I have blue point and halfords tools and to be honest the difference in quality is none. My halfords kit is brilliant also has lifetime warranty. I broke a half inch extension took it into my local halfords and they replaced it there and then.... Plus you will get a lot more for your money in halfords

Halfords kits for home use are superb value. Will last a lifetime of tinkering away and should anything go wrong they will replace without too much hassle.

You'll have no problames with that kit mate, its good stuff. I've gone through a couple of ratchets but you can buy repair kits for a fiver.
