Halfords Pro bendy ratchety awesome spanners HALF PRICE
Was in my local Halfords the other day looking at Sat Navs with me mum (living the dream I know...) and saw they had a set of 10 (8-19mm) bendy head clicky ratchet spanners, i drooled until I saw the price... £80!!! They're having a laugh I exclaimed...
Well, someone must've heard me as the very next day I went in and they were a on sale for a more reasonable £40: Linky Just in case anyone was interested

I've got a set of them and they're pretty good, not 80 quid good but good. I got mine for about £40 a couple of years ago

they are currently doing a set of screw drivers free when you buy 5L of semi or fully synth oil.

Re: Halfords Pro bendy ratchety awesome spanners HALF PRICE
Lifetime guarantee, not a fan tho, I prefer a socket set with shorty spanners for working on cars and bikes, there isn't always the space to swing the ratchet bit. Knuckle head spanners are more useful IMHO

Re: Halfords Pro bendy ratchety awesome spanners HALF PRICE
they are always £40, except when they put them up to £80 for a few weeks in order to offer them at half price again!
(They are really good spanners mind) |

The ratchet will eventually break (well the one on my 8mm did anyway), and leave you with a one ended spanner, and the ratchet isn't covered by the lifetime guarantee. |

Re: Halfords Pro bendy ratchety awesome spanners HALF PRICE
What oil do you have to buy to get the free screwys? Bike's just about ready for a service. Might have to make a dreaded halfrauds buy(providing it's not crap oil/usual halfords priceing)...although I get staff discount which is a plus
