Cheap Ratchet Socket Set -- Where to Buy?

[ricklev]

I need a cheap ratchet set. Actually just need a 13mm socket, an extension and a ratchet, but I will just buy the whole set. This sort of made in China set would be available in the USA at Walmart/Kmart etc. for 5 bucks or so. Can't find one anywhere here, but I probably just don't know where to look.

So far I've checked at Big C, Tesco and Home Pro on Wittayu.

Any ideas convenient to the BTS? Thanks!

Most streets in Bangkok will have a few mom and pop hardware stores.

Personally, I'd head to Klong Thom, the cheap tool capitol of Bangkok.

It's not on the BTS/MRT routes. But, it's an easy bus ride: http://goo.gl/maps/Eg8EM

I'm surprised you didn't find a set at Home Pro. Rangsit store had dozens to choose from. Any shop with compressors out front will have sockets inside.

Big C, Tesco, Macro all have them where I live!

They must carry different stock in inner city stores.

It's a definite mai mee.

Thanks. I might end up taking that bus trip!

Although you may find stuff in the 'mall', there's more stuff lining the surrounding sois. In fact, you may see what you are looking for on google!
