I've acquired a new Halfords Advanced Pro set .. £99 instead of £199 ..

Just used it and can see why everyone raves about them .. I've already used their sockets singly and spanners, but the set, complete, is just lovely ..

'specially like the wobble joint extensions, so useful!

Got one of those last year to go with me other Halfords socket set and also got a set of their ratchet spanners, they are a good bit of kit well worth there money,only ever broke one thing a breaker bar atachment when trying to undo the dog nut to change the cambelt, and had to get the store manager to talk to as the 18 year old spotty lad on the counter said, I needed my receipt for the lifetime garantee which after 3years had faded to a blank piece of paper, but after some quotes of what a life time garantee means they finally replaced it.

the tools are good but the boxes are crap and you can't purchase them seperately, the hinges snapped on mine after 3 weeks

Did you use trade card? Get extra off then.

I find it good, you can buy extra strips of sockets like star drives which most of disco internals are

As MHM says go with the Halfords pro range, nice set of spanners, wasn't sure if the ratchet on them would hold up to much, but have been pleasantly sup prized, as a few times I've been hanging off them on a few tough bolts and they have stood up to the punishment.

Trying not to be rude but how are you damaging them when you have breaker bars and torq wrenches .
