Iv'e got a set of Kincrome with the little toggle switch for reversing , cost a fortune and had them for years and use nothing else ( except for 3/8 drive deap socket set ,also kincrome,on a air ratchet ) Havn't had any problems. I think it comes down to you get what you pay for.

Looked at some in Bunnings of all places. Imperial set in Kinchrome was $149 for ones that were flat. Almost bought them and then saw some generic brand 'Supatool' ones in the same sizes but had an offset or kink in them for $49. Got very confused and left without buying any!

Cheers

There is a kincrome set of 5 with some stupid size in the middle. 15/32 or something. Was it that set?

$170ish should be the price i'll get the sidchrome 7pce set for. I'll get it cheaper than I can get off ebay. 8)

Got the Sidchrome set. 8)

Finally got around to putting the order to Stanley earlier this week and they arrived today.

The fact that the Sidchrome set come in your usual Sidchrome box that their socket sets come in pushed me towards deciding on Sidchrome over Kincrome. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
