Where Do People Get There Tools From?

[Ben3991]

Hellooooo,
just wondering where people buy there spanners and wrenches from lol. May seem a bit weird but i cant justify spending £100 on a set of spanners lol. Or is it just me?


Thanks

halfords lifetime garantee tools..

[bald24]

Spend alot, they last and will be used for years :)

[Cupra-Craig]

Halfords but get the pro tools

[Ren]

Quality tools are expensive :) You get what you pay for :P

Snap on...............

[Tommo87]

Snap-on/Teng and just trying some new stuff Britool which seem half decent.

snap-on

I tend to go for Britool or Snapon that i just get from the vans. Or for cheap tools the better quality Clarkes ones from Machinemart are not to bad really. The ratchets perhaps are not the best in the world but the basic spanners are ok.

Snap-on if you own a BMW dealership, britool if your in trade or halfords pro range if you want decent tools to work on your car at home.. Simples

[Ben3991]

ok thanks guys, didnt think halfords would be so popular for tools :P, i only think id buy snap on and spend that much money if I used them for work/garage etc lol

[KrisB]

Depends what kind of tools i'm getting.

If its spanners / ratchets and sockets then halfords.

If it's electrical or get used all the time then snapon. Like my impact gun

If it's hydraulic then i usually phone pma (my parts supplier) and get through them, usually draper or sealey.

all of my tools and tool box is supplied by Mac Tools.

also helps that a mate and his dad cover 2 back to back regions in the south east, so 90% of what i want i only pay what they can get it in for.

plus i have a couple of Mac stickers on the car with there name within, Mac Mugs in the work van and several of Mac Polo's for work.

nothing wrong with halfords pro range pretty decent and if they do break take it back and you get a replacement for free, cant say fairer than that

[Ben3991]

cheers peoples

[Viper]

plenty of tools on sax-p

see what i did there? ;)

Snap-on are the ones i like.

[steve_335]

Halfords preo range is good but keep the receipt, personally i prefer snap on, i work in a ford dealership and can pay weekly intrest free with snap-on

[CHIP]

I get mine from work for free :D

[sparky771]

I have alot of sealey tool which have a lifetime garantee. we get a snap-on van in on mondays at work so i may be gettin a few bits at the end of the month :D

MAC tools are good too

Snap on is an absolute ripoff these days!

Cheap stuff rebranded and with the price over quadrupled. Seriously, if you know the trade well enough, virtually everything bar the main tools(spanners, sockets, ratchets & torque wrenches) is made by another big company that also sell tools, often the exact same models, much cheaper.

And before you get all high and mighty on me, i have my dads huge snap on tool chest and a load of his snap on tools. But when i buy my own, halfords pro on trade card, lifetime guarantee and they are quite nice to use! So far i've broken virtually all of the ratchet spanners(they are gear wrench, same as snap on pretty much) and had them replaced. Broken a load of torx and hex bits, all replaced, broken a few 1/2" extensions and they replaced them as well!

[J222JRA]

Have to agree with AlexR........personally i use alot of Halfords Pro Range Tools....any problems or anything breaks just take it back and they replace it free of charge.

Always helps when you have a trade card as well.........good discounts ftw

[Mint-VTR]

strap on and halfords advancerd

[-Alex-]

I have heard on the grape vine that a company called BluePoint (IIRC) use the same specification's as snap-on, but they are made in Canada instead of the US.

[girlracer1597]

All my stuff is teng, havent broken anything yet :) and I have broke snap on stuff in the past!

[Kelvin]

Mac is far superior to Snap on, and almost twice the size of the company over in the US.

Mac Tools, the tools by choice for Chip Foose :)
