Default Halfords Advanced Socket set

Anyone wanting to get a good starter set, then this looks to be a good deal

£90

All my sockets are Halfords & I'm plenty happy with it.

Snap On it isn't but the Advanced range is plenty good enough for the home mechanic

Confession time.
I have a 32 mm socket and 24 mm combi spanner in my box at work.
They are fine.

Just watch the hinges on the socket set. My 170 piece one has broke on the hinges

Bloody good value tools, in my opinion. I'd have no worries about buying them.

And if you are after cheap tools, avoid anything branded Silverline...
