Halfords tool kits

Halfords got 50% of some of their basic tool kits, i know this might not be the best quality but at £49 may be a handy starter tool kit christmas pressent

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.







1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

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.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

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.
