Workshop Tool Kit, Halfords any good.
« on: October 20, 2010, 11:14:27 am »
In the market for a KIT of workshop tools, noticed Halfrauds doing several offers at the moment, are these any good?

Cheers

Is the only thing lacking a Torque wrench? :scared:

I have the £99 150 piece socket set just in case the hammer fails to fix it first time.  :grin:

I've also got the 150 piece kit as well and is spot on, plus dont forget their advanced range comes with a lifetime warranty - just dont lose the receipt!!!

Halfords tools are excellent quality. Don't be fooled by the chav image they seem to have aquired for selling cheap car tat!

Sealey are also excellent, with a lifetime warranty (on most of their stuff).  And the same with the stuff supplied by www.Cromwell.co.uk - who sell various different lines ranging from DIY to serious industrial professional stuff - and their warranty handling is superb (don't even need a receipt).
