Get yourself a halfords trade card before you buy any of their tools, massive discounts to be had

Hm i dont think i'd trust the quality of them tbh, end up using them a couple of times and they'l be rounded off, but i could be wrong

Abit difficult when i dont match the criteria to apply for one

buy propper first time pal, BELIEVE me, buy cheap buy twice, splash out, dont have to be snap on, but not cheap tat, i got a teng on when i was still at school, me,friends,family, everyone has borrowed/used it, worth its weight in gold.

So go with the more expensive/ reliable stuff ?

 

[clancy]

depends how much your going to use it to be honest. if its gonna be a once in a blue moon basicly not use it, buy cheap stuff.

if your gonna use it on a regualar basis then buy some better stuff. blue point and teng are good if you dont fancy paying snap-on prices. but like i said, depeneds if your reeeaaaally gonna use it that much.

i have some blue point stuff and some cheap crap from b and q and the cheap craps still going fine tbh

 

[jamie.91]

Yes. Even if it's not gonna get used much at least it will hold it's value and be sellable and will work when you do come to use it when a blue moon comes around lol

 

[clancy]

true but if he can get what he wants really cheap then theres not really any need to spend crazy money if it will barelly get used

Buy the halfords kit, you won't regret it.

Seriously useful if you EVER do anything on your own motor.

 

[M@tt_182]

I also recommend the Halfords Advanced/Pro tools, mine have been great and they have a life time warranty! Worth every penny even if you have to splash out a bit more to start with...

Business card stating they have their own Mechanics Business​

Not to hard to knock up

150 piece set, costco trolley jack and a full set of axel stands is pretty much a staple for anyone ever going to do anything to their car tbh.

 

[montana]

halfords professional kit is the one to get, you will use it for EVERY job on the car, very versatile ! plus lifetime guarantee!

Very true.

That Halfords 150 piece set is awesome. I bought it, and it had everything I needed. Other than a breaker bar for the really tough bolts

Oh and regarding trade, that tool set is already half price, so buying that on trade it would actually cost more, because it takes the trade price off the full price.
