i got one of these sets and they are spot on......broke one of the allen sockets a little while back and they changed it no problem at all.

I paid £170 a few years back so a great bargain now!!

You don't need your receipt, I have taken three items back that have broken and never had an issue, as each piece clearly says Halfords on it, and it can't be bought from anywhere else, so they have always honoured it.

Most stores would normally swap it over anyways, I certainly would.

The kits are great, had one for awhile now, cant beat it really.

i've not broke a ratchet yet, but as long as it's got "halfords" stamped into the side of it, my local store swaps it over

but that my be because i had the grumps one day and decided the need to speak to the manager was in order

after that, everything has been sweet as you cuold ever hope for

they are on offer most of the time and i'm sure they still come up as £100 on the halfords trade card when they are not on offer!

it's easier to get the tools changed over if they do break with halfords snap on kick up a fuss!
