Need some tools...?

[Wedg1e]

Not too shabby a deal on this socket set at Halfords... £100 off!

I agree

I would say they are as good as the Facom and Snap on tools ive had, with a lifetime gaurantee.

Ive had a set for a few years and have gave them some stick too.

excellent price.

I can recommend them as well. I use the ratchets/bars etc on aircraft and they are great.. (but I use Craftsman sockets, purely because I need 12 point AF and Halfords don't do them any more....)
Good quality and a back up service that Snap on can only dream of...
No chasing a rep, waiting for a reply etc....

If it's in stock you will walk out with the part replaced!

AND, if you have some trade qualification papers to show them....City and Guilds, BTEC etc, you can get a trade card and get a little bit more off too
Then you get a very good discount off consumables as well (I got my battery charger,with trickle charge, reduced from £40 to £18!!!) brake bulbs, pack of two, £2.50 down to 78 pence.....

Well mines in Avionics....
They were happy with the arguement that I wanted their tools more than their filters and pads! but I still get the discount on it all

Nothing ventured, nothing gained...

Hmm.....combined course could be interesting.

Well I wouldn't pay top dollar for that type course!

I think it would be very hard to earn the outlay back....
