Don't discount good second-hand tools; there are bargains to be had if you choose carefully.

Oh yeah - the ratchet drive on my Draper gave up in year 2 or 3, I've replaced that several times but now use a Britool one that I've had for about 20 years.
Agree on second hand tools - I'd rather have a second hand Halfords/Draper socket set than a new Silverline whatever....
