I have a tool cabinet in the garage thats full of grannies and cousins, accumulated over many a year.  Rather than potentially leave this hodge podge of engineering excellence to my lad, I bought a box (Halfords pro kit) that pulled the most used into one place, rather than have him rake into the places I have stowed things patiently over the years.  At least he will have a tool set that will cover most nuts and bolts in one place at one time...

Any other auld fart with a garage like mine will understand where I'm coming from....   :-[

You want to get some blue nail varnish and leave a wee spot on the handle of your Britool and King Dick stuff.  Make it seem like the BluePoint guff thats the Yankee Castoffs....   ;D

this is a serious question from someone who has no experience of tool quality/requirements, but i'm about to buy this one at the end of the week, and granted its not as portable, but what are the pro's and con's between the two??

this one's £50

For Halfords. always get the Pro/Advanced series. For Clarke, if shopping at Machine Mart, get Clarke Pro.

Cheap tools aren't worth bothering with.
