Halfords, discount on tools

[Sargara]

Spotted this on Hotukdeals, figured it might be useful to some people here too being car related:

It basically means you can get things like their 200pc set with Lifetime guarantee for £127:

Not too shabby

Good spot, ...I do like Halfords Professional tools range especially because of their life time guarantee.

I picked up that exact set for £125 in the Black Friday deal last year - it's awesome

I've got their trade card, well handy and has saved me mucho £s over the last year

They had 50% off all their professional range on bank holiday monday. I popped in there for some car shampoo and spent ages trying to find a tool I dont have already in order to take advantage of the offer. Unfortunately couldnt find anything I needed! Gutting really as i paid full price for most of my stuff over the years.

Yep same here. Doesn't work on everything but some things are so cheap with the card it's just ridiculous at times.

 

I bought a Halfords Professional 30 piece screwdriver & bit set a few weeks ago. RRP was £40 I believe and it was on offer already for £19.99, ....used my trade card and it came down to £15. Bargain.

That socket set is a bargain. I'm tempted to get another one at that price tbh.

[jowen7448]

It does make a kind of frustrating that I must own about half of th contents of this set at more cost than the 127. But that same fact stops me wanting to buy the set as I will be doubling up on so many bits.

 

Although I reckon you could buy some now at this price and sell them on at a profit once the deal has ended on run up to fathers day and christmas.

Make sure you keep the receipt. Me and Chris have identical sets and break about 1 socket a week.

 

Quality compared to 5 years ago is utterly shite

That's a shame to hear, i have that exact set but from maybe 7 years ago. Only thing I've broken is the 1/4 ratchet because I was a bit drunk and thought it was totally ok to use as a breaker bar with a pipe on the end.

I've got a set from perhaps 7-8 years ago (smaller set but still fairly hefty but only a half inch). Absolutely unbreakable. No play in the ratchet and everything is properly clunkclick

 

Talked Chris into buying a set each on the basis of that set......new ones are turd. Lifetime guarantee so not major shakes but as a business it's a PITA digging the receipt out and going back every 5 minutes.

That's a shame to hear, i know a lot of the mechanics at work liked to get the halfords professional stuff instead of snap on. I guess halfrauds couldn't resist digging more money out of their customers.

[Ekona]

Snap On are ridiculously over-priced. I paid £250 for a set of needle nose pliers and some 1/4 and 5/6 extension wobble joints, utter rip off.

 

They're good, but they ain't that good.
