I recently purchased a power rack and various other bits and pieces for the home gym. In the instruction manual the nuts and bolts on the hardware list state the following sizes:
1/2" × 3 – 1/2"
1/2" × 16t
I'm about to go and purchase a ratchet set toolbox, but don't want to spend a ridiculous amount; on top of that I need to make sure I buy the correct sized ratchet set.
What should I be looking for? I was in Screwfix earlier and the lady didn't know what I was on about; then I took a trip to Halfords and didn't know what to buy. I have a bag full of tools but can't access it at the moment.
I was thinking of getting some pieces to add onto the drill and use the drill to tighten the bolts, but I don't want to round them off.

So it has a bolt that is 3 1/2" long with a 1/2" head, and a 1/2" nut...
You're going to need a 1/2" socket and/or wrench, and/or a couple adjustable spanners. Looks like you're in the UK; so you probably use metric, So you'll need an 1/2" imperial socket and/or wrench, and/or a couple adjustable spanners.
