During one of our recent chats with a visitor, they
commented that they’d purchased a new socket set recently.
They also said just how cheap it had been and it all sounded
really good. Their joy at their bargain lasted right up until about the third
time they’d tried to use it when various parts of the set had started breaking
under stress. Apparently, the ratchets gave up first then bits of the main
metal parts started to shear or “round”.
Now you can probably see where we’re going with this because
we’ve blogged on it before (socket sets in particular seem to arise commonly in
this respect), albeit a long time back. Even so, we’ll offer our thoughts
again.
Generally speaking – cheap tools are a bad idea! OK, if
you’re able to buy a quality second-hand branded set at a bargain price then
good luck to you. That’s different.
