According to the halfords man, snap on make their socket sets for them. I don't know if that is right but I used my lads halfords set the other day and it does have that shiney snap on feel. Seems fine

I would say he is talking out of he's jacksie.

I would think it highly unlikely snap on make the halfords socket sets, use of both would soon clear that up.

The halfords sets do a job but are a mile away from snap on quality imo.

That was my first thought but I stopped short of telling him that. Might be interesting to do some research into that if anyone has the inclination.

I was surprised to learn that Stanley , Facom and Britool are all owned by the same company , but who makes the tools and where they are all made is impossible to say I reckon . I would imagine they mainly come from China .

Hi we have snap on and britool 1/2 inch and 3/4 drive as they are guaranteed for life , broke the 3/4 long bar the other day and was just replaced by the rep

Been recommended them loads of times. Good set and good service. Good price as well!

Done a little research and assuming wikipedia etc are correct it looks like halfords pro used the earlier snap on design and the first couple of batches were made at the snap on factory.

After that halfords sets were made elsewhere. By danaher I believe who started apex tools in partnership with another company. Apex now make halfords, so now no connection with snap on except the design assuming they still use it. If you have an early halfords pro set they it just might have been made by snap on, but not now.
