Spanners

Wouldn't recommend the swivel heads. Too fiddle to use

 

Hi CWB Brittol are very good thanks Jon

Do they cover the spanners with individual moving parts ? I have heard of people being refused replacements for ratchet parts out of warranty.

 

moving parts are not covered by Halfords and the ratchets do fail, as do the boxes the sets come with and frustratingly the boxes change from time to time, however at the discounted rate offered not a bad package

I've had a ratchet from the professional range replaced by Halfords. No receipt needed either.

Just swapped it for a new one straight away.

Man I love the swivel heads, I have older fixed heads but they just wont reach 40% of the jobs. Swivels I got are much better

You pay for it but do you pay too much? I have a BOC mig welder made by cebora, you can buy the exact machine with a snap in badge for three times the price. OK so it has a good warranty but three times the price???

 

Its entirely personal but Facom gets my vote for the best balance of quality and price

I have a great set of Draper Expert that have had loads of abuse and are still excellent tools. There are other posher sets of course eg Teng - but the Draper Experts also have a lifetime warranty. The Halford Professionals are an exact copy of the Draper Expert.

Snap on with lifetime guarantee. broke a 1/2 breaker bar the other day and replaced broken part no problems. Don't even have to buy new get them off flea bay

In my opinion Snap on are too shiny and easily dropped when dirty, plus 'borrowed' on a permanent basis too, so ebay items may well be in a similar situation.....Facom are good, Stahlwille too. I have no personal experience with Halfords but they seem to have a good rating. Hazet are another and I have a feeling that they may be made by Stahlwille....

There's no substitute for quality tools in the long run.
