Brad -
I have the King Dick set and a set from Snap-On (British Standard, same as
Whitworth). The King Dick is very high quality, and the box end is very
nice and thin so it can get in tight spots. The standard set that King Dick
sells is very thorough, so it'll have all the spanners you need.
The Snap On set is, of course, extremely high quality. I bought this
because Snap On is the only company I know of that sells a short-length
spanner in BS/Whitworth size. This set is very good for getting in to tight
spaces, but is too short to get alot of torque on it. This set also
includes 0BA and 1BA sized spanners as well.
By the way, Snap-On used to sell a very nice range of BSW sockets, although
I don't know if they do this anymore.
Best Regards,
Alan
