holiday ;) Infuriating to say the least!

          @SteveAndBelle: I won't ask why you know if you don't ask why I can confirm ;)

    • Thanks for your input guys, might just pull the trigger.

  • "Be quick, only 300 units available!" (from the eBay description)

    "DEAL IS ON - 65 bought, 335 left"

    Good math! :)

    Not a bad starter set for the price though..

  • There seems to be over 500 at SuperCheap for the same price, might have to add postage cost, unless you pickup

  • @SteveAndBelle:

    What ever happened to the "Metrinch" sockets, that look like a torx socket? They supposedly drive on the flats of the bolt head, making it almost impossible to damage the heads. They were popular a decade ago, were they just a gimmick?

    Example of what I'm talking about:

    • +1

      Yeah, not sure Russ. Whenever I've had to tackle a stubborn or rounded bolt head I've never had access to a set of Metrinch and have figured it out another way. Maybe someone else can chime in with their experience?

    • +1

      You can still get them, I bought the socket set and spanners 26 years ago :) Still as good as new and tough as anything.
