I've had one for years that cost me £169.99 when I bought it, they have just come on offer for £97.89 and its the best value tool kit I've seen! The ratchets alone are over £60 by them selves!
I've just bought another one so I can have a set in the car and a set at home and I keep all my big tools at my workshop 
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_173083_langId_-1_categoryId_165572
Still priced up as £149.99 in the stores, just do a collect from store on the website and take in the print out

You are always welcome to borrow one of the ramps or space for a small contribution

Yeh that is weird...
Are you able to use a trade card discount on top of the sale price for that tool kit you think?

you can use a trade card, but you will end up paying more money.
the trade price will be of the original price £169.99 so trade price will be something like £130.00.
so a trade card in this case will be no use at all

You need to either have a auto mechanical qualification or a nice stack of motorfactor invoices from the last 3 months.

On the new one all of the Hex and screw driver bits are those little inserts, on the older version they are all 3/8 drive sockets and bloody useful!

just remember the lifetime guarantee doesnt include moving parts i.e ratchets.
you will also find reserve and collect will be cheaper for alot of products, its a way of getting you into the store

I'm a mechanical engineering apprentice and I took in 1 payslip, told the guy behind the counter I worked at the on-site garage as a mechanic (bullshit) and he gave me a form to fill out for it.
Half price spark plugs + wipers FTW.
