Halfords Trade Card

[Polarbear]

Has anyone got one?

I've been trying to get one for my boat work. I fill all the crap in on line and that's it, nothing ever happens, no confirming/denying e-mail. Nothing at all.

Are they not doing them anymore or am I fcuking up somewhere?

I lost mine some weeks go, they said they arent replacing it as they are closing the trade card discount.

BUT.

This is the same store that wanted to sell me brake shoes for my TL1000R.

Bugga. I've got a trade card, I'll have to nip in and see what's going on.

[Polarbear]

TBH I wonder how they keep going. I only go in there when I can't get what I need straight away at Screwfix or Toolstation and its always empty.

Once you've signed up online you should receive an email something along the lines of

'Blah blah blah visit your local store with your proof of trade to complete your application'.

I know it's fashionable to hate on Halfords or should that be Halfrauds here on BCF. I'm not a sheep and personally I like it you can get some good deals.

I've reserved X2 of these for KITT which is a good price. I sort of want the 200 piece socket set which is currently only £135 but I don't really need any more tools.

I have a trade card for Halfords and have started using it a lot for the basics like oil/fuel filters, brake pads and tools. With the discount, they are about the same price as Dingbro, Europarts etc.
IIRC, I applied for the card in-store. They asked for proof that I worked in the trade

Used mine yesterday for some bulbs, no mention of them stopping them. Although that doesn't mean they wont, i guess. I'll ask next time im in there.

FWIW I've abused the f**k out of my £70, 206 piece Lidl set and it's still going strong. With the lifetime guarantee thing (Snap-on do as well), you're more likely to lose something than wear it out IMO.

My Lidl one ain't

I've picked up the 200 pc kit that bumder is talking about, in black, so I know whether they're nicking my bits at work.

Quick noticeable niggle was the ratchets aren't as smooth as my Teng one. Or the cheap set I got from Amazon.

Only problem with these 200 piece kits, is that half of it is imperial, which is great if you have an old British or American car, therefore half the kit is useless to the average user.

I found a trade card and used it for years until I lost it, hopefully someone else found it and continued the legacy

I would check to see if your work offer one of those "perks at work" type programs with giftcards, I can get 9% off via instant e-codes at Halfords, not as good as trade but it works on everything at least.
