If it turns out to be crap....I shall be holding 'you lot' responsible.

The case lid will keep falling off when open but apart from that it should be fine. 

(or is it just my lids that fall off due to the poor hinges)

Yes. I believe I have heard similar.

If you change your headgaskets you might find the T55 isn't man enough, but apart from that mines been great! 

Don't forget it comes with a lifetime warranty, so if anything does break Halfords will replace it.  Don't lose the receipt!

Thanks, Sir Tig. For £100 delivered I though I would take a punt.

If memory serves the last time it was 'on offer' it was £150....or was it £120?

I doubt they sell many (or any) for £250.

I saw it advertised for that and agree it is a good price for the 170 piece.

They have a kit of Autoglym stuff for £20 which is pretty reasonable......bought one for the wife for xmas

Love my set. All I'll say is the 'breaker bar' is pointless, given it's about 8 inch long    and I bought myself a (Halfords) longer, flexi head ratchet, which functions brilliant as my 'every day' 'go to' ratchet. I was very sceptical about the three sizes of ratchet included, thinking all but the 1/2" drive to be pointless (Having always used nothing but a 1/2" drive Britool for donkeys years) however, found them all to be brilliant, and barely use the 1/2" drive one, now. Initially bought a Sealey ratchet, which I promptly gave away to a friend, and bought a Halfords one instead, so poor was the quality in comparison.

Can't rate it high enough, really, Other than I wish it had a 18mm spanner, 9/10.

At least there's no real handle on it

The spanner set is £37.50

This is where the 200pc comes in, full range of sockets and spanners, and more crossover between 3/8 and 1/2 drive.  Bloody heavy, mind.

For the money, its very good.  Keep receipt safe, though, as they usually insist on seeing it for warranty exchanges.

The 1/2 to 3/8 and 3/8 to 1/4 adapters are a bit weak if you really lean on them (or use impact guns ), but with the receipt, I've never had any quibble.

That's marginally cheaper than trade as well

Not being Advanced, not lifetime warranty , but yet to damage one:)

I did ponder this, however, literally for the wont of an 18mm spanner (got a 'it'll do for now' britool one at a car boot sale for 50p) and a longer 3/8 ratchet, decided the rest of the 200pc set wasn't worth the extra money.

Hope the good Doctor likes it
