Hello 'Dsd'
I bought one last year too - but it went with the Scallies when they stole my D3 from outside my house at 03.45 GMT, 19/12/2010 
I wish I'd known that they were available, I got the information from a new TV advert last nite and am just off to my 'Local' to grab one.

Tho' not the ratchets, I was told this morning. Those would cost about a 'fiver'.

I bought this set a few months back, primarily to tempt my 17 yr old lad into maybe doing something on his 1st car (instead of me ), sadly not even a flicker of interest shown...

Mine have all broken when i have been undooing very stiff bolts, my tools get a hard life at race tracks and i will admit dont get treated well.
Undoing hub nuts that are very tight and rusted, with a ratchet, extention (to clear hub) and a 2 meter bar puts a large pressure, should really use an impact wrench but sometimes no access to one.
I have never had an issue and had my kit for over 3 years
