remember that "oy get what you pay for", those spanners and sockets wont be able to take some proper hammer and chances are you will start rounding stuff off

This is very true... but... then you use your decent snap on stuff....
Snap on at work...
Cheap stuff for road side repairs!

All halfords stuff comes with a lifetime guarntee, all my sockets and spanners have.

nope.. only halfords professional... normal halfords and other makes dont
plus...i highly rate the halfords professional... life time guarentee... and very good quality.. only things that let them down are their ratchet torx bits which seems to split :)

tbh, doesnt look like a bad deal, for some little repairs n stuff it doesnt look to bad, might have to go get one :)

Snap-On.. The best of the best... over priced for what they are.. Halfords Professional and Clarks... are of the same sort of standard.. and you get life time guarentees.. and alot cheaper..

not really a bargain tbh guys!!!! you can go to makro's and get that set for £49.99 (inc VAT) and its not on special offer thats there retail price there LOLS.
so halfords are just price matching thats all.
so its not a bargain its just a marketing ploy to make you think its a bargain LOLS for not everyone has a makro card ;)

Just bought them.
tobs i dont agree, theyre fine for what some people will be using them for. whats the point in forking out extra on something which (for me) will pretty much do the same job.
Seem pretty solid to me.
Plus i got a 15% discount on top of that offer :)
