Thread: Halfords Heads Up

  1. #1

    Halfords Heads Up

    An additional 15% off their already half price tools with the code WORKSHOP15 at checkout.

    Their professional stuff is very good in my experience

    Just bought http://www.halfords.com/workshop-too...socket-set-1-2 for 38.50 they have a stupidly cheap 3/8 set but I have a Teng one of those - http://www.halfords.com/workshop-too...socket-set-3-8 although for 10.00 I might get another !

    Thanks MB2. That 3/8" set is stupidly cheap. Unfortunately the nearest two stores I can collect one from are Barrow or Worcester (I'm in Yorkshire)!

    Neither of those links work for me - they shouldn't contain four points/full stops/dots.

    Can you post the full link address?

    Yep that's the one. My next nearest store with availability is Weston Super Mare.

    So if you're in Barrow, Worcester or Weston, dip your bread!

    Sorry about that - if you go Work Shop & Tools along the top menu, & then socket sets on the left hand side you will see them.

    The have a 3/8 set for 12.50 (save 67.50) and 1/2 inch for 45 (save 135)

    Same for me nearest store is 78 miles away - pity. The 1/2 set they offered me to collect from pretty much any store from the 21st but I found a store with it in stock so can collect on Saturday so I think the 1/2 set is at the warehouse but the 3/8 is only left in some stores.

    Me too, plus a set of impact sockets at less than half price. My 30 year old 1/2" Kamasa socket set has finally been retired. A great spot :)

    Hmmm, don't think I need a set but considering at that price :)

    Great spot !! Not needed, but I'll collect Saturday.

  15. #15
    Glad has been useful - I will post when I pick up on Saturday.

    I know Halfords used to be where you went for a tool you needed to finish a job and they were the only place open on a bank holiday, but have found their Professional/Advanced tools to be great quality and value when bought at a discount.

    Great shout, many thanks. I have a full halfords pro toolset (think it's the 148 piece jobbie) and it's spot on. This will be perfect for a backup toolkit in the car.

    I picked up a couple of sets of these the other day, an absolute bargain at £5 each (less with the discount code!)

    I got one of these a while ago:
    http://www.halfords.com/workshop-too...et-spanner-set

    In the last 2 weeks it's been used extensively by me, also 'borrowed' by a local car mechanic (when he couldn't use his own tools) and he was so impressed he's ordered the same item.

    Thanks folks. Picked up a 1/2 inch set today, none of the 3/8's in stock or on the website at the moment. Great deal.

    Me too, but I forgot to apply the code
    It was the last one in the shop so couldn't get around it. Im not that bothered, its a steal at £45!

    Glad you all got some bargains- just picked up my 1/2 set and it is probably worth 38.50 in scrap metal value alone.

    A really comprehensive set and you wouldn't be disappointed if had paid the full price.
