Elora 31piece 3/4" Square Drive -Imperial & metric socket set

Just what's required for a rusty old Land Rover's nuts and bolts

Having done a Series 3 restoration before if the nut doesn't come off first time just cut it off. Seriously not worth the effort!

I was given a Halfords Pro set for Christmas one year and its still going strong. Only had to replace a couple of things but they've always honoured lifetime warranty. As long as it has Halfords on it I've never had to provide a decent which is great since I have no idea where that is.

Find a mate who's a driving instructor or something, they can quite often get 50% off at Halfords. Ed
