Pros: value for money, proper quality ratchets sockets spanners & bits, a lifetime guarantee they stand by, all with good service.
Cons: the plastic case isn't great but it's ok., universal joints could be a weak point
"I bought this socket set in December 2006 and it has served me well, the tools are well constructed and durable, and the set includes most of what you'll need when working on cars.
I bought my socket set after quite a lot of research online. The Halfords Pro range does have a good reputation amongst professionals; yes, proper mechanics can often be found using these tools. That's all I needed to know to buy my set!
I've had two things break on me. A Torx 30 bit and a 1/2" Universal Joint.
I was placing a lot of pressure on the Torx bit when it sheared - perhaps too much. However, half a pin dropped out of the Universal Joint the first time I used it and I believe that was due to a manufacturing defect or weakness in the design. Halfords replaced both - the Torx bit under the guarantee, and the Universal Joint as a gesture of goodwill (as moving parts are not normally included in the guarantee). I was very happy with this service.
I will certainly buy Halfords Pro tools again."

Pros: every tool you require in one box.
"Bought this as wanted to replace several much older and smaller tool kits, all of which are life expired. First job undertaken was a service on a modern Sports bike. The 150 piece set had all the tools I required from Hex keys throug ring spanners and plug renches. All had a high quality feel and did the job without fuss. I found myself looking for other nuts bolts etc, I coud try the tools out on. I am off now to get the Halfords Torque wrench to complete this fantastic set."

"Fantastic set of quality tools and great value, made even more affordable with 50% off. These sockets and ratchets are easy to work with and have a solid, quality feel to them. I can't find any fault and would be hard pushed to say there is anything missing from the kit."

"got this at half price plus 10% off if you ordered before midnight xmas.
Great value. Checked out simular makes this by far the best. only second to snap on at fraction of cost . great for changing my wheel cylinders and brake shoes on ldv pick up.
only one gripe could have done with a 11mm combination spanner"

Pros: super reliable warranty, high quality tooling, handy case and sturdy latches
Cons: fluctuating price, trting to keep the reciept good!
"I bought the exact kit 12 years ago when they first came out, and still regularly use it to this day.
I have broken loads of allen, tor-x and standard sockets, and even a 3/8 extension, all through misuse generally!
Replaced immediately, no questions!!!
Replaced immediately, no questions!!!
Impact sockets are brilliant, they have had A LOT OF ABUSE and are like new
Due to its reliability I decided to get a new set...
The ratchets have been updated and it now includes a small bit set.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
I have snap-on, Mac tools, britool etc and always seem to default to my halfords kit!"

"This is the second set we have bought,we have had the first set about three years and they are used on a regular basis, they are excellent quality and we have not managed to break anything yet , hence we bought a second set for my son to use at work as a Hgv mechanic, not quite got the look feel and quality of snap on or mac but the whole set cost about the same as the ratchets from snap on.
overall with tools you get what you pay for and with the lifetime warranty it's worth paying the small premium for halfords professional looked after they will last you a lifetime"
