Think it's a good set at a good price that comes with larger sockets > 23mm or 15/16" (Good for people who already own bigger sets with large socket sizes missing. The included 11 large sockets alone (if bought individually) worth more than the deal price, all the rest of the stuff comes basically free.

============

With everything you need to get going, this Stanley 40 piece socket set is awesome value. Kept safe in a bright, yellow metal case, this Stanley kit comes complete with a t-bar, ratchet and extensions, all in 1/2” drive. The set also offers a huge range of sockets in both Imperial and Metric standards, in much larger sizes than are commonly found in basic kits. Along with all of the above, the yellow case also contains a 13/16” spark plug socket and an appropriate universal joint.

The set includes both Metric & Imperial:

1/2" drive metric sockets: 10 - 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 30, 32mm
1/2" AF sock: 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, 13/16, 7/8, 15/16, 1, 1/16, 1-1/8,1-3/16, 1-1/4

    Great deal, stanley products are very well made.

    I bought this one about a year ago at the same price. (

    Wish I waited for this but you never know when a good deal will come up.

      Exactly, right.

      Basically just need a 27mm socket to replace the anode rod of the gas water heater at home but this deal looks good and am inclined to buy the whole lot. I miss all eleven sockets in bold in the above description in my 206 piece set bought from Costco.

        Ditto. The inclusion of a breaker bar is good as hot water heater have the nut done on tight. Real tight
        For $10 you can buy a set of tap spanners from bunny or assturds, but I'm not sure if they come in 27mm. I have one in any case, so they do exist, but you might have to go to a plumbing supply shop to get it.

        • megadeth on 15/12/2013 - 06:23

          Absolutely - plumbing threads are super-tight and the trick is to use a breaker bar (as you've suggested). Additionally the weight of the water in the heater should be used on your side, i.e., working while the heater is filled.

          I'm planning on using the 21" long extended 1/2" drive/breaker bar with a standard 27mm socket and an extension.

          I happen to have one of these:

    If anyone is in SA, its worth checking out the Sidchrome 38 piece + tape measure combo for $99 at Sprint Autoparts.

    if space isn't an issue, ½" is probably great for all round work.

    if working in the cramped engine bays of today, you may want to reconsider this set and get a ⅜" set instead.

    • megadeth on 12/12/2013 - 01:14

      True, it's a full 1/2" set - intended for people who already own a full 1/2" & 3/8" sets.

      For automotive application, the larger sockets are probably not needed much, it's just all the small one-off jobs around the house (like one I'm about to do) - for which you need this gear. And you only realise you need one - when you find out that you have to do these jobs.

      I haven't found a cheap large no-name socket lower than $6-7 anywhere. I've seen people to be unhappy with the Made in China Stanley stuff. But IMO these are brand name stuff - supposedly better quality than Toolpro, (Calibre or Repco etc) gear.

      • tdw on 12/12/2013 - 02:53

        i needed a 27mm socket for my car's oil filter housing. SCA sells the ToolPro branded one for $5.99, iirc. with the Club Plus $10 birthday credit at the time, it came out free :)

        • megadeth on 12/12/2013 - 10:29

          How would you rate Toolpro against other brands? I bought a $5 loose Calibre spanner (14mm) once it turned out to be okay quality, but have never used Toolpro.

        • tdw on 12/12/2013 - 15:28
          +1

          SCA have replaced the Calibre branded stuff with ToolPro.

          i've only used it a couple of times so far, but the quality seems decent enough for the occasional job.

      • t25 on 12/12/2013 - 14:58

        I was told Repco tools comes out of the Stanley factory but in their company colors?

        I use a wide range of tools, but find myself reaching for my snap on ratchet and koken sockets.

        Pricey? Most definitely. Worth it? Only if you make money with them.

    Gonna buy one of these. Not because I need one, but just to feel 'blokey'.

  • tissue on 12/12/2013 - 06:56

    I bought one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009EMKMBM/ref=ox_ya_os_pro… sets for A$106 landed using some promo code. I must admit my set doesnt have the larger sockets that are bolded either, but I dont know how often the average joe would use some that size? The only time I think I have was a 26mm socket on an engine crank pulley.

    Looks like the 123-piece set is approx A$80 landed.

  • onlyletters on 12/12/2013 - 10:01

    Deep sockets FTW!!

    • tdw on 12/12/2013 - 15:29

      ok i giggled there :D

  • chengjianer on 12/12/2013 - 23:59

    Hey, is it better to use a socket than a spanner for a sump plug??? Less chance to get stripped bolts?

    ToolPRO VS Stanley, which one better u think???

    • t25 on 13/12/2013 - 01:33

      use whatever is easiest.

      i prefer to use my socket but somethings just dont work with a ratchet.

    • tdw on 13/12/2013 - 01:38

      it depends a lot on how much space you've got to work with. i prefer to use ratchet+sockets as it's quicker, more convenient and you can add extension bars, uni joints etc. you can also get ratcheting spanners (which my mechanic says can break easily).

      ToolPRO VS Stanley

      i haven't seen stanley sockets sold separately, so unless you want/need/work with a variety of socket sizes, just buy the toolpro ones. then again, if you're using some tools a lot more than others, best to spend a bit more for those (and not from SCA)

      • t25 on 14/12/2013 - 00:38

        ratcheting spanners are great when they are new, but once they get dirty, and you start soaking them in chemicals to clean them out, they get all gritty and crap.
