Halfords Advance 200pc socket and spanner set.

[Steevo]

I don't have a Trade Card, truth be known I'd no idea such a thing existed till this thread.
I'm only a tinkerer and maybe even a bodger, I owned more big hammers than sockets till I bought this set.
I had to do a Google search to find out the merits of 6 side sockets versus 12 sided ones. Until then I just assumed a socket was a socket. My wife (with perhaps more than a grain of truth) suggested I wanted this set as my Crimbo present because it was a lot of shiny and heavy 'stuff' for the money. However I did redeem myself in her eyes when I gave our lad my old faithful Screwfix set.

You wait til you see the six sixed ring spanners too! Bought a set a year back and love them!

I have a set of britool imperial single hex spanners they are bloody brilliant!! I really must get a metric set.

Jeez, my mrs banned me from Costco on account of my magpie like attraction to shiny shiny things, don't lead me astray with more bright and bling stuff.
Anyway, it's a rattle gun I want-need now since I have some impact sockets in the bumper box of fun that I'll need to use at least twice a year, maybe...

Can find the 170 piece but not the 200. But I’m searching in a phone and the Halfords sites is horrid.

 

[Netherfield]

200 piece is showing at £185 at present.

That’s what I saw

£120 currently for the 170 and £130 for the 200 Piece with trade.

Trade card works with the click and collect aswell... And I've just read the number out from my phone in the past when I bought a Chest up on spur of the moment.... but I had to sign the invoice

So if someone pre ordered it for collection via trade.... Then I'm guessing someone else could turn up and pay as long as they are armed with the cardholders name.

The hinges snapped on my box so it's now in 2 halves - but the upside of this is they fit perfectly into the drawers of my Halfords Industrial black roll cabinet ! Snap-On-esque tool organisation for a fraction of the price!

It really is a brilliant set.

I know it's elcheapo but I'll add the Lidls socket sets are really quite good and at a fantastic price aswell.

I've the smaller one in the boot of the car and it's punched far above it's weight when it's had to.

I bought their screwdriver set aswell purely because the handles felt right and the holder would screw on the garage wall at home and it was elcheap.

Saves fecking about getting the Bahco ones out to change a fuse or put a shelf up... Loose it and no real tears as cheap.

Yep so Halfrauds by name Halfrauds by nature! Seems the website isn't honouring the £135 as its written on the email...should take them to ASA for false and misleading adverts

I was reading it as from 4pm to 6pm (even though I highlighted 6pm to 8pm in my OP, double ).

My apologies folks (and Halfrauds)

It's okay - I totally missed the bit about times when I got the email this morning & kept looking for some sort of code to get the price down!

 

[Netherfield]

So everybody dive in at 6pm and crash the website

 

[Longlowdog]

On your marks....

Madly clicking refresh now - you know I really need another one of these sets!

Or I could be joking.... Their offers and reductions usually beat the trade card price
