Post by: biggriffin on 13 January 2017, 20:52:07
bought this today for a lot less than its advertised, was sooo much cheaper than the shiney one.

Nice one.

You wont go far wrong with the Advanced range.  Life time warranty.

Even at full price, if you are going to abuse them, it's worth it (ish).  At the usual 50% dscount, it's a bargain!

Nice!  but I can't help thinking the black will help them hide in the engine bay so much better!
Web shows £160 on trade?

That's what I'm thinking, but price was right, had lots of vouchers from father Christmas. Also had to replace the tools that were stolen when car was broken into too,.

I thought about one of those, just because they're black ;D

But then someone somewhere pointed out ... when/if you break a bit, they'll replace it with a silver one as the black will be NLA.

Yes I know, but I would have bought the 170. I haven't put the discount code in for the 200 piece. It's the principle  :o
