Stanley Fatmax 5-65-427 review

The ‘Made in France’ sticker emblazoned on the box, plus the high-quality finish, give off a strong first impression of this Stanley kit.

Stanley Fatmax 5-65-427
Overall Auto Express rating

2.0

Best price: £29.48 
Contact: www.stanleytools.euSet: 6 x plain slot, 4 x Pozi

The ‘Made in France’ sticker emblazoned on the box, plus the high-quality finish, give off a strong first impression of this Stanley kit. Although it’s expensive, considering what’s provided, it’s all impressive stuff. 

The choice of sizes and configurations is good, but none of the tips is magnetic, and the overly rounded handles and lack of cast-in nuts don’t help with grip.
