I have a couple of comments to make on my past experience with tackle so here goes

1) Halfords are total and complete txxxxrs. I bought there 150 peice set(i think) £150 at the time so thought no probs when I broke a torques. Took it back and was told some rubbish to push me away from it being replaced. Any how just recently taken back a 1/2 inch breaker bar that I broke the end off only to be told that I need proof of purchase.(It has halfords stamped in it) I even tried to bu the part that it needs to put it right but to no avail. Then a friend was telling me the other day that the ink that there receipts are printed with is designed to only last a short period.(dont know how true)

2) Snap on are for sure going down the pan IMO I purchased a set of grips recently and when my dealer came round the week after I expressed my views on them and he kind of seemed to agree and said that he was in talks with Irwin and once a deal was sorted would be happy to change them.
