Default Tools advise

Hi all,

I've recently got back into racing after a 20 year break and have been using household tools. Can you recommend a set of hexes and sockets that aren't too expensive but aren't made of chocolate either!

Thank you!

EDS, Arrowmax and HPI are all good tools, but with it being a hobby expect too pay upwards of £8 a tool

MIP thorp are great, nothing fancy but very durable.

Power tool with torque control are nice to save plastic threads.

We use VP Pro tools in the shop every day on customer cars - after almost a year the 2mm is a little worn so needs a new tip. Tool base to store the tools is also kinda cool - though appreciate they are not cheap :-)

Halfords Professional range are as good as Snap On tools and very reasonably priced.
