Lifetime guarantee too

i got one of these sets for xmas last year. damn sure it wasn't £350 to buy then. I'm sure they make these RRP's up to make you think you're getting more of a bargain than you are.
Having said that, it's a brilliant set and does all I need as a home mechanic.

I bought one of these to stop me ruining my snap on stuff and its spot on. Think i might buy another at that price to carry about and have at home.

No way they're £350 normally! Pretty sure I've never seen that set above £199 whenever I've been in a store and looked at them.

Still a good set though, and a good deal at £135 for sure.

Popped into Halfords yesterday to buy a couple of brake line flare nut spanners while they had their 15% off offer going.

Wanted 9x11 & 10x12 sizes, priced at £5.29 & £5.49 respectively.

Got to the till and the 9x11 scanned as a 7mm combo spanner at £3.99, then the muppet on the till tried to work out in his head what 15% of £9.48 was. He came up with £3.00, which he then took off my total, making the two spanners £6.48.

I said thanks very much, and f****d off out the door before he changed his mind.

The older sets didn't have 11 ratchet spanners, just ring spanners.
