Half price socket sets etc
http://www.halfords.com/motoring-travel/tools-diy/socket-sets

Which is pretty much the standard offer (surely nobody pays the non sale price?).
Cheaper on trade though, if anyone has nearby members with Halfords Trade Card :y
-
Was going to say they always have the socket sets on half price offer for about 11months of the year...
-
Not since Christmas they haven't. ;)

Errr, certainly for the past couple of months at the Halfords in Bletchley (which I wander in to at least once a week) they have :).
I've been keeping my eye on a second 200pc set to use as a "throw in the car" set, as my previous 200pc set has been decanted into those dedicated 200pc trays they sell for their sets.
-
Not on the web site that I've seen it hasn't. ;D
And anyway, I certainly didn't post it for the likes of you, that already has one, knows the deal, and does nothing but bloody moan about the set anyway.
We need to talk to you about your negativity young man. :P
No I posted for those that might need one and are NOT aware.
So, yes that's alright Jamie. Don't mention it. No problem. :y
::)

Me only complaint of the 200pc set is its bloody heavy ;D. Did I mention it was heavy? :P
Its not a bad starter set for people coming back in to car mechanics, and if bought with the £15 (retail) tray mouldings (not available online), fits nicely in a tool chest/trolley. Get some pliers, cutters, molegrips etc, and you have a decent set of tools for modern cars, that just needs adding to when the specialised bits are needed :y
But that 200pc is bloody heavy ;D
But in case anyone wasn't aware, only ever buy the Halfords sets when on half price offer (most of the time, either in store or online), or ideally on Halfords Trade, where they come in under half price, eg the 200pc one is £300 retail, £150 on the common half price offer, or £120 trade.
-
Last time I checked, 170pc was £109 trade, 150pc was £94 trade.

Of course it's bloody heavy. It's got 50/30 more PIECES IN IT! AAAAAHHHHHHH! ;D

Looks good, although reviews state the older kits don't really fit as well. But should cater for most of them.

Ah yes but now see.... Haven't got the numbers painted white have they ;)

I've got no issues seeing numbers as they are, but I think fatty admin likes to have them white? ;D

They doing 3 for 2 on all cleaning products , just got some
G3 products :y

I should really get some of those trays for all the 'overflow' tools in the second cabs.

I can only see them in good light .. so in the garage I go blind and spend half my time going "15? No, 13. 15? No, 17. 15? Ah, 15" - you'd think I've have learnt which one was which by now.. ;D

There's a lad at work, named 10mill. Wouldn't of helped him.
Spanner he had was too small. So asked for a bigger one. He was told he needed a 10mm spanner, but promptly asked in a stroppy voice "well what size is that?" 10MILL ... YA HALF WIT!
Now forever known as, Tenmill ;D

I popped into Halfords today, to buy a mains to 12Vdc adaptor for £15 to power my 12v coolbox...
Website said Swindon branch had stock.....but I couldn't see any...young girl helped me look but she couldn't find them either.....so she got a colleague over, who said there usually next to the coolboxes, but when he couldn't find any either, simply suggested, that as there quite small, they have probably been nicked :o .
She went and checked the computer and it said 17 in stock....I said they carnt all have been nicked, so where are they.....She went and asked the manager who told her where to look on shelves....except where they were suppose to be (according to label on the shelve) was empty.
Fair play to her, she said she was determined to find them.....10 mins later she was back with one in her hand....said she found it in the 'reserved' bin....but I could have it :y ....she said haven't a clue where the other 16 are tho'.
I thanked her for all the time she spent looking for me.....but no wonder the price of bulbs have shot up.... if they need to recover losses, like losing 16 power packs in just one store ::) :o
Shelf price £15.....TC price £15 :( Never mind tho.....cheapest off ebay was £13....and then I would have to go collect from the sorting office .....

These would come in handy :)

Who was talking about 150pc trays, ya bloody mongrel. They have been online since the last 150pc set came out (so not really much good for your slightly older 150pc set, and bloody useless for tunnie's original (and best) 150pc set).
The 200pc trays (3 of them, £15 retail) are currently only available in store :)

Good point not so well presented, scabby chops ;) ;D
