thats odd, my local halfrauds replaced mine no issues. Just took the T50 or T55, which had been snapped by that thug omegatoy on my project Senator.

They said 'blimey how did you do that', and then promptly got a replacement, maybe worth going to another store  :y

Try another store... You could shout a little as it's meant to be a competitor to Snap On tools and you don't need a receipt with them ::) ::)

I'd be a bit more forthright!! ::) They have 'Halfords' stamped all over them, so it's obvious where they came from. You are asking for a replacement .... not your money back!
Go back in and be prepared to stand your ground!!! :y  :y  :y  :y

just received this e-mail from them


Dear Kev,

Thank you for your email.

In regard to your query, you do need your proof of purchase to return a
product to Halfords.

If it was paid for by card then a statement showing the transaction would
be an acceptable form of proof of purchase too.

Please accept my apologies for your inconvenience.

Kind Regards,

Robin.

so, dont buy anything from halfords as a gift in case it brakes as the warranty will be void. Load of rubbish. Life is life, the end!

As with the trade club card, there are plenty of stores to fine tune your story.

You have no chance of doing head bolts with the Halfords bits.....they would not get past the 2nd 90deg tightening!
