I think you can get them off chavs for free.

I know of someone (never met them) who aquired a toolbox off a car thief who was starting to strip his car.

I have a couple of the 150pc Halfords socket sets (now £180), and they are a pretty reasonable set.  Lifetime warranty (and I've had no issue getting broken bits replaced - even though most broken by misuse), though don't think the warranty covers rachets or rachet spanners.  The normal spanners aren't perfect either.


I did a post around November time comparing the (then £150) Halfords socket set V £100 Clarke Garage Toolkit.  Halfords kit every time wins. Worth reading that post to see ups and downs of both sets.

I have a few rails of Clarke Pro sockets.  The Halfords do seem better quality.  The Clarke 72 teeth rachets are very nice though.
