Tool deals/ workshop consumables sticky

[Lincs Lass]

I thought they were facom with halfords stamp ,,which ever ,they stand by their guarantee and cant fault them

 

[Grassman]

I have plenty of cheap spanners which have stood the test of time.
Even mechanics seem to favour other brands rather than snap on nowadays. They get lured in to that snap on van whilst young and then pride keeps them buying till they see sense!

 

[Lincs Lass]

Still got a big selection of Gedore and Elora sockets and spanners I bought 30+ years ago ,,never had one break or bend ,,they been hit with hammer ,,had a ring looped into the claw end to get extra leverage ,,they took plenty of abuse over the years

That's odd! I found a really really old snap on spanner in my granddads shed once, nothing wrong with it apart from the chrome, they changed that no questions asked, although they did say that's an old one! it must have been 30 years old at a guess? think a lot depends on the dealer!

I did wonder if it was the dealer, I'm not really sure why he is a Snap On dealer, he is't really happy doing it thus the poor attitude to warranty

 

[Kidds]

That is cheap ,,normally £50 when on offer

It is cheap, I nearly bought a set at £50 but decided not to. They are not part of the professional range so no lifetime warranty.

I've got a set in the grain store , very handy for odd jobs, saves going to the workshop for a spanner, got a free set of screwdrivers with them too £40 ex vat at the time . [emoji106]

[Kidds]

If you have a Halfords trade card they are cheaper still.

Anyone fancying a tool chest then have a look at these. I have had one for a year now and its been very good and it cost £70! They have 10 year warranty as well. Might not be a snap on but so what.

Dont recommend sgs as a company. V hostile when i tried to return something. Also reviews on website are dodgy

 

[Andrew]

The Halfords industrial range of tool chests is good. Lifetime warranty and bottom cabinet, middle and top chests for £400

 

[Scholsey]

Brushed or brushless battery angle grinder? Have Li Ion makita stuff so makes sense to get makita.

Wont be used everyday but like to have decent tools that can be relied on!

Anyone spotted any good deals for them?

 

[Lincs Lass]

Ive got the heavier brushless makita angle grinder with a 5ah battery ,,brilliant tool ,,look on Folkestone fixings site ,,

Bought cheap set of spanners for tractor toolbox at Halfords today.
Surely can't go wrong with 25 for £40. Some handy bigger ones too. Sale on them ends tomorrow.
