code not working , any other codes ?

There are no bits for an impact driver provided in this set but these sockets are intended for use with an impact wrench: 7 x 1/2" Drive Impact Socket 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23mm Impact drivers are usually used for screws and impact wrenches are usually used for sockets. You can use adaptors of course but they're less efficient.

Can these be used in an impact driver?

That's what I thought until I bought a Caterham. Then I was very glad for them!

Worth having a set of spline sockets when working with damaged fasteners.

Junk, save your money.

No stock within 100 miles of London. Cold

You will not find reviews from pro mechanics as they use Snap-on etc... It has a 2 year guarantee Please don't use this for wheel nuts (lol)

Why would someone buy these ''tools'' is beyond me.. If you need socket set and want it cheap wait for the halfords sales and you can pick up more or less same kit for the same price. Or...Just pay a bit more and get one of the bahco kits. This is just waste of time/money/nerves and most of all- Absolute Waste of Earths Resources! AVOID! AVOID AVOID!

But was this because it looks pretty and they hadn't tried to remove a stiff wheelnut and snapped the ratchet yet, or rounded off a bolt head because the sockets didn't fit...?

Good deal & welcome to the site OP. Thanks for sharing! (y)

Probably coz they're not from the advanced range, so not suitable for trade, stops them from being returned all broke

Just go easy on your nuts

£16 or £6?

cheers op ordered for collection (y)

Fair enough - your world is obviously different to a lot of others. Ta for your vote though :)

I would need to drive accross town to collect, lose time+waste fuel. Better do 1 hour overtime at work and order 2 sets from eBay + free delivery. Some people really do not know how this world works. Yeah, deal is only good for those living near the shop/branch.

If you read the description its C&C ( click & collect ) if you cba collecting then yea delivery charge applies over and above a tenner. Probably best if you dont bother at all - save a spanner ( the aggro ) (y)

£5 delivery. Cold.

Called knuckle busters in the trade.

Add this voucher and its £108......Done it today and no proof of AA required....

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.

Nice to see spanners come with a case. Fed up with tools coming in cardboard and tacky plastic cases.

They come in black, a pre-used antique look.

Was £20 amazon anyway Stanley Fatmax 10 Spanner Set

LOL! What could possibly go wrong! :D

And much would they be without the 'Fatmax' case?

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?

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

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it.

Any chance you can check the trade price on the Halfords torque wrenches please :D

Yeah OK. XD

Both the 12 and 6 point sockets in the Halfords range are more like spline sockets that that traditional flat faced one - the face section is curved ensuring that all of the torque in not placed on the "point" but well back on the face. Even the point is curved. I have a couple of sets of spline sockets - they are excellent at removing any damages fixing as they will grab on to any surface.

I had to look, aluminium case only(one hopes... ;-p )...nice box, but tools look...hmmm terrahawks used emoticons... :-) Don't get whom these tools aimed at, (nice)professional looking case, but don't appear professional quality tools... Just why?????

(poo) Price (poo) Tools

Chinesium

I really hope these are not aluminium....

Not bad, I am overstocked on 1/2 but not on impact stuff

I bought http://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/tools/tool-kits/halfords-advanced-modular-tray-set-18pc-impact-socket-set last week for £32 with my trade card, these 6 point sockets are superb for the money if you already have a 1/2" ratchet.

I agree mate

I I would maybe live with the imperial sockets, sell them off etc, but then the rest is 12 point this set is ok when either whatever you work on is up to 3 years old or you work on 12point bolts all the time which I doubt...

need we need more, and then more again

Yeah fair enough. Would have been good if my nearest store wasn't a special out of the way 60 mile round trip to go there. Location dependent of course / postcode lottery.

£12 in-store at Halfords with their Trade Card.

I’m not talking people out then. I recommend them they are brilliant and good value. I figured if any of mine break I’d just take it in. If they refuse take up with management most places would just give a new ratchet for what it’s worth

If you ever need to change the battery on a Fiat 500 or Ford KA MK2 this will be invaluable. There is practically no access and using a non-ratcheting combination spanner is a lesson in tedium (lol)

To break the ratchet then you are working on an item thats not been oiled or is rusted badly. Tools only snap through miss use or bad thought and planning. ;)

Just got in there before midnight. Thanks OP

My local Halfords are fantastic. They replaced my faulty ratchet spanner on the spot. I religiously only buy Halfords tools for this reason. However they need to expand their range ask pretty much have everything now
