One thing that I would add is to try and by "wall-drive" type sockets or spanners. Both of the sockets in your hand in the photo appear to be wall drive varieties Mike. Machine Mart do a whole range of wall drive sockets and Sealey do a range of wall drive spanners - all very reasonably priced. I would also advise on getting rachets with as many teeth as possible. 72 tooth rachets allow a much finer degree of turn than 30 or 43 tooth rachets. Machine Mart have started doing 72 tooth rachets for around £10 in the traditional polished chrome-vanadium and black polycarbonate (looks real sexy - lol)
