Side note, my missus has Vespa too. Was horrified to see rust underneath and around battery box. Less than 4 years old!! Be changing soon, but can’t afford T Max.

Mines an 2008 and something I bought just to rebuild to past the time on wet days
I am surprised at how bad the newer ones are at rusting to be honest

Funny thing is the “real” ones didn’t suffer from rust unless they were left in a field for 30 years
Yeah, Snap On is still the AK47 of the tool world. I’ve got a few things that I picked up used on eBay over the years, but no Torx. 3/8 stubby ratchet is my favourite. Teng torque wrenches
PS. Someone is selling nice set of Snap On ring spanners on here…….probably gone already though
The one I bought has clearly been used and abused (10+ owners and 10k miles) but I don't mind as its just a project bike to tinker on. Bit of rust but nothing worrying compared to what I've seen on newer bikes so I agree its shocking to see the difference between quality old bikes and newer bikes
I find they quite fun to work on
I've just looked at the price of Snap On Torx set 
I need to spend a few more nights on the street corner bobbing for apples

A good alternative to Snap On is Facom, probably as good but a bit cheaper

Wera tools are really good. I bought this Torx socket set which covers all sizes servicing my GSA.

No, T handle wrenches. The set cost about £90 ten or so years ago.I've just looked at the price of Snap On Torx set

I also have a Halfords Advance socket set - managed to break the T25 bit
I mostly use my Halfords advanced tool kit as got a blinding discount years ago and its done me well.
Are you saying get the T Handle wrenches?? I have been looking but don't know if they are worth it??

I bought a Snap On socket set back in 1972. Still using it & nothing has ever broken. Superb quality.
I like the t handles. The Motohansa kit has a nice universal t bar thing.
