Looking for a set of allen keys, want half decent ones.

Don't want to spend £100 or anything like that.

Halfords pro ones as good as the rest of their gear?

Would have thought so, and if they're the pro ones then they should carry a lifetime guarantee anyway.

Proper ones.

Not paying £53 + vat, they'll not be getting that heavy use.

Teng/wera sort of thing more up my street.

I had a look in my local halfords but they didnt seem to have any decent sets of allen keys. Maybe just didnt stock them in that store, larger ones are maybe better

Heres the ones Iv got, theres imperial ones available aswell. £11.90
