TimR Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Bergen 'used'to be ok but in my opinion about 10yearsago ( maybe more) they changed and became very poorly made and now are a budget range trading on a Previous good name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Swagman Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I have a set of long reach Bergen/us pro Allen sockets first time I used the 5mm it snapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Sadly most tools now aren't the same quality you could once get I mentioned this on my post about t-handled keys People with tools older than 20 years should hang on to them like they are gold! They are made of much better metal. You can even see it in the more premium brands like Snap-On. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 If you want decent tools that don't cost a bomb.... Check Halfords Pro/Expert range. Lifetime guarantee and the tools aren't bad either, had a couple of sets for many years now and only broke the 1/4 ratchet once and they replaced it without any issue.
