I have all of their different socket sets and their three tier tool cabinets, cant fault them especially with a lifetime g'tee. the only thing I broke was my 1/4 ratchet which they replace with no qualms.
I joined the Halfords Pro Tool movement today. A mate won a set in a raffle and he had no interest in them so I got a 200 piece off him for a little over a £100. So tomorrow all my odds and sods sockets, ratchet spanner etc will be going. Hopefully it will reduce the time spent digging in the tool box for the wrong sized spanner or socket.
Well chuffed.

I would not throw away your old tools as they will always come in handy at sometime
I agree with your sentiment, but they are part of a greater psychological issue
Same here - My Grand-daughter had exactly the same experience (mind you the breaker bar prolly didn't give it much chance (;-)) She is apprenticed to a truck servicing outfit and all the guys there swear by Halfords Professional range - and - even more than Landy stuff - it's much heavier work than your normal family saloon.I bought a torx bit set, the professional range, and managed to snap one through my own stupidity. Took it back and the guy in the shop just said "no proble
m, lifetime guarantee" and handed me a new one.
I simply don't have the room to keep old tools which is why i have bitten the bullet and finally invested in compact toolsets. Incidentally the new tools came in handy when i fitted my spot light brackets yesterday. Today the rear work light goes on.
I bought one of the 1/4" drive pro socket sets thinking it would come in handy every few years but turns out to be one of the most useful things I have bought gets used all the time, pity I broke the box though.I've got a small 1/4 drive set which I bought at least 20 years ago and I think they were marked Expert in those days. Its really been through the mill on a variety of cars, bikes and printing machines but it's never let me down. I was honestly ready to slag it off when I bought it in an emergency, but I really can't find a fault.
Damn right - never a borrower or a lender be - if you lend it it either does not come back or comes back half broke. If you borrow kit it invariably breaks so you buy the guy a new one - give it back -and still don't have one yourself.one main thing i've learnt about tools
is never ever do i lend them out to anyone , even my brothers would be out of luck
