Venhill socket set
« on: February 21, 2017, 06:42:39 pm »
Saw this at the excel on Sunday looks handy if doing a few bolts and you tend not over tighten with a T handle. Looked well made and you can buy the T handle on its own.

Shame that it has all sorts of cross head sockets but no torx.

...and very expensive for 9 sockets and a handful of bits. No mention of steel quality either  :o

Was more thinking about the t bar but the video explains what it is. Don't know about sockets but bar seemed good quality when I tried it plus it was £15 at the show.

That's seems about the right price for a small set like that.

Most decent socket 'sets' have either a screwdriver handle or a method of making a T handle out of two extension bars but the T handle would be a reasonable addition to a set if it is well made.
