    This seems like a good deal particularly if done through Quidco:

    got some Halfords pro stuff already and they are great quality

    Id be inclined to agree great quality if they made more than their 1/4″ drive sockets in flank drive.

    Bi hex is shit for anything other than bi hex bolts 🙂

    Spanners are top notch though.

    Good quality flank drive sockets are availible from bahco for similar money

    Got A similar set sometime back as a freebie in with a Halfords roll-along tool chest and cabinet. Halfords Professional Tools seem as well made as mate’s Snap-On IMO.

    pity Ive sorted myself out with bits over the years now. Best set of tools Ive bought, during the Landrover build, was the Halfords ratchet spanners. Dont know how I survived so long without them.

    The set Cliffyc mentioned is on offer now. You can get the above 170 piece, the industrial roller cab and top box on a bundle offer.

    Approx £750 sticker value
    + bundle deal
    – quidco voucher code for motoring accessory discount
    – quidco cashback
    – British Cycling discount when you reserve and collect (which more than pays for the subscription price)

    = approx £285 🙂

    Put another way, if you want the industrial tool cabs, they are just £200 rather than £610.

    Now stoner …. Those are bloody handy i do like mine alot.

    Same as gearwrench of the usa – nothing like snap on quality im afraid , they just dont last when used hard.

    Get some light gear oil and put your ratchet heads in a bath of over night , they run much better after – my second set have faired much better and not either jammed up or stripped like the first set – got 8 months out of first set…. 3 years out the next. My mates snap ons are used daily in a professional garage and have never been lubed in their life.

    I have been resisting the urge to turn my red pro chest stack from a 26 to a 52 by bolting 2 sets of them together while they are on the cheap.
