if you think about it, its £33 for a 1/2 drive set, £33 for a 3/8 drive set and £33 for a 1/4 drive set, but imo, i just wouldnt rely on 12pt sockets for really important stuff as youre so much more prone to kiling the fastener
for that reason im out. its good value for the amount of metal you get, but the 12pt thing will let you down so many times
plus, why the need for so much imperial?
Loads more than that, mate. Ratchet spanners sold it for me - wanted that luxury ever since I started spannering 10-ish years ago! Was only 'reduced' to £120 when I bought it though
. All it's missing is adaptors to allow you to use the 1/4" and 3/8" drive sockets with your 1/2" breaker bar
. Imperials are useful when you need to hammer a slightly smaller socket onto a rounded metric bolt
Had a little quality issue with the chrome plating peeling off a couple of allen key bits, but otherwise all decent stuff. They are pretty good on their lifetime warranty too - I'm reminded of the time I was stripping my first Sierra XR4x4 for my kit-car donor bits. Got three hub nuts off with my 2' breaker bar that I'd just bought from Halfords with no problems, but the last rear one was stuck. I ended up bouncing on about 6' of 'extension pipe' and the breaker bar broke. Back to Halfords, no questions asked, new bar. I was back in an hour having broken the second one. Again no questions asked (I dare say questions might have been asked if it wasn't a spotty teenager serving me
) - breaker bar number three. This time I thought better of bouncing on the extension pipe and towed it to a garage to get the pros to do it for some beer money. It was there I learned the Sierra rear hub nuts are one side right handed thread and one side left handed thread
So I'd broken two breaker bars doing up a nut nice and tight
Can't fault Halfords lifetime warranty though!
