Ratchet Deals & Offers

They're probably expecting them for a fiver

These are imperial measure not metric. So useless for most modern applications.

https://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/tools/spanners-wrenches/halfords-advanced-modular-tray-set-12-piece-flexi-ratchet-spanner same set I'd say 12pc 8-19mm £75 or £56 trade

As far as I know Apex tool group still makes Halfords advanced professional tools.

Looks like a decent saving, too advanced for my needs that's not to say I wouldn't fancy a set. Voted hot for the deal though... Not sure why others are voting cold.

Yh been there and Screwfix and didn't have it. Ended up buying it on eBay for a 1/4" driver, wasn't expensive. Thanks guys for all the comments.

Bought the same set about 6 years ago and it's been brilliant. Bargiain for anyone looking for some cheap sockets

Have u tried Halfords? They sell individual sockets.

Ebay is the best place for random sockets at a good price. Stick to known brands and you should be fine quality wise. Halfords professional variety are well priced and solid. Teng are a good bet but a bit overpriced. And if you are willing to sell a kidney, Snapon is an option.

True agree, i need something for the kids bikes or when need to do the small odd adjustem etc.

Not snapped mine yet and had a m long scaffold bar on the end. I snapped the wheel nut though (strong) :(

I bought a set of non impact 3/8 deep laser sockets around 25 years ago. Never managed to break one despite spinning them up on a snap on air ratchet. Lost a few over the years and replaced them with snap on as and when. TBH if I was starting out again I wouldn't bother with snap on I'd go for draper expert, bahco or maybe halfords Pro range.

Take it back

I wish they did just a metric set with 200 pieces, I'd never use AF sockets these days . Unless you're into old cars they aren't much use, just makes the set take up more room.

Why? Halfords tool sets are like dfs sales. Almost Always on offer

Still got my old battered one without bit storage. New one is (poo) with cheaper plastics. Clearly Stanley has cheapened out & going in the wrong direction as a business. As they say, buy cheap, buy twice with tools.

Yeah I wouldn't bother. I took mine back. Wished I had bought 2 back in the day.

I have one & it’s not great. The lid for the storage compartment keeps coming undone when I’m using it

I've got the original one as well (The bottom doesn't come off to store the bits though, they're all round the collar) my one still works great after years of use. Was thinking about buying this as a spare for a fiver, but sounds like I would be disappointed!

I have an original one bought about 9 years ago which is great. They changed the manufacture of them a few years ago. The latest ones are very poor quality. Ratchet mechanism fails. I bought one and compared side by side. Every element is cheaper.

much better than the ps4 remake of the first portion of the original game

Best of PlayStation

Incredible! <3

These play great on the Vita! Well worth a purchase! Heat

Nice. Cheers and heat. never got round to getting this for Vita. Also picked up WRC 5 for £3.99. Gonna invest in a new memory card and dust off the vita. Need a large memory stick as I’ve been meaning to get one for years. Might pick up a few of the psone games for a bit of nostalgia too!

Never had an issue with ratchet type. Used them for years.

Hi these also come in very handy to go with the axle stands Rubber protection pads

I don't know, I think it's just a paranoia thing for me. Maybe they're just as safe as the pin ones. As for peace of mind though, the pin ones are the way forward for me. Whatever works best for you I suppose! (y)

Not sure it's possible to 'slip a link' unless you set them up wrong, in which case it's not the stand's fault. Used the halfords ones for years without issues apart from the relatively tall lowest setting as noted above. As for the design being more dangerous. Why? It's not like you can kick the lever and then the car comes crashing down. All the stands from different brands look like they come out of the same factory in China. Would love to know if Facom or other more expensive stands are any better.

You're not the only one, great deal if they were pin but not risking my body or vehicle just because of a faulty one.

The socket set is the first picture I could find. Basically all the sale prices work with trade car discount. This particular set might not be as cheap as it’s been before others are not bad.

Not up to speed with how to post deals yet properly. Only my second post. I’ll make some changes now.

Cheers

try search 'trade card'

Lol :) I'm working on it. Any links to them claims?

Is it sad that i have 11 of these? Still havent played bloodborne or MGS

The NON-'Platinum/Essentials/Hits' physical versions of games, or SKUs, will be the first batch unpatched release. The Platinum/Essentials/Hits SKUs, majority of the time have been updated, bugs fixed, dialogue changed, etc. This is definitely true for PS and PS2. From PS3 onwards, as games have constant updates, it doesn't matter what version you get, in terms of the SKU, because it will always be patched to the latest update. When PS3 games went for £1 or £2, I got a bunch of them as silver platinum boxes or red essential boxes. "Ah, but you're an idiot, because they're going to turn off PSN for PS3 in 20xx, and you won't be able to play/update that game on your PS3 anymore, even if you have the disc." That's why I upgraded my PS3 40gb hard disk to a 500gb one and game by game downloaded all the updates for every game. No doubt I'll eventually have to do that for my PS4 collection. But with external 4tb drives under £90 these days, and slowly dropping, it won't be that hard. I'll probably end up buying TLOU remastered, if I can't get it on ebay for the magic price of under £10 inc. delivery.

Its one of,if not the best game on ps4 for me..i love it

Nice post Mixi :) Awesome games.... The Last Of Us <3 All of the games though, very cheap for Yakuza 0 which physically generally has a going rate of £20+

Oh bloody hell even cheaper!!

I paid £135 for this set a year or so ago.

This isn't a very good deal. The 150 piece set tends to be the more cost effective one to go for with prices getting as low as sub £70.

Is it. I don't normally frequent Halfords. Thanks for the heads up.

Lol usually £120 black Friday

Usually £160 or less. cold

Just what I need but none in stock locally 😫

Not in many stores but just ordered a couple. Can’t moan for the price

tyvm

Good deal!
