i currently have the crap halfords tools which break when you put any pressure on them, so im getting another tool set, but i don't want to be buying another set in a few months so is this a good set to get?

Wait for http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_173083_langId_-1 to come down to 100 instead, you want halfrods pro, not normal ones.

As patmore has said - buy the halfords professional range - its guaranteed for life - i have used it day in day out for the last 5 years and broke a handful of torx sockets. They were replaced for free so happy days

they have come down in price due to being obselete now, so finding this product will get harder to find.
halfords professional range is good, but remember to keep your receipt if it ever brakes and that doesnt include any moving parts i.e ratchets

very good kit, you can get it at the minute for £200 with a free toolchest which is normally £150ish ehich is again good quality.
however if you know anyone with a trade card or can blag your own you can get the £200 kit for £99 anyway

same here never had a problem replacing anything including breaker bars that I have had scaffolding poles on the end of. best thing is blag a trade card saying you work for a garage or your in the trade and they will just give you one.
