Best £13 you will ever spend

I bought a complete set that includes the two impact sizes, they really are nice screwdrivers. I never realised how much difference they make until I got some. Denso alternators have JIS screws that are really tight but these Vessel screwdrivers grip them really well. Carburetors on small engines often have JIS too and they are often chewed up when someone has been there before

This is the set I bought

I only got the silver impacta ones in JIS #2 and #3 - real good tools for the money.

Not sure where I bougth mine - random eBay purchase I would think

 

[mtt.tr]

Blast from the past them,battery impact/drivers are the thing nowadays,one hand operation,think i have one of those in a blue metal case with 4 bits

Not so good for damaged screwheads.

My old apprentice bought the big teng set with rollcab
We called them Ding dong tools as they’re dog doo

 

[Bobupndown]

I have a generic one, unbranded in a red metal tin. Bought it over 30 years ago. Doesn't get a lot of use but seems to do the job when required.

 

[Rannsachair]

I have a Halfords own one, made in Taiwan, been using it over 40 years and still good.

I like Teng socket sets and ratchets, I prefer them to Halfords professional and have only broken one socket in about 35 of use for my oldest set ( hammering with an extension bar).

Wouldnt be a teng fan at all , Id be buying draper instead , its that rush job saturday morning tool / car parts shop compulsory purchase , in fact Laser would nearly get my money first , The 1/2 inch ratchets dont seem to hack the pace so well ...

 

[Munkul]

I'm a fan of a lot of teng stuff. Spanners, ratchet spanners, sockets are all pretty bulletproof. Their square drive ratchets are a bit crap, I dont like them. Their allen keys are poor, and their impact driver 8mm hex bits are chocolate.

But other things - no real issues.
Certainly a lot better than draper for spanners.

I have a facom impact screwdriver and it's definitely been worth the cash.

I have had an all chrome Teng 1/2 inch ratchet for 35'plus years, never had an issue, even been abused with a length of pipe for extra leverage. I have the newer ones too with the plastic looking body, I like them to use as fine geared, though not as robust.

theres a few laying at the farm where I work from time to time , they are the newer ones they guy wont even take them back any more , I think hes gone through at least six in two years , now they are working on old land rovers so they do get used but not abused , I still have my original metal handled Britool one , its 40 years plus now. Mind you I do have others that I use more.

Me too, I have my old Britool and Kingdick with my Whitworth and A/F sockets and an old Facom too, They were my dad's and will be 60 plus years old and still good. When I have not been well I have used telescopic handle ratchets which are handy, I have a nice Wurth zebra branded one and the 1/2 inch is laser, and it's taken some abuse.

I have this 3/4 drive Teng set, it's really nice, the ratchet is lovely not like most of the 3/4 stuff out there. I can remember when you could buy these new for about £180 but they are stupid money now. I managed to buy a set on ebay for £175, advert said collection only but I messaged the seller and asked if you could drop it to a ship point and he said yes so I a arranged a courier. I must admit I like the composite handle Teng ratchets, not everyone cup of tea but they are nice if you are working in the cold.

I have a teng roll cab, really nice quality and got for a bargain as had two reps battling it out to sell it to me, I think in the end I got it at nearly cost price.

Any thoughts on Sealey Premier?
Sealey Impact Driver Set 8pc - AK2085 https://amzn.eu/d/dboZ3Z2

 

[armalites]

I would say the Sealey is a bit limited given it doesn't even have hex bits, I would still spend the extra and get the Teng with hex and Torx bits

I’ve had an impact driver for over 49 years, I’ve always felt the four bits it came with limited its use. The more bits you can get the better, agreed

I bought extra bits for mine a couple of years ago, when I discovered they were a standard size after thinking for years I'd not be able to get any. Bonus, two of the new bits are JIS, too.

40 years not 49
