Just general hand tools, thought about looking for a decent battery drill and wouldnt mind an impact wrench if reasonable price as its not essential

Aye mechanic hand tools, have plenty stuff at home and offshore provoded by company but like having a small selection of my own stuff offshore in a small bag for taking to jobs and stuff. General tools ie pliers, allen keys, shifters, screwdrivers etc.
Not going to the expense of snap on

For the money you can't beat Halfords stuff, Especially if it's on offer or you have a trade card.
75% of my hand tools are Halfords and they've never let me down, I use them every week working on my own car and other cars I work on.

Facom and bahco seem to be decent and not too overpriced. Got a few bahco things, shifters, pliers etc.
Use halfords pro sockets and spanners at home, havent used any of their other stuff though but cant fault what I have used
