WHILE AT THE SHOP I NOTICED THE 1/2" FULLER SOCKET SET FOR $250 I BOUGHT THE EXACT SAME SOCKET SET FROM K MART BACK IN 1990 FOR $70 .
I LIKE GOOD TOOLS THEY ARE ESSENTIAL FOR MY JOB AND I LIKE TO HAVE THE RIGHT STUFF WHEN WORKING ON THE BIKE AS WELL

You should get a Bacho 200mm cresent to carry on your bike - they have extra wide opening jaws to fit big things like axle nuts,and the one I have has a reversable jaw that converts it into a pipe wrench.....then you can convert those silly looking hex head bolts into something with nice rounded edges....stops people stealing things off your bike because they can't get them undone.

Bacho? Bahco? I got a 6 inch one, nice , rubber handle and it's not chrome. Has the reversible jaw thing. Only thing is that with the jaws the normal way round the make it bigger thing works backwards to normal. But all in all about the best quality adjustable around I reckon.

I hate that! A ''real'' Cresent,and all proper copies have the adjuster working the correct way.....the way to tell a cheap copy was they mirror imaged the adjuster and made it go backwards.After a lifetime of using them I only opperate them one way,it's almost impossible for me to use backwards ones.But now we see more and more quality brands with reverse adjusting worms - tells me where they are really made.....
