I got an email about their 'Black Friday' deals which appear to be starting today and have 8 more days to go!

Not sure if the marketing department understands the whole concept of 'Black Friday' however I like their tools and today only they have this:

http://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/tools/socket-sets/halfords-advanced-professional-170-piece-socket-ratchet-spanner-set?cm_re=homeslides-_-Slide+2-_-170pc

I have one of these, I paid more using the trade card and I still think I got good value for money.

 

Either way If it saves someone cash it is worth the heads up.

 

I will be checking each day to see if there is anything I want but cannot afford  :-D

Ratchet spanners aren't as useful as you think they're going to be.

That rather depends on the origin of the vehicle you need to be turning spanners on....

I've used ratchet spanners that skip a tooth if you lean on them too much. Probably great for winding a nut onto a bolt with a ratchet and socket the other side, then tweak said nut up with something else, but I found them a bit meh.

 

Still would if I had £100 though!

Bullshit that set was not £250 and reduced by £150 just for today, i have that very set i bought last year for £125 which at the time was advertised as reduced form £175.. as always Black Friday is a Steeple day where shite on shelves is sold to moron with wide eyes and deep pockets

It is £250 when it's not reduced to £125 (I've been watching), which isn't very often, but I had the same thought as you- it's really only £25 off. Still a decent saving if you're in the market for one.

Best tools I've ever bought. Use mine loads, and wonder how I did without them, sometimes. I bought the Halfords ones for about £45, and wasn't expecting that much from them. I was surprised.

They are useful for removing Renault 2.1D glow plugs :-).

Halfords Black Friday sales will be bumper to bumper PT Cruisers sucking up all the shiny bits. Avoid.

I know ratchet spanners have their uses, just not as many as I'd hoped they would. Also, I managed to Vulgalour one when I was doing my drop links last month.

They should call it "Back to Black" Friday and only do a special offer on that horrible black goo which transforms grey bumpers to black for about three days (unless it rains).

Ok for spinning nuts on manifolds etc but you wouldn't use them to crack a tight nut off for example you'd fuck the ratchet up.
