the very nice chaps at halfords...
been eyeing up a tool set a halfords for some time and yesterday thought I'd treat myself ....

got in there and all the prices had been removed, so the 200 set that had been reduced to 100 was no more. when I asked I was told it was 250 !!!

turns out I was getting confused between the 150 piece set and the 170 set.....

any how at the back of the shop there was another display with the same tool sets and prices in place so I enquired if they'd do me the 200 set reduced to 100 (150 piece).....said yes but could do me a deal on the 170 piece set for 130 not 250. agreed it was a good deal but I couldn't afford the extra 30.

they then very kindly offered me the 170 piece set for 100 !!! Very Happy

so I've got me a 250 set for 100 - I'm well happy and have to say I think they're professional kits are very good. good selection of kit and good quality.

I'm a happy bunny.

Bravo! You deserve some good luck Thumbs Up
Perhaps Halfords can give LR a few lessons Wink
Hope you have a great Christmas Mr. Green

cheers Matt / mate.

I'm very much on the verge of giving LR one chance after hitting them with a letter.

what I mean by one last chance is chopping mine in for a new one. Confused


in the mean time I'll keeping smiling by opening up my new toolbox and having a peep Very Happy

Currently 125 on halfords website, order before 12pm and get it for 112.50. I assume it's the same one?

TACK.

yes thats the one ! so a good deal as I thought at 100. I was hoping to walk away with the 150 piece set at 100. to walk away with the 170 I'm well Very Happy

have had the socket sets for tool chest for sometime now and although they don't get a huge amount of action are like new..

a few oil changes and pad replacements and they've paid for themselves.

Likewise for me when I bought a torque wrench earlier this year (not from Halfords) paid for it's self 5x over just on the EGR valve change I completed myself alone.
