cant see the woods for the trees  cheers pal

was only hoping to pay something likt 60-70 quid, but i suppose the lifetime guarentee is worth it

you have to go for the pro halfords tool kit, its only £20 to £30 more expensive but its well worth it, ive had mine for about 5 years now and not had an issue.

i think some people are quite snobby when it comes to tools as i have a mate who wont use it because it says "Halfords" on it, a halfords 10mm spanner does exactly the same as a "Snap On" 10mm spanner for a fraction of the price lol when i told him this he had no come back....

suppose itl be a bit cheeper too with my mates discount 

[james2]

the halfords advanced/ professional has lifetime warranty.   the other stuff is mostly cheese based

+1 .

Have the black plastic one the bigger one and ive had it for over 2 years and love it... most of the time its in my boot and you would be surprised how many times its helped me and my mates out of an evening.. only thing that is crap is the screwdriver as the plastic handle slides off but i just stick the small ratchet on the end 

[james2]

cheap= crap. Good for a diy job. Mole grips suck. 

[Agreeable Slick]

The ratchets are not lifetime guarantee though. It can depend on the store as to how strict they are on that though.

also been looking at these two

These 2 are complete sh!t my lorry driver mate has both and they aren't worth 20p, he keeps them in his lorry for any work he needs to do but I always have to take my tools to do the job as these things break easier than matchsticks! and a warranty isn't any good on a Saturday/Sunday afternoon over 20 miles from the nearest halfords.

Another mate has the one clancy suggested it is better but still not very good as the ratchet spanners wear out and slip.

I used to buy cheap tools but it's not really worth it when they break and have to be replaced, I used to buy at least 2 drills per year as they used to wear out being used as much as they were, I'd pay between £80 to £100 per drill and got fed up having to replace them so bought a makita for £350 and I've now had it 5 years and it's like new.

Socket sets are the same I'd pay £25 for one and it would last a few months, I bought a draper expert set, nothing special, for £150 had that 5 years now and only 1 socket has broken, I'm not snobby about which tools I use or anything like that, it's just normally a false economy to buy cheap ones.

what tools you buy is very user specific.   the mixture of makes and diffrent qualitys of tools in my workshop is incredible.

i allways have at least a coupke of full sets of elcheepo spanners and sockets for adjusting or jobs where you know there going to get droped in places that there not coming back from. 
then decent makes for daily spannering,  but all tools have a use.

i would say halfords pro or draper expert is ideal for the home mecanic , they arn't the best but there good enough and cheep enough the likes of snap-on, teng, facom, signet ect are tools that cost a damb sight more but you use earn your wage.

the really cheep stuff is best left allone thally just cost you lots a skin and a broken finger or two
