    I need some awls and hooks: any suggestions please

    Lo people

    I've found myself needing to pull off plastic panels and trims etc recently and I don't have proper picks for that job.

    I like Bahco a lot, so these look good... at £18 they're good value too.

    but does anyone have any suggestions of similar quality but better value pls?

    I'd go with the Bahco set myself. Got one of their socket sets, which is serious heavy duty!

    Halfords might do one. IIRC, they had a long reach set last time I was there.

    I went to a local hardware shop and got a set like that for £6. Use every one of them every day and they're still good
