Halfords pro tools
#21
For me I most commonly use 10, 13, 15, 17 and 19 - but 12 and 14 make an appearance fairly often as well. The occasional 6-8mm is used for small things, but at this size I have some 1/4" hex end sockets that fit in a screw driver thingy - you know what I mean!

My views on the Halfords stuff mirrors every one elses - their Pro / Advanced stuff is good Smile Recently picked up their 12 piece set of ratchet spanners which have come in handy and feel of good quality. A majority of my sockets are Torq because I was poor when I bought them, but since they are mostly 6 sided they have lasted and performed well Smile

I've got nothing against the Halfords Pro range quality wise, but I wouldn't buy that particular set as I prefer using 6 faced sockets. I have got some Halfords stuff but I usually buy Teng like a couple of others on here.

I prefer to use flank drive sockets where possible as well.There is a few 6 faced impact sockets in the set in some of the common metric sizes.

Good tools. I got that set about 10 years ago and can't fault them.

I sent him a Farce Book message a few days ago to remind him, and to find the price. Sent him my new address. He apologised for not getting back sooner (forgot) and that he'll be on it. I'll message him in the next few days if I haven't heard anything.

I've been using Halfords Pro and they're not bad - but I am slowly converting the entire toolbox over to the 6 sided socket range they do. No idea why they're not 6 sided to start with to be honest - they grip so much better!
