That's the one I've got and it really is an excellent set.

I don't mean to sound like an Aldi fan boy but credit where credit is due!

I'm a big Aldi fan, don't worry
I've got plenty of tools, so not looked at these.

Funnily enough, following that link the nearby 95 piece set does look like a decent emergency bag for the boot. Unfortunately the 95 pieces includes the imperial bits few owners would ever need and to bulk up the numbers they include a set of jewellers screwdrivers and some too-short cable ties.

Mine didn't come with cable ties, different set? This is the one I've got - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/95-piece-wrenches-sockets-set-for-39-99-aldi-1707283

Think you will find colino was referring to the Halfords Phaze 95 piece set link in post 25.

I wondered that but it links to a 52 piece set.

I don't want to know what you do in the privacy of your own home thanks.

Hey guys how does this sound?

It's the Halfords Advanced Professional 90 Piece Socket Set on sale for £60 reduced from £120

£60 isn't actually too bad for a full kit, not sure whether it has any of the torque screws? I would need T20-25

My bad, maybe colino was referring to this one:

Perhaps colino could confirm or otherwise?

They're cheap enough, and often found in drill bit sets anyway.

No Torx you would need to buy them separately.
