Bought one of these from Halfords from their Professional range:

Half price and a lifetime no quibbles gtee.

Fed up with rounding nuts and breaking stuff and always not having the right tool.

Really pleased with it 8)

same as the set i got duncan, pretty pleased with it and ideal for what i need, and if you break a ratchet or something they replace it so cant be bad

slow_matt got this set the other week, we've been putting the tools to good use on the Pug and we havnen't broken any yet so they must be good!

I killed all my 10mm sockets the other day trying to undo the thermostat bolts and dropped my 12mm socket into the engine bay somewhere :lol: so I had to get some new ones - this seemed like the complete lot. The only thing missing from what I can see is a 14mm ratchet spanner but I have lived this long without one I guess I will survive

Given my trade i have 90% of my stuff from Snap-On. It has cost me a fortune... however i too have a set of Halfords Professional spanners and cant fault them for quality.

Its not Snap-On quality but its damn close and for the money i think you be far pressed to better their professional range.

Nice purchase Dunc.

I have 3 sets of rachet spanners from SnapOn and Britool that i keep very close to my heart recently bought for my WRX-STi conversion. Stubby combination from Britool, double ended angled rings from SnapOn and combination flexible from SnapOn.
Bloody good tools, all brand new, and got great deals off Ebay for similar money to Halfrauds equivalent which i think are also very good as i have some Halfrauds flexible extension bars and metric sockets. :smt060

That 150piece Professional set looks really good for starting off a nice collection :thumb:

P.S. Duncan..... I have a pen with a long retractable rod and flexible magnet on the end which has fished out many screws, nuts, spanners etc...from my engine bay. Only cost
