HI

Not sure if this is in the right location, but I am looking to buy a set of sockets and see Lidl have a 92 piece set for €50.

They are Powerfix brand...and seem decent...I need them for auto work.

Have people tried these before and are they any good?

Let me know if you have.

Thanks

No idea if they're made or cheese of anything. Probably of same quality you'd buy in Homebase etc.
Might grab this one....has a few deep sockets that would come in handy for the car.

Hard to tell if the bits there are torx or allen key type

I have a set of those and I use them on motorcycles with no problem at all. A good buy if you're on a budget.

Thanks for the reply. There are a mix of torx and allen key bits (I opened a box in Lidl yesterday.)

I really just want the sockets as I have enough of all the other bits, But the sets always fill up space with these extras.

Think I will go with them anyway....They are probably as good as anything you would get in a motor factors?

Ah, if they're Torx I'll get the aul Hen to pick one up today so.

Got these about 5/6 months ago when they had them last. Have had no problems with them despite giving them mucho hardship. In fact two of the mechanic/fitters in work said they were going to get a set of them, so that can't be bad.
