Halfords 278718

Best price: £60 | Sockets: 24

This set looks a little sparse compared to some of Halfords’ more comprehensive kits. You get both deep and standard sockets, although it would have been good to see our essential 8mm in a long version, too. The ratchet feels good, with a fairly fine action, plus it’s easy on the hands when applying pressure. For this money, though, we’d expect to see spark plug sockets.
