Halfrauds Offers

[J66P]

Not that I usually advertise anything from Halfrauds but they do currently have some cracking offers on, especially on the tooling

these are a cracking buy I have just reserved the £99 one t0o stick int he back of my truck, saves messing about getting a tool kit together when we go out

They do some good deals at this time of year as they tend to bring out new "improved" products at the start of each year. End of line stock clearances are great and they don't tend to make too much noise over them.
I only tend to buy Halfords Professional or Industrial tools these days unless they I can find a better alternative. They are all made by Sykes Pickavant and have a lifetime guarantee plus they are a damn site cheaper than some of the competitors and easier to replace (yes my Snap-On van man who never turns up when you say your going to then I have to spend half a day tracking you down to get my replacment that you have had on your van for weeks...I'm talking about you!! )

That second one the 127 piece jobby is my primary tool kit & it has done some work for me

I've had it nearly 4 years & as well as comeing out off roading with me it's the first thing I reach for when working on the truck

One or two bits have bust over time but Halfords have always replaced them without question









As you can see I'm always using it

It was the main set of tools that I used to reduce Shaky from a road going truck to scrap metal





















IMHO an excellent set of tools

Steven, were there any tools in that set that you substituted better ones for?

Only the Stanley knife & I binned the spirit level The items that I broke were the 'C' clip pliers trying to get a UJ apart without freeing the 'C' clip first with oil & tapping I also bust the tip from off of the Pozi screwdriver while hitting it with an hammer trying to budge a stuborn fixing The only item that truely fell apart was the 1/4" drive flexi joint When I picked it up one day it fell in two as it was missing a roll pin Halfords replaced the lot without another word Not the same items mind but better in the case of the 'C' clip pliers I've also added to the kit over time (a set of flexi head ratchet spanners, magnetic pick up tool, mirror on a stick, 1/2" to 3/8" reducer, 3/8" deep sockets, 3/8" larger size Torx bit set, mole grips & a small wire brush) but the basic set is very good I've just had a look @ the photo of the set that Halfords now sell & it is layed out slightly differently to mine & some of the tools have changed but I still reckon it's a good set of tools to have

Oh & the torch as I smashed the original one to bits one day

I've just been back to read the list of tools & it reads the same as my set so it must be the same

I never did understand the claw hammer & the spirit level

In my collection of tools I carry I have a stubby claw hammer, but with the claws ground off, very handy for banging in a confined space .
I might just add a spirit level, to check when I park when camping, I wouldn't want to roll out of the roof tent
