Cheap Tools

I knew that would get most of the forum users attention.

I've just read a thread by Daveluck regarding a broken pulley and he was pleased with the fact that he may have a great excuse to buy some additional tools.

I just thought it was worth mentioning to the group, for if you don't have all day everyday to sit in front of a computer (like myself) that Halfords are doing a half price sale on most of their socket sets both on-line and in store.

The Halfords advanced stuff has a lifetime guarantee which I can vouch for as I have broken and swapped a number of items with them historically with no fuss what so ever.

I know they are not the best quality tools, but when a £300 comprehensive socket / spanner set is coming in at £150 then it can't be sniffed at I don't think and makes a great start to a good set of tools.

It may be worth leaving the home PC / tablet logged on and the web page set to the preferred socket set of choice to see if the other half may take the hint for a Christmas gift...

I hope someone finds this info useful.
