Don't be going into Aldi and 'feeling' the spanners or some of your old mates may show up.  ;D

They look identical to the set that Halfrauds was throwing in with the socket sets before last Christmas.
Even down to the box and layout  ;)

I checked and they are exactly the same as the Hlafords one.....so clearly sourced from the same Chinese sweat shop but quality should be OK.  :y

The handles are a bit thin so will put pressure on your hand (use a rag) but the ring and open end are well formed with good definition which is always a reasonable sign.

When they run out, usually ;)

I'll probably swing by my Aldi tomorrow - let me know and I'll pick up a set for you if them have them.

About a nanosecond after the store opens, normally. ;D
