If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Has anyone used these and can rate them compared to the Irwin versions?
They are a different design, just like ratchet teeth.
They are about 1/2 the price of a set of Irwins, I fancy a nice present.
What puts me off is the "Expert Quality". In The Olden Days, that label meant good stuff, now it is stuck on the cheap toffee spanners.
On the other hand, type "Irwin" into eBay and they make their share of cheap tools as well :S

I have the Irwin versions and have given them a very hard time, and they are worth every penny.

Cheers guys
I think I'd best get a set of Irwins, will have to wait until next month though.
The Draper look as though they might just chew the nut to completely round.
