Just waiting for them to open the new store over the road and they can replace my T50

Had the set about 4 years now and its the first thing to break

Ratchets are a bit wank now

All my tools are Halfords stuff - They are superb and never had any problems bar the ratchets wearing out if used heavily - Something and nothing really

i got one of the slightly older sets just as they brought the new ones out. only difference is it doesnt say advanced and the case is a slightly different lay out. was working part time for a branch while at uni so got my staff discount on top of the half price (trade wont get it cheaper than £99.99) so i got mine for £85.

not bad at all for that price although i do wish more sockets were 1/2 inch drive.
