Title: Great deal at Halfords!
Post by: UKJeeper on September 23, 2007, 12:19:07: Spotted these while shopping for bits this morning!

Swivel head Racheting Spanner sets (http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_216036_langId_-1_CarSelectorCatalogId__CarSelectorGroupId__varient__categoryId_76864_crumb_33958-76859_parentcategoryrn_76864). Usually Â£60, currently Â£40! :shock: (ignore the 'out of stock' BS, they were on the shelf instore!)

They are the same ones i bought in the US a couple of years ago, great tools.

Go get 'em!

The photo shows fixed head ratchets spanners but the text talks about flexible head ratchet spanners.

I bought the flexi head version and they are excellent - if you need flexible heads.

If you dont need flexi heads - by fixed heads.

They do have a better set with more spanners for Â£60 (not listed on web). When I have the cash, this is the one for me.

When I got mine, it was the fixed head ones that were supposed to be on offer, but I went into the store and got a very good price on the swivel heads.

Post by: fudge on September 23, 2007, 15:49:15: So far I've broken a 13mm Pro Ratchet Spanner and a 13mm Pro range socket and they just swapped them both, no questions asked..... and for the record it wasn't on the same bolt!

Post by: Wolfie on September 23, 2007, 18:53:54: I also have a set, though mine say Draper on them as my local Draper stockist is closer and does them at a very good price :D Looking at the Halfords ones I think I know who makes them for them.

Must take a wander over again soon and see what takes my fancy.

The 18V Impact Driver come highly reccomended, wouldn't go anywhere without it now.

Post by: davidlandy on September 24, 2007, 22:09:05: I must admit to finding the halfords pro stuff very good. I prefer the fixed to the swivel head spanners.

bought one of these a while back when it was on offer for 99 - its a great set
