Default Re: Tools, Halfords Advanced general tools

I love my ratchet spanners. I find them good if you are at full stretch and the wieght of a socket hinders your movement. Mine are Sealy btw. I have 1 item of Hal;fords toolage, and it broke about 3 months in, and that was a Huge Torque wrench, bought for doing up car wheels bearings. Even 3 months in, (this was a few years ago) Halfords didnt want to replace it as it was the ratchet that went. All manner of greif ensued. I still have it and the ratchet part doesnt work. Theys aid i had put too much pressure on the ratchet! Its a 300ft/lb torque wrenc ffs...thats me jumping up and down on it and then some! Idiots. Id never buy tools from them to be honest. I prefer a mixture. I have all manner of stuff, Clarke Pro, Sealy, Snap-off, Draper pro etc etc
