Does anyone have the 235 piece tool chest from Halfrauds???

This one - http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_223049_langId_-1_CarSelectorCatalogId__CarSelectorGroupId__varient__categoryId_31535_crumb_33958-33943_parentcategoryrn_31535

We've got the one on wheels and it is extremely well built. In fact, we have tool boxes from Halfords which have lasted about 15 years now and are still going strong with no rust on them...

I have a few halfords bit sockets sets and stuff, the only bit I had problem with was the long socket bar which snapped.

But with credit took it back to Halfords and they swapped it no questions asked, good job as I had a 2foot extension on it

Always best off going for the proffessional halfords stuff, my brother has loads of it, and he normally only buys snap on stuff but said it comes with a lifetime guarantee so if anything does break you get a nice new shiny one!!!!

I have used snap on tools and TBH the halfords pro are not too far off the quality!

And they have a lifetime warenty except for movingparts. So say you snap a soket in half? take it in store and you get it replaced

I bought it last year. Don't get as many deep sockets and stuff this year, but is an amazing set. I have given the tools some shit

Changed the 1/2 Ratchet with them though (Lifetime Warranty) as I broke that

Wanting to get Breaker Bars and Screwdriver Sets this year.

Don't get that £50 set - Tools aren't as good/strong
