Halfords tools are worth it if you buy the Pro stuff - with which, most carries a lifetime guarantee. I have quite a few bits of Halford Pro stuff in my toolbox that I use on a daily basis - spanners (plain and ratchet-end) and a couple of their ratchets and sockets, and so far none of it has ever let me down..... I have a fair bit of Snap On stuff and I wouldn't bother changing my ratchets or sockets for Snap On equivalents. Maybe the ratchets if I got em cheap enough as the bearings in the Halfords ratchets aren't guaranteed for life (the ratchet it, just not the bearings inside) whereas Snap On's are (cos they are sealed units you can't oil)
