Halfords profession range are very good IMO, lifetime guarantee and the quality of the tools ive used is good. Also have some good offers on them + if you know a mate with a halfords trade card, you can get some good prices :)

Cant go wrong with halfords tools, plus no complaints when they break. Always doing offers there buy 2 get 3rd free, possibly still on at the moment.

Worse thing is I work for a trade company and they always get tools in there.

Latest purchase was a

i use mainly halfords and snap-on

but have sealy, seigen, blue point, bacho and stanley

tools are as good as you use them.

if u break it then it wasnt desighned to do the job u want it to do.


ie crank bolt on a 2ltr red top with a halfords 3/8 rachet and a 5 foot scafold pole :ashamed:
