Out of stock online, phone your local shop and quote "439243" and get them to search on their system to see if they've got any left. The set is £50 because they've got a new version of it in and its a case of finding any old stock left.
May have to travel to get one, if at all: luck of the draw.
If they haven't ask them to have a look to see if any surrounding stores are showing stock, and if you do manage to get one reserve it over the phone.
Happy hunting. ____________________ The do it all, T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶,̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶i̶g̶ ̶l̶u̶m̶p̶,̶ ̶C̶h̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶N̶o̶o̶d̶l̶e̶ |

Just an FYI, the ratchet spanners are one way, not the ones with the gear selector thingy to change direction. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

If you turn them around they go the other way. The ring is symmetrical around the main axis of the handle so it shouldn't make much difference flipping them over. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4

Can you really compare such a brand to Halfords, though? I've seen Ed China use Teng tools in Wheeler Dealers but never in person have I seen the quality. I mention Ed because as a competent mechanic, and someone that works on cars regularly, they must stand up to the abuse. Teng looks good but the price point is perhaps a little OTT for someone that only does the occasional bit here and there.
I agree with the small bits being a bit wonky, mind. I've got the 1/4 modular tray and noticed the same thing.
I managed to get one of these and their not bad for the price. With a 1/2 ratchet costing £25 (or just under) on its own and the ratchets £50 on their own there's savings already; and versus the modular tray's that would cost far more for near the same thing.
This set has mostly 1/2 and 3/8 extension bars, and only one 1/4 extension bar. Case is a bit flimsy (all the bottom main bits can easily move around, and fall out, if opened the wrong way). ____________________ The do it all, T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶,̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶i̶g̶ ̶l̶u̶m̶p̶,̶ ̶C̶h̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶N̶o̶o̶d̶l̶e̶ |

I do have some bits of Teng scattered about my workshop, including a 3/8" ratchet which was a similar price to the Halfords one. The quality is noticeably better, and I got a set of non ratchet Teng spanners from a bike subscription offer years ago, they do feel nicer than the Halfords ones, but maybe that's just me.
I would rather compare the two than say, Snap-On. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.
