Today I bought the halfords 150pc kit - it's been upgraded, few more things in there I think. The case is also much much better.

£97! Reduced from £199

Limited offer I think.

I also bought a mamma of a breaker bar , just to make myself feel good

I bought a special T55 head bolt socket from a man in a van - got a life time warrantee as well!

I was in Halfords today for a particular tool, didn't see that offer, and was partly looking would have had to smuggle them into the garage though  They had some ratchet spanners for half price though.

I bought some 1/4" socket stuff last time I was in Halfords

how much was the breaker bar mate i need a new one

Std 'offer' price they have on twice a year, though now £97 instead of £99 due to VAT reduction.

I think the new set overcomes some of my previous gripes, but at the expense of more screwdriver bits and less sockets

has anyone tested the life time guarantee? Think all their tools are covered...?

One of my torx sockets broke(didnt like being used on a Mondeo)so I shall be testing the guarentee at some point.

Yup, I've bust a few bits and bobs - and I just say, I abused them.  They just ask to see receipt (so keep it!!).  Rachets (inc rachet spanners) are 1yr only on the rachet mechanism (its considered a service part - spares available)

I should add, the Clarke sockets I've broken (rather too easily, not what I would class as abuse  ) Machine Mart posted out replacements without quibble, once I gave them invoice number.

missing about a 1/3rd of the deep sockets, and some of the torx/hex bits are now screwdriver bits, not sockets

[feeutfo]

noticed the torx socket body was too wide to remove one of the throttle body bolts. :-(

Is that an ordinary ³/₈" drive Halfords Torx? That a fault I've found with them, I've used ordinary 1/4" hex sockets.

I bought one of these today, to grip the starter ring gear on a scooter that I had to get a nut off the Crank shaft. expected to break it, save the receipt and it didn't break despite a hell of a force on it.
