Lifetime guarantee too

Use code B17TOOLS15 to reduce it from £12.50 to £10.62, don't know if BC will work in store as well, would bring it down under a tenner then!

No quibble replacemnt should anything fail ( even when its helped by a 5ft scaffold pole )

Cheers OP. Ordered for collection even though I might not strictly need it.

Will you try BC discount in store as well.

So far I've only had to flash my BC card in front of the cashier for them to apply the discount.

Good shout. Hoping to apply my BC discount in store for another 10% and use a pre-pay card I have that gets me another 10% off

Ordered! I got a 1/2“ drive set for a tenner a few months back too. My main big roll cab is stuffed full of Halfords pro stuff but these little sets are great for taking away, or odd jobs in the house etc.

Yeah, ordered the spanners last night as well, at that price it would be a shame not to. Cheers OP

Sometimes I worry that one day Halfords are going to realise that they have left a temp in charge of the finance department and that allowing people to stack discounts has ruined them. They fairly regularly have some stupidly discounted stuff.

dont "really" need the spanners or the socket set but for that price I just cannot resist!! Picked up a 3/8 set a few months back for the same silly price!

1/4" set reserved for pick-up here as well.
Don't really need them as got a roll-cab full of Halfords Advanced tools, but figured it was cheaper than a replacement ratchet if/when mine wears out.

One thing i could do with is a new spanner set and for that price I would go for it.

None near me though 🙁

Just had a call this morning to say that my local store, who were showing as having the sockets available last night don't actually have them and can't get them in. Apparently another slightly less local store has some but I need to cancel my order and reorder them. Fingers crossed. Spanners all good though (does mean going to two halfords in one weekend though!)

call from my local Halfords - none in stock.

They've had 'dozens of orders overnight' and the stock check system can't cope. Basically working through the orders in, errm, order.

I got the socket set locally but the spanners are 20 miles away. Fortunately I need to go that way anyhow so no problem.

Great PSA.
Ordered the 1/2" drive 55pc socket set & 10pc spanner set for £43.

I was going to get a Bahco S400 set but I can't really justify the extra £32 for an occasional use item.

Just treated myself to the 1/2" 55 piece set as well. Again, not sure what I need them for but at that price I'll find something!

BTW I picked up the £299 Pro tool chest combo on their previous offer a few weeks ago. Chap allowed me to inspect in-store to ensure nothing was dinged etc. All perfect. Very happy with the quality.

Hmmm, not bad at that price, but quite limited in use....especially for bikes.

Spend an extra £10 and get something far more practical:

If you want a good 1/4" for bikes I'd suggest the Bahco S26 which can be had for as little as £15.

Well made & very compact - Would happily take it in my pack.

that S26 set is quite interesting, but you really put that in your pack? Seems quite heavy for limited bike functionality

Just collected my 1/4" drive set from the Basildon store.
Cheaper than buying a replacement ratchet when my existing kit wears out/gets left somewhere.

Just picked my set up. Already have a big tool chest full of tools but it was too good value to miss. Good to have a set to lob in a tool bag if I need to go somewhere to do a few bits

Most of my stuff is facom, the halfords kit seems pretty good

And somehow my 10% discount on £10.62 ended up as £9. That is a proper bargain!

Just picked up both of my sets. One member of staff quibbled me using my BC card on already discount items so I said "It's usable on ALL purchases and has always been applied in the past." Job done.

ordered two sets but only got one as they wanted to share the five sets they had out fairly which was fine with me especially as they let me have an 18 piece 3/8" set for the same price so I now have a better range of sizes! Great psa thank op.

Got me spanners, and BC discount worked, taking them under the £4 mark. Sockets should be arriving at another store on Tuesday; hold out less hope for them, but fingers crossed!

Picked up a 1/4" set and 1/2" set today, cheers OP.
Good timing as my 20 year old socket wrench was starting to fail.
Really impressed with the Halfords stuff.

I couldn't find a socket set locally. Instead I bough the tool chest at half price! It's not the post auto-close one, but it was £125 and I've been looking for one for a while. Quality is good for the price, had to grease all the runners but it's working very nicely now. And it swallowed a lot of stuff

it's taken a while. There's the same amount of room the other side of the wall which used to be my home office. Don't use it any more so considering expanding into there. It's that or dig down and make a bat cave 🙂

don't forget topcashback for another 3%

just ordered the 1/2 set for 38quid, figured for that cash it was better to have a nice set in a case than chasing loose sockets when i'm working on my vw.

bit gutted i cant get any of the 5quid spanners though, nearest store to me is 200 miles away.

nice find OP.

I got 3 different kits at a fantastic price after a psa on here many months back.

I'm not a tool snob and I find the Halfords tools to be great for bike use and even some occasional car fettling!

[quote=benp1]that S26 set is quite interesting, but you really put that in your pack? Seems quite heavy for limited bike functionality

No I don't, it was more of an illustration as to how compact it is.
It's really not that heavy but definitely more so than a trail tool.

Just picked mine up, the guy on the till was a little bit bemused at the price 😆

I've already got the smaller version of this set but the price of a second ratchet (can be handy for undoing bolts), the deep reach sockets and the longer extender bar mean this is still a complete bargain. Cheers OP.

Initial order confirmation stated the set would be ready for collection this Tuesday coming, but the branch have just called to say it's ready now.

Happy days - wasn't holding much hope given some experiences shared above.

Cheers OP, great PSA.

Did click and collect for the Hove store... only to be told they had none on arrival.
A little bit bemused, I sugegsted they did the 36 piece set for the same price, as the online stock system said they had lodas..

So i got the £60 set for just over a tenner!

You cheeky git DrP - I saw they had loads of the bigger set in but didn't have the cheek to ask so walked out with just the spanners!
