the slider pins are 7mm
most allen key sets skip that size, but Draper sell a brake key which is a 7mm allen key with a rubber coated extension handle for not much moolah.

As do Laser Tools, which are normally sold in most Halfords stores.

the worst this is those pissing etorx female torx bits that VX seem to think are the best thing since sliced bread to hold my car together with, i mean, what is wrong with 6 sided hex heads :slap:

Torx heads are used because the tools last longer than screwdrivers or allan keys, which is useful when you are building several thousand cars a month.

I've got that set.. Its my trusty scrapyard pillaging kit!

The new 150 piece kit is a bit naff, they cheat but putting in LOADS of those tiny heads for the screw driver

u will get trade on all tools but when they are on a offer like the 150 piece kit it will prob be about the same price 2bh.
if any1 wants cheap tools from halfords let me no in advance and can get them either trade or discounted. i.e 150 piece for about £85

it depends as trade price would be on original price, not the special offer price i.e. original price is £199.99 for the 150 piece kit. where as discount would be on the £99 or whatever price it is atm
