Halfords sale

Just a heads up...

Half price on some of their professional tool sets, plus an extra 10% off if you reserve it before midnight tonight.

TBH most shops will do that.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Cheeky blighters!! Got to love em for trying it on though!  :grin:

I bought a Socket set from them during this year last year, IIRC the "normal" price was £200 and i paid £100. It's now advertised at its "normal" price being £250 and you get it at half price and 10% off that, still more than it was being sold for 6 months ago.

I thought watchdog did a piece on stores doing this. They are just making you think that you are getting a good deal.

It's not all bad, bought a Sat Nav from Halfrauds a month or two back (it was the cheapest place to buy from at the time) plus I got a £15 off voucher code (via Quidco), Free shipping and using quidco I also got my £5.76 cashback as well, the Sat nav cost me less than £150 cheapest place elsewhere was £179, it also came with free lifetime map updates (4 updates per year)  :happy2:

Just make sure the ratchets work as I know a few people who have had issues of late and even some of the reviews on the site are now saying there's are locking solid too.
I need to check mine in the new set I've got.

I had hoped the industrial cabinates were in the half price sale since they took the previous offer off them but sadly not.

Make sure you keep the receipts as they'll renege on the lifetime warranty without it, even though all the bits say Halfords on them!
