Default Halfords 200 piece Professional toolkit - 58% off

Just noticed this at Halfords for Black Friday. No idea whether it is worth the money but at 58% off (was £300) it may be the cheapest way of upgrading your toolkit.

I bought a similar kit to this a couple of years ago.

Top notch tools at a bargain price, and no quibble guaranteed for life.

I broke the case and one of the impact drivers, acting the fool.

They swapped them immediately, with no question.

You've just convinced me to reserve a set in my local store. That wasn't the plan! They'll hold it till Monday so I can decide over the weekend if I really need more tools..

I couldn't wait so I have just picked mine up. Be aware that if you don't reserve online first you will be charged the instore price of £150. They won't price match. Seems crazy but them's the rules. If you reserve using your phone instore it comes up on the till and then you can have at the online price! Lol. Halfords, you couldn't make it up.

Bought one a couple of weeks ago for £150 . Very happy with it! Great having most of what you need in one place. Pretty heavy though

A lot of places do that, it is to promote E Commerce you have to go through the "people who bought this also bought this" and such things!
