Snap On the best, but really only worth it if using it every day if your a mechanic.

Teng Tools. Good enough for a home garage.

For most normal folk the likes of Clark or Halfords own brand will do the job nicely without breaking the bank.

Perfect now. Just changed the front wheel bearings but I was sent the wrong dust seal for the right hand side so just need to get that fitted and it will be on the market to make way for my new Yamaha! :freebird

I used to be a technician at John R Weirs (Mercedes) and was more than happy to service Mercs with Halfords Professional series tools.
