Yes, and a Lifetime warranty on the Pro range.

HOWEVER.... KEEP the RECIEPT. I took my ratchet in for replacement and they refused to change it, as I didnt have the reciept.
After a LOT of arguing, even with the Store Manager, they gave me a repair kit for free.
Tool now fixed, but I'm not a happy customer!

They have a discreet notice re the reciept and warranty in the tool section.

So BE WARNED.

Other than that the Pro range tools have been excellent over the last 7 or 8 years that I have had them. Very good value, even without the 50% off.

DONT buy their basic tools they are pants. Their professional range is good but like the other chap said they wont replace without receipt.
If anyone works there, they get a discount or any mechanics on here should get a trade discount, dunno if it covers their tools tho!
maybe someone on here can help you...

Yep, a Halfrauds trade card coves tools and you get quite a good discount too. They won't give you trade discount if an item is already in a sale though.

I have their pro kit and its alright tbh. I've had 1 screwdriver break in years and years and a ratchet strip. I took the ratchet back to Dundee and they weren't bothered with the receipt, they just wouldn't change it anyway. Said that its a moving part so wasn't covered despite my arguing that the whole tool is a moving part and is useless without the ratchet mechanism and so is not actually covered by the warranty.
Still, it was a humungous weight that stripped it and the ratchet mech wasn't too dear really.
Once bought a girlfriend a set for christmas, she wasn't impressed really

You still can't beat ebay bargains even when Halfords sell their stuff cheap. I got one of Bahco's finest for £51 delivered, highly impressed with the quality.

Halfords come with a lifetime guarantee if you keep the reciept and you do get a ciscount with a trade card even on sale items, or at least I do.
