Good spot! Thanks.
Ordered a few more sets.
I have 2 of these making up the basis for my tools I use everyday at work running a fleet of Caterhams.
They are brilliant and good guarantees on them, exchanged a few ratchets already.

Have one in the garage already and now I've reserved one to go in the truck at work thanks for the heads up

Great set I have one, if you buy one make sure you keep the receipt for the lifetime warranty

RhinoRacing - 16/2/13 at 12:33 PM

Yeah good call that, i store my receipt in the bottom of the red-boxed bit set. Means you always have it with the set and it stays readable!

If any of you with this set don't use the plastic case I would be interested in taking it off you.

Cheers Mark.

If you are looking for a plastic case 'cos yours has broken, you may like to know that you can buy replacement metal catches on Ebay (I've fitted a set to mine) and if the hinges have snapped, normal hinges can be screwed in place.

I have the 90 piece set and would like the larger case to move into and add to!

I've got one you can have if you want it as I doubt I am ever likely to put the tools back in it (pretty certain I still have it in the garage somewhere but will need to double check first). Sent me a message and you can come pick it up. I am just off junction 30 of the M62, on the edge of Wakefield.

Any good call to the OP on this deal as this set is a bargain when it is at £99.99, but at this money it cant be turned down. It's a steal!!

You don't always need the receipt to get an exchange. I have taken back a couple of little bits and explained and talked nicely and they have swapped them for me...... although I did get the obligatory "Well we really should see the receipt" and then I go on to explain that I bought the set maybe 4 years ago and it has a LIFETIME WARRANTY and they surely don't expect me to keep the receipt in good readable condition for another 20-40 years. That tends to appease them a little.

I've never needed a receipt for anything i've returned, its got Halfords written on it, its not as if it could of come from anywhere else lol

I used that reason before and the response tends to be though that it is more about which store it has come from.

That is very kind.....I will be in touch.....U2U on its way.

Great link thanks. Not every day you get to save £120 on something you wanted anyway. I took them up on their previous offer of a free professional top box when buying the bottom box last year, that was another great saving

encyd - 19/2/13 at 10:45 AM

Offer is still on today! Bargain at that price

FASTdan - 25/2/13 at 12:28 PM

thanks for posting this - picked one up last week after reading :-)

TQ_uk - 11/3/13 at 11:50 AM

Deal is back on until today (but wasn't last week when I needed some Torx sockets, and had to go out and buy a small set from B&Q to do a job )

Ordered one anyway so am doubly covered for next time!

PAUL FISHER - 11/3/13 at 04:49 PM

Yes thanks for link, just got mine today

Mr G - 11/3/13 at 08:40 PM

If i'm not mistaken last time this offer was on for the 'Monday' only it was still £79.99 on the Tuesday evening past closing time, so if you reserve it tonight or tomorrow morning I'm pretty sure you'll get it for the offer price

Fantastic price considering the 120 piece set costs the same!

Mr G - 12/3/13 at 08:43 AM

Still reduced as an offer but at £99 instead now.

Rod Ends - 24/5/13 at 03:43 PM

Back at £79.99 until Tuesday.

PAUL FISHER - 24/5/13 at 04:33 PM

Its a great bit of kit, well worth the £79.99

Wadders - 24/5/13 at 06:43 PM

Thanks to the OP for the heads up, just reserved one to pick up tomorrow

Rod Ends - 9/12/13 at 05:16 PM

Back today for 1 day.
