Get a set that has both Imperial and Metric sizes.Any automotive or engineering shop, and don't get the cheapest.

Go to Bunnings.There is an older guy there who knows alot about tools as I think he is one of those old school hardware store types.He stands by the lifetime warrenty and replacement even if you have no reciept or didnt even buy the tool from there just as long as they are dealers of the tool.He replaced a jig saw part by giving me a whole jig saw,I didnt even have to show him the broken part which was at home.More helpful than a bootload of Ripco monkies on speed.

Bondus would be one of the better quality. Total trade tools or Wilson Saeco

I've got a very average no brand set that I've had for 30 years.They still doing the job.Unless you useing them every day can see littlepoint in spending big money on something like stahlwillie.

they joy of owning something that will out last me and maybe even my grand kids. I have tools inherited from grand fathers and just enjoy using them so much more than some soulless crap taiwan

Bondhus are definitely one of the best brands. Can buy them at Tradezone, Blackwoods or Bay Engineers in Hamilton.

In some cases I would agree 100% with you but with allen keys -especially the smaller sizes I don't agree I vote for Bondus too

Agree, those no brand (odd brand) chrome China/Taiwan1's are pretty bad. Use twice, biff away

Yep same here, the problem is keeping track of them when the teenagers are around, (not that theres a single mechanical inclination in their heads, these days anyway)

We had a guy try out for an apprenticeship called Allen Keys. We named him Wall - coz he was like talking to one.

Thats a "T" handle set and also a Taiwanese set too. I dont think the OP was after a "T" handle set.

Mine are old enough to not be a cheap knockoff.So like just about everything these days cheap is rubbish.I'd be inclined to get a middle of the road set and if you find there is one or two sizes you use a lot once the one you have rounds off then just buy those sizes in real good ones.

i use a kingchrome set from bunnings for work and they get used and abused week after week and the bonus is they seem to be a bit longer than the normal ones they are the blue and chrome ones
oh and i found the kingchrome ones better than the bondus set i was using previously
