Default HALFORDS TOOLS ?

Are they any good

A bit late on asking i suppose just been there and bought 150 piece tool kit ( reduced from £150 ) to £99.99 so had a look and seemed to have everything , so hope it will last , seemed ok for the money and it looks good too lol

Just odd jobs for me nothing major ( i hope )

The professional range are fantastic quality and awesome value, anything not in the pro range is generally made of scooby pistons.

Good tools - but what an annoying box they come in.

Excellent no quibble guarantee (no receipt needed) we have broke about 6 items upto now and all have been replaced without asking ANY questions.

I've got their pro socket set. Been very impressed with it so far.



£99

With the cash I saved I got a tool kit for the wife as well.

I've had a complete socket set from them for years and it never let me down, only the allen things are a little dubious.

Also saw a review of torque wrenches and their professional ones weren't far off the top of the range items in terms of accuracy.

Great value for money imo

I've got a Halford Professional 3/8 ratchet which I used when I needed to hook a 32mm spanner over the end etc to save abusing my Snap-on ratchet.

Snap on ratchet has needed a new ratchet kit for a while so I've just been using the Halfords one full time. Indestructable
