well from my own experience it was a pig of a job with the halfords plug spanner, better too have the wobble bars (i got them from halfords :whistle: a 6in & 3in extension for about £8) for your socket set and use them a lot more, allsorts of awkward angles can be reached with these neat little chap's

Halfords socket sets are great value but have a look around at some other kits - you'll be best getting a 3/4" and a 1/4" drive but it's important to hold the ratchet and check the mechanism is tight.
They will last a long time so spend as much as you can and then a little more.

I'd definately shop around, i only bought the halfords cos it's at the end of the road and i needed them to finish the job, there's some good tools about if you have a look around, machine mart are quite good (if you have one near you) and have a wide selection of tool's at various prices
