me too .......... just read the thread in general chat about halfords tools

Just buy a good decinet sized Halfrods tool kit saying you won't use say 1/2 inch bolts (cars french remember so its all metric) isn't applicable as rusted nuts etc means other sized sockets can somtimes fit better.

a decent socket set (halfords are pretty good, dont let the name put you off!)

dont forget a set of TORX drivers, although they are more for doing interior work

As above I would get the halford 150 piece pro set if you can stretch to it and then buy other stuff as and when you need it. You will always find you need new bits and pieces for new jobs until you have done loads of things tbh.

Compressor, Air Tools + impact sockets and a torque wrench.

Cheaper than you think, i got a 10bar pressor for less than £140

If your getting torx keys, make sure they are ones for removing tamperproof torx, partly because they will come in handy at some point.
