I have Snap-on and Warren and Brown.
My W&B is a few years old now and still great (little 3/8 drive for light work, chainsaw stuff and light stuff on the landy) I have no idea if they are still good or made off shore and crappy now??

Definitely WB for the torque wrench, nice bit of kit, certified and if I'm right, still Australian made.
Otherwise, like most collections, I have the full mix, sidchrome, bahco, warren and brown, kinchrome, crescent, supercheap, JBS, and all bought over 20 years, and they all have their place, from daily use, to once in a while, and my favourite, just 'cos I can.
And which one would be most useful ? p/n 334351 ?

Is the current Defender all Metric or is there some AF lurking around, I recall a threat about uni joints ?

I use tools all day everyday and as a spare take anywhere kit I can pick it up and take it in any of my vehicles at any time. I got one of the above kits from AgQuip a about 10 years ago. It has enough to get you started and what you find you don't have just go and add to it. I have looked at most tools cheap and expensive and these are exceptional quality considering price. It also slides under the seat nicely and the plastic case is solid.
Get what you can afford if you think you will use it,
good tools don't make you a good mechanic.
Mine is the 1/2 deflecting beam type, not that it's purpose was ever for the Landy, that's just an added bonus of my job and the tools I need.Quote:

Out of those I think the 40-200Nm 1/2" torque wrench is the best all rounder. That's assuming the socket set you buy is 1/2" of course!
Mate has one of those and its done a shed load of work. Couple of clutches water pump and timing gears on a td42 patrol tranfer box in and out of my ute before I had a house with a shed ect ectQuote:
