Budget of £2 sound more reasonable?
Yes please. If you don't mind but I suspect that even one, never mind the pair, might be a long time coming.

My 16 & 18mm impacts at the moment are cheap ring spanners and a lump hammer ;)

* actually I'm sure I have at least an 18mm impact socket from an Aldi set a few years back... (even at the Halfrauds prices, the usefulness would be worth it IMO as it's a common size on PSA suspension gubbins etc)

You may be surprised Paul, theres always a few stalls selling old tools. I've had a few good things for pennies. I go almost every week so chances are ok. After a jetwash for me atm but all the ones so far were tiny.

I'd be surprised if there are any impact sockets for Whitworth size nuts and bolts.

Weren't there impact drivers before there were impact sockets, at least on the D-i-Y market?

I was half expecting never to see them. Bought them more out of interest because my 1/2" 17mm deep socket hasn't made it from Wales somehow.

I ordered a set....as did quite a few people on one of the motorbike forums I frequent....no one's had a delivery yet! And the seller isn't replying to eBay messages or eMails.....The payment is still in my Paypal account, showing as 'not accepted yet', so I can cancel and reclaim it at anytime.

Ho hum, worth a punt though! :)
