There's gains and losses, no headset spanner in the new tool kit.

New essential tool kit doesn't look any better, doesn't look any worse either overall. Just a refresh I guess.

Thanks OP collected one of each £25 locally. Ordered Friday. Neither are on the Website any more links return a 404 the man in the shop said they have a new range coming out new packaging and tools (different mix of tools) but not a lot of difference. Seems good at this price. Used TCB for the click and collect, will wait to see if this tracks.

As its not on the website might be worth updating the post to reflect this change to in store only call before you visit. Not sure what the product codes are though this is what was listed on my order:

Halfords Essential Bike Tool Kit £10.00
Bikehut Bike Tool Kit £15.00

I collected mine today, its got sticker that it was always £10 I feel cheated now.

Hang on a moment, just checked. Less than half price! Listed http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/8-piece-screwdriver-set-2328262

I managed to part with another £7 while I was in there on some screwdrivers. Bought because of a lifetime guarantee promise. Not discounted but a good deal so not added to hot deals.

This does not come up in searches on Halfords site anymore, what comes up is a replacement new essential kit at £35

I reserved this at £17 a few days ago and picked it up yesterday. The guy never mentioned it has gone down to £10 so paid £17. Feel annoyed that it's down to a £10 now

I have one reserved at Leeds Kirkstall that I no longer require. message me if you want res no.

They had stock in a few of my local stores when the deal was posted. Obviously, deals like this get snapped up quickly though. If you snooze you lose.

Nearest store to e. London - Bicester 54.38 miles
Good hunting Jane

Collected today, worth every penny of a tenner, heat heat heat!

This is a reasonably good buy but its worth noting some of the tools especially in the first kit are a bit defunct if you own a newer bike.

Personally I would buy the tools you really need separately, it may cost a little bit more but you can get away with spending less on tools that get light use like chain wear indicators and more on the tools that need to be strong like chain tools, bottom bracket tools and wire cutters.

You Spawny Get! :wink:

I reserved the £15 one and picked it up tonight.

But they have given me this one - http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-maintenance/bike-tools/bikehut-complete-tool-kit which isn't on sale! :smile:

I assume it's the newer version, but either way I'm happy with it as it has much more and better tools. Quality seems excellent and it has a lifetime guarantee.

I normally get the out of stock email with halfords deals!

does the bikehut kit contain the tools for replacing a bottom bracket? Thx

I reserved the bikehut one and was given this:
http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-maintenance/bike-tools/halfords-basic-tool-kit

The order picklist was cellotaped over the front of the packaging and since I picked it up on the way home from work, even though I knew something wasn't right, I didn't check till I got home :disappointed: Checked online again and they now have no stock....Is it wrong to wonder how many of their staff bought them :/ Feel a right idiot for even walking out of the shop with it.

worth checking local store if your close, my local had no stock for reservation but an essentials on the shelf - nice kit for £9 (British cycling club -10% always a winner!)

For people in Aberdeen: they're marked OOS on the Website, but I was in the Kittybrewster store at 5pm and there was an Essential tool kit priced £10 in the bargain basket near the counter. It might still be there for the taking.

my dear old mum picked one up for me in Camberley and I have one reserved in Farnham if anyone wants the res number.

OOS in London :disappointed:

Ordered £10 one at one store and £15 one at another to get calls over 4 hours later "sorry no stock" usual Halfords excuse happened same thing 6 months ago. What happened to 1 hour click an collect or are Halfords watches as bad as their service

Manage to reserve the essential model. I have a similar kit already but have lost/damaged a few tools.

Seriously unless you keen cyclist or own a bike shop will you really need all this kit, I ride a bike and have all in one that, fit in pocket when out on bike, cost £1 from poundland, does the job :smiley:

Impossible to get any in my neck of the woods (North Wales)

No stock anywhere near Chester... :disappointed:

None near me, Livingston. Unfortunate it is!

No chain whip in the bike hut one
No stock anywhere near me. **** !

Sorry - Cold. Yes it's a great offer - except it's not available for delivery, it's not available for Click & Collect, and it's not available in any store within 50 miles of me.

IOW - Halfords are sucking us in to a non existent offer. Great marketing & advertising, crap deal.

To be fair these kits are pretty much defunct as most of the tools would be covered in most peoples standard tool kits, the only things that are really specific are the bottom bracket tool and the chain spliter, but hey if you are tool free then would be a good buy

Reserved, heat added. Thank you!

Ordered. Thanks. Halfords just rang in louth. Sorry we haven't got any stock so cant complete your order. Nicr one. Cheers.

I have the essentials one - quality is a bit ropey. I don't have remotely strong hands, but I accidentally managed to bend the chain splitter on first use. The tyre levers are xmas cracker toy quality. There's only so much useful stuff in there, to be honest. The allen keys, screwdrivers and spanners are all things that most people would already have. If you've got a Shimano Hollowtech bottom bracket and cranks then you'll need a couple of extra tools for those. The only things in my kit that really get any use now are the chain whip and the cassette tool. In all fairness, they're probably getting on for a tenner's worth on their own, so it's pretty good at this price. Less so at £30 or whatever it normally is.

Just reserved one.

Thanks op

Just reserved one at Lincoln Carlton centre, thanks OP

Looks like its oos :disappointed:

Reserved, thanks OP!

Great deal but very limited to stores only and limited availability at that.

Just reserved one at Plymouth Cornwall st

I've ordered one of each, thanks OP.

Is there anything in the £10 kit that you don't get in the £15 one? Is the latter for people who already have the "essentials"?

Cheers OP, just reserved the bikehut one. The Bottom bracket spanner is worth almost that on it's own. Cheers

None in York

Excellent. Little Xmas pressie for 2nd born. Thanks OP...!

Cheers op, just reserved one. Have a few odds already, but at this price, beats waiting for aldi to reduce their kits

I bought the essential one earlier in the Summer for about £20 and that was a bargain at the timevand its good enough for occasional maintenance
for £10 its an excellent bargain...heat added

Cheers op. Went for the Halfords one.

Great prices!

dont forget british cycling discout thats another 10% off. got the bike hut one today paid £13.50.
was told they are getting rid of these two tool kits to make way for the new version coming.

great just reserved one

Of course Argos is expensive , you need to go to chainreaction for a comparsion.

Right I bought the Raleigh bike on here the other night to go with my Plant X helmet that was also on here. Now whats this kit for? I have quite a lot of tools in the garage hex sets etc........is this any use?

Shame I already got bought one by my parents from aldi, last year. Else I would have got.
