Lidl sockets

Nekarsulm

Was in Lidl earlier, and they have sets of sockets for sale at 9.99
They come in half inch and three eights drive, and at that price are worth a punt to leave in the car boot. .
The socket wall is pleasingly thin, which in my book is an indication of quality steel. (Other cheepo tool makers often make sockets with such a thick wall, they won't fit nuts in tight spots)

Have fully tested(abused) the s&k powerfix ones over the last 4 years and not a bother on them.

I have had the powerfix S&K full set for over two years. It has survived everything I have thrown at it, even using the 1/2 inch ratchet as a hammer! I also drove the car over the 3/8 inch ratchet...not a scratch!

Bought a set, twenty piece. All the sockets are 3/8 drive, and there are two adaptors to allow you use 1/2 and 1/4 drive ratchets on them. Plus three extensions.
Sockets from 6mm to 20mm inclusive. Usefull holders for the sockets.
The 1/2 extension if bought from Gedore, Dowidat or Hazett would cost more than the entire set....

I've a Lidl socket set and it's brilliant, I've been battering it and not a single problem with it. I just got a Halfords socket set but I will continue to use the Lidl one because it has 1/2 inch 6 point sockets instead of the 12 point sockets in the Halfords set
