I just bought that a few weeks back, bloody good stuff. 
And in Aldi's I got a set of nice spanners too. The ratchet ones.
Still use my old Kamasa stuff though.

I use halfords pro stuff=very impressed.
Even my dad, a retired mechanic, and confirmed brittool user likes the halfords stuff.
Loads of tool 'snobbery' around.
Its taken me 20 years to get to the point where I can afford a full set of Snap-on sockets, but still buy some Halfords stuff for occasional use as I reckon its pretty decent stuff!Even my dad, a retired mechanic, and confirmed brittool user likes the halfords stuff.

The only tools I avoid these days are the unbranded Chinese crap & Kamasa.
Found most of them in the past appear to be made of copper/lead mix which you could bend with one hand.

After spending ages comparing both in the shop I bought the 80 quid one
There was nothing really in the other one that Id actually need, most of the niche bits I have anyway
Interestingly they were both full price, I had to show him the price on my phone for him to price match!
That set looks decent enough, my only criticism is they are trying too hard with that set.There was nothing really in the other one that Id actually need, most of the niche bits I have anyway

I'd rather have a decent 1/4" & 3/8" set with more parts.
These days I find 1/2" drive is a bit of a waste & only use a 1/2" torque wrench for wheels etc.
General DIY on cars / bikes, 3/8" is usually enough.
