Tool Kits.

[D4N]

Well my dad has had to move out the house (divorce) and well he has took all his tools so im left with nowt..

 

Which is the best large tool kit/s you can get?

 

Any sugestions?

[BIG G]

seally do some good kits but halfords do some good quality gear

[stevepeanut]

mine is a mix of draper stuff from machine mart and halfords pro. Halfords pro stuff is really good. Avoid cheap tools though, waste of money.

halfords stuff is good for the money , my set has has taken plenty of abuse , the only thing i've broken is a small ratchet handle

[D4N]

I can not find big sets on the halfords website. Are they not on there website or am i just useless

[dave waudby]

halfords have full gaurantee too so if you break one and take it back they replace it

 

they do quite big socket sets plus they sell loads of spanners screw drivers singly and sockets extension bars rachets etc

 

ive got a lot of halfords stuuf and some draper stuff

snap on do a blue point kit with 1/4 drive, 3/8 drive, spanners, and allen bits for around £130. all in 1 case. had mine a couple years and its been good.

This is the set i have, and would recomend it to anyone.

And its half price at the mo.

 

Have had it a few years and only broken a couple of bits, and like some of the other lads have said, they have a lifetime warranty so they just exchange anything you manage to break

Yes, or look on ebay

 

That blue point kit was on offer a while ago for £99, looked like a fairly good deal but you could probably get similar quailty for much cheaper.

tell ya what still makes me giggle, the numpy on here that had a go at me and said I was ripped off when I spent £200 on a halfords tool cabinet. It was a double cabinet on wheels and was half price in the sale. He said I was a mug paying that cos it didn't come full of tools!

 

It would cost thousands to kit that out with really good tools

ive always eyed the halfords tool chests up because i cant affoerd snapon

 

my tool chest is a old chest of draws in my shed lol

 

it works for me, it does actually have halford/ draper tools in it

[aaron1980]

i get most of my tools off of ebay but i only buy new unopened snapon. best tools by far and you can save loads over the van prices

[dawesy1700]

if you can get one lads, get a halfords trade card, you get all tools and service parts discounted, i have one and its great, and they are cheaper than part co on lots of stuff with the card, our lass bought a set of wipers for her new corsa, on the shelf at £14.95, i paid £4.75 with my trade card, whoop! defo worth getting one if you can.

Why get any tools, when all you need are these two tools
