Cheap tools aren't always bad, I bought this set over years ago and it took a lot of abuse, done many jobs on my car, Rowells, and others lol. Plus they're 6 sided so don't slip on rusty bolts like he Halfords pro 12pt ones.

I did buy a Halfords pro kit shortly after but as its heavy/big I tend to use the small one most of the time. It was fine until last year, I stripped half the golf with it, until the rear calipers, torx bolts snapped the 1/4 to 3/8 converter. And that's all that broke in 4 years! Understandable when I found the torque setting for those bolts though lol. And then I hammered a torx bit in the holder into a brake disc screw on the HDi, which broke the holder as it uses a metal spring to hold the bits. So for the price I just bought another kit lol.... Really can't fault it for £15.
