For light use only. I dont have any "car tools" at all so i want a fairly good selection. Im leaning towards the clarke, just because its got more in it (i know i know... quality not quantity.... )

The Clarke set looks identical to a tool box I bought from halfords a few years ago.

All the ratchets shatterd to bits when I tried to undo a tight bolt and some of the sockets have split too
The spanners bend easy too

The halfords set is good quality and you get a lifetime warranty with them. They also do a similar set with ratchet spanners and they are very handy

Halfords have the one identical to the Clarke one for less

But IMO I'd go for the professional set.. If you hold out for the sale the bigger sets get alot cheaper.

Bought the Halfords Professional set couple of months ago after peeps on here recommended it and quality is really very good. Every time I see this set advertised, it's getting cheaper.

If you are buying tools from Halfords rich, only buy a professional set. The rest self destruct. I have the biggest pro set they do.

[liver]

[Deako]

I have that Halfords Pro tool set in the OP and no complaints for the money.

Problem with any tool set is that there is always something lacking but it's a good kit to have around.

I keep looking at that one and I can't work out how other ones with less stuff costs more

Its on offer, and it replaces the previous generation 150 piece set. Its a great bit of kit!!

Cheers Deako, I think I'll have to invest in this

Yeah Halfords kit all the way, had mine years and any issue that I've had were replaced on the spot. Just make sure you get the all stainless ratchets over (as in this type), over this type as they are CRAP! (Clicky links)
