Looks like Halfords have currently got their 12 piece ratchet spanners set on offer at £30 less than the smaller 9 piece set.

12 piece set currently £50
9 piece £80

I've had and used the larger set for a few years and they regularly get a battering, handy to have a 16mm to

£50 is the normal price. Looks like they are putting some things up to the "normal " price , If you look ate the 170 pc socket set against the 200pc ( black and chrome versions ) set , you will see what I mean.

I am hoping it means that tomorrow they will have a bit of a sale.

Cheers

The only thing I do not like about them is that you cannot tell looking at them which way the ratchet turns?

I have two sets, I have sprayed them both on one side so that I see this if I am tightening a normal rh thread bolt.

Ratchet spanners and buttered toast are prime examples of Sod's Law in action
