I agree with the rachets one as I was fed up with breaking cheap ones every five seconds whenever you gave them any type of torque. I do all my own work on my S40 T4. I ended up buying a Halford Pro Set that was reduced from £150 to £99, think its around 200 piece in its own case. When you price up the cost of one rachet, around £20-30 for something even remotely reasonable, it works out a bargain with three rachets and loads of sockets etc. plus a lifetime guarantee. Not sure if the offer is still on but might be worth a look!
Oh yes and WD40 or equivalent best tool in the box at times and Jim my dads Britool rachet set outlasted him, now thats quality we don't get anymore.
