Don't be going into Aldi and 'feeling' the spanners or some of your old mates may show up.  ;D

They look identical to the set that Halfrauds was throwing in with the socket sets before last Christmas.
Even down to the box and layout  ;)

I checked and they are exactly the same as the Hlafords one.....so clearly sourced from the same Chinese sweat shop but quality should be OK.  :y

The handles are a bit thin so will put pressure on your hand (use a rag) but the ring and open end are well formed with good definition which is always a reasonable sign.

When they run out, usually ;)

I'll probably swing by my Aldi tomorrow - let me know and I'll pick up a set for you if them have them.

About a nanosecond after the store opens, normally. ;D

Neither .. largely because I haven't looked to see what's going on over the bank holiday  :-[ I was planning on going up to Stoneleigh kit car show but Amy's working now so I'll probably be working in the garage or the shed over the bank hol

Might have to see what Halfords charge at trade, seeing as I've probably missed this one.

That said, just before xmas, I picked up a Halfrods Advanced (so guaranteed for life) spanner tray for under £30, though don't believe it goes that large (24mm rings a bell)
