Yella, I'd rather a clean shiny spanner that does the job rather than a rusty one! and ftr my toolbox has tools from halfords professional, snap on/blue point, mac tools/tona, teng, taskmaster, facom, wurth, draper, stanley, and plenty of cheapies and b&q/focus own brand stuff. There is definetely a noticeable quality difference between different brands of tools but as a general rule as long as it's got a lifetime warranty it's good kit.
