It's that time again when it is reduced to half price.

Ditto above, I've got that one, highly recommended.

The only slight niggle I can even mention is that the sockets use different size drives depending on the size of the socket. So for the small sockets you have to use a small ratchet, which I find irritating.

All my sockets used to be 1/2" drive. So you've just be swapping bits.

But it's fantastic quality.

Once you've got some screwdrivers and pliers, you literally need no other tools.

i'd get the kamasa 150pc kit for £80 instead. better and cheaper.

its on ebay. Just type kamasa 150 or something. Its a big green box.
I got mine 4 years ago from trago mills but found it for near enough that price last night.
The ratchets are much smoother, and they're strong as fuck.

Ive only managed to break 2 of them. The 1/2 ratchet broke being used as a hammer, and the 3/8 broke with a 1/2 adapter and 2 feet of tube on the end. It didnt snap though, it just slips sometimes now.

Also imo the finish and durability is better than the snap on toolchests i use at work

Thats good, but atleast with the halfords stuff if you break it you can take it back and have it replaced with the lifetime garuntee and all.

The thing that annoys me with this sort of thing are the imperial tools.

I think it would probably be better value to buy a 1/2" and another 3/8" drive socket set that are only metric.

The Kamasa set on eBay is £90 plus £5 delivery so it's six and two threes really. But what I will say is that my dad has some Kamasa sockets in a metal box and he's had them ages, long enough for the metal box to virtually disintegrate. AFAIK all the sockets are in very good nick too.

It's okay, I'm not dissing anyone, I just find it funny that you would need 150...to do what with? Do you all work on many different types of engines...? Or is it a case of 'just having it in your shed?'

I guess it's a blokes thing, having such a large set of tools, when for a bike you maybe only actually need about seven different sockets...?

Agreed with above!

And it's so much easier to think, "Oh, this stupid bolt's 11mm, I'll go and get one from the set".

Than "Balls, I need to go to Halfords because I don't have an 11mm spanner".

When I intially forked out for this set I winced at the thought of spending £99 on tools alone. But after a couple of years use it's been an outstanding investment. It's made any bike maintainance I carry out a great deal easier and removed the stress of trying to find where I'd left tools.

There are plenty of other options out there but if your considering the Halfords set don't hesitate!

If you live in Redditch or nearby most of the local carboots carry Halfrauds tools as they have a big warehouse in the area
