I've built my whole 1600 using a $249 toolbox from repco. I cant remember ever rounding a nut/bolt to the point where it couldnt still be taken off with the same tool. Ive had a few slips, causing a little rounding, but just move it around and have another go.
For the price its incredible value.
Only recently did my 1/2 ratched sh*t itself. It just gave way, and doesnt work any more. But thats after stripping a whole 1600, half stripping another, working on motors, and building a whole other 1600.
PLUS, i do admit to doing, what you should NEVER do, and that is use a ratchet as a breaker bar with a hammer hahahhaha That will definitely kill them!
So if your after an everyday, use on wahtever, whenever tool set that you dont need to put to bed each night and tuck in, go a repco kit.
If you want something that is top quality, that you will never have to replace anything ever, go SNAP ON. But you will be sacrificing both arms and a leg, so you wont be able to use them anyways hahahaha
If you want something in between, that is good quality, if a little expensive, get Kinchrome/Sidchrome.
Just to put it into perspective, for the $249 that you spend on a complete toolbox with screwdrivers, spanners, sockets (1/4,1/2,3/4) , ratchets, knives, pliers, sparky pliers and a terminal kit, you can get a 40 piece metric/ A/F socket set by Sidchrome.

My vote is Repco =)
But if you want better quality, go to your local engineering shop, and they should have various brands, and a catalogue with more for you to choose from.
