Well, sorted ourselves out with some vehicle-appropriate gear today, courtesy of Halfords sale - plus trade card...

Needed to update my toolbox a bit, so thought this was a good opportunity to get some Mog-appropriate gear.

21-piece 3/4" drive socket set, Halfords Advanced Professional range (goes up to 50mm), and a 25-piece combination spanner set (up to 32mm). Good-looking, nice solid sockets, and decently hefty bars and spanners - just a shame about the shoddy plastic box the sockets come with! Most buyers who left reviews of this product said the same: great tools, crappy box.

Waiting for Sunday and the VAT-free night at Machine Mart, as the Halfords socket set doesn't come with a ratchet.

The socket set retails at £200 normally. £100 in the sale, and with trade card got it for £80.  Liking the sound of the lifetime guarantee, too.  I've never had any problems with my other Halfords Professional set - me and my Dad smashed a few components and they were replaced without question. Hoping these sets will be just as useful



What a nice sparkly haul, eh? If anybody's interested, the link to the socket set is below:

That's the thin edge of the wedge 😀

Hmm very nice! I wish I had seen this post about a sale sooner.

When you are at Machine Mart pick up a 3/4 knuckle bar as well. The breaker bar in the Halfords set will not be long enough for many things that you need the 3/4 sachets for. 

If it's the Halfords sale you meant, Paul, it's still half price on all their Advanced Pro socket sets
If it's the Machine Mart one you meant, well, you know those are like buses, another one will be along in a week or so!

God speed, Paul! You may need it...

I have the Mercedes splitter but if your stuck use two hammers either side and strike simataniusly it will let go eventually wear safety glasses.
