Tools (spanners)

[Niall]

Ive got all sorts in my tool collection, and im a farmer, and believe me, the tools get a hard time, and not just from me....In terms of spanners, ive got lots of sets over the years etc, but I have a halfords set which i bought maybe 6 years ago, just as a "tidy" set to use around cars etc, but its been used for everything snice having them, for example only last week did i have a 32mm spanner on the end of the 19mm tightening a feeder house chain on the combine...and to this day, ive not broken a single one,and there still snug / tight on a nut, nothing worse than a slogged out 13mm that smore like 13.5mm due to cheapy metal, resulting in lots of cock ups in the workshop...I really rate the halfords tools, quite honestly.

Agreed. For personal use like most of us use, you can not beat Halfords pro stuff.

Mine is far from personell use, it gets used and abused daily!

Fair play. It is good stuff!
Personally, if I was using tools professionally, I'd have snap on or mac tools. I know some on here say it's pointless but you really can tell the difference and it lasts for bloody ages. I've got a old flexi head ratchet that is 3 years older than me and it's only just gone bad because it was in the top of my tool box when my shed flooded and the top of the box filled with water local snap on man is replacing it for me when I can be bothered to go and see him.
