That’s a big boys socket. What do you need that for?

Re: B&Q 32mm socket
What's the point of a lifetime 'guarantee' when it only costs £2.35? If it lasts for a few uses then breaks, just buy another one. Tools might not be 'what they used to be' but these examples are much, much cheaper than anything you could have bought 30 years ago even when taking income/cost of living into account.

Re: B&Q 32mm socket
using it 4-5 times and then it breaks is still very good value for money at that price.

Re: B&Q 32mm socket
Why buy a replacement when you have a lifetime guarantee and get a free one

Re: B&Q 32mm socket
Agree but it usually happens when people don't use tools properly. I've seen people use hammers on a socket and ratchet bar with the inevitable destruction of the ratchet mechanism. Another one is to continue exerting pressure on the socket when it's slipped slightly from being flat on the nut, resulting in either a damaged/rounded nut or socket - all user error.
