I need a half decent tool set, dont do THAT much anymore myself but would be good to have! Are these pretty good quality then? Thanks for the heads up by the way, may get one on my way home!

£200, they was £150 with a free 2 tonne jack a year ago.

Looks they have changed all the screw driver attachments on to a smaller wrench.
I have an older set which is about 80% the same, has been faultless, very helpful, rather then just some useless cheaper crap.

Brother has one, not managed to break anything yet, even sticking a massive bar onto the ratchet for tight stuff.

It's got a couple of sockets missing that it could be doing with but great set for the price and can't beat a lifetime no hassle swap warranty.

Its required for proof of purchase. As in could have been stolen and bought on the side for cheap. Can fully understand that term and condition tbh.

A case of what came first the chicken or the egg. With the headunit you may require the tools to fit it, if you buy the tools you don't have anything to use them for

I've got the halfords professional socket set and they haven't broke yet, just got a bit of surface rust from usage.
