Compared to the usual half price offer (£125) for the socket set, that makes the spanners a bit pricey IMHO.  At least Halfords clearly realise that their current socket sets are a step backwards in the spanner department, and having to do these bundles.

Hopefully the spanner that came up with the idea has learned.

If I didn't have a 150pc already, and a set of spinners although not the bigger sizes, I'd go for that. No problem at all. :y

You can get a good deal at Halfords you just need to be careful what range etc they are offering and whether you really need everything they have in the offer

Me and you both ;D

As a starter set they are probably ok although I was always told to buy the best you can afford and hopefully they will last

I still have a Gedore socket set bought in 1976 and still going strong, unlike it's owner (cough splutter) :y :y


PS 1976 for the younger members was ''before you were born''  ;D ;D ;D

I was looking at one of these the other day in Costco.

http://www.costco.co.uk/view/product/uk_catalog/cos_8,cos_8.8,cos_8.8.4/594174

Seems like good value!  :y  I think someone here recently said they had one and it was OK.  :-\

Sure will be  Craftsman is a make bought and used by a lot of the American techs I have worked with, I used a fair few of their kits and they seemed good enough.

Yep, the Yankees use Craftsmen!  :y

I'm getting sick of seeing all these offers from them... cos they're not offering the 25 piece spanner set for cheap lately. That's what I want!!! lol
