That's a great deal but for anyone looking for a screwdriver set then head down to wilko's. There's a stanley 48 piece set for £12! leftover black friday deals. It's a couple of quid more but in my opinion it's well worth it. http://www.wilko.com/black-friday-deals/stanley-48pc-screwdriver-and-bit-set/invt/0426241

The Halfords set is much better quality than Stanley stuff.

The screw wins every time with the Stanley stuff.

For 10% off workshop tools you can use the code: B16WT05

I tried the other code listed and it didn't work. Great find btw.

I enjoy screwing too :smile:

It says lifetime guarantee if it fails in normal use...etc.... Does this mean when (not if) the posidrive ones get chewed they will keep giving new ones out? If so whats not to like would beat snap on for that reason

I enjoy screwing too :smile:

You are making yourself look clueless, clearly you don't have enough experience to make a valid comment. Really cheap screwdrivers can suffer from numerous problems:
1) Tips not hard enough (gets mashed in normal use)
2) Tips overhardened and brittle (snap under pressure)
3) Tips badly formed (don't fit screw heads well, screw head gets rounded easily).
3) Handles made from brittle plastic (literally break in your hand)
4) Shafts not adequately keyed into handle, you end up with the handle turning but nothing else.

These screwdrivers are inexpensive and of very reasonable quality. They certainly aren't up to Snap-On standards as some rather optimistic people seem to think, but they more than adequate for anything the average DIYer will throw at them and infinitely better than the cheap crap you get at the pound shop.


You really are trying very hard to look silly. Halfords will swap out entire ratchets if it's failed due to a defect, and a repair kit is available if you are the kind of ham fisted baboon that likes to put a scaffold bar on the end of a ratchet. Explain why the guarantee is pointless because one single part of the kit is not covered? Snap-on also don't warranty the mechanisms in their ratchets, because they know that so many people abuse them.

Good find have some heat

a friend of mine worked there and got me one. im not even in that trade lol

these are a good deal, I reserved and collected mine on Sunday, lifetime warranty so you can't beat that

10% in store cash back with quidco app using a registered card

£5.60 with a trade card

£5.67 if you don't have o2 priority and you make use of the current 10% off everything (between 12pm - 2pm today) and using B16WT05 code (stacks)

They gave me £5 to take them away

Got it for free. I questioned it but the assistant said it's free with 02 priority

Got it for £2, they thought o2 priority was £5 off :smiley:

Thanks Fonzie

Just looked it up and you're right - it looks like they are now covered.

They changed it recently, the ratchets are covered now and no receipt is needed.

1 x noob question
How does O2 priority discount work they send me texts but I never took any notice till now .
Do I register on site first ?
I saw Halfords on the site but the items were kids toys .

Thanks pennyfarthing .

You can get 7 sets for the price of this. Who needs a guarantee for a screwdriver, how the hell do you break a screwdriver if you use it properly? and if you use incorrectly the guarantee is invalid. The guarantee is as pointless on their socket sets too, the ratchet mechanism isn't covered, the weakest part. The only people who buy this stuff is the brand name sheep.

got for £5 with trade card :P

heat :smile:

Reserved these a few weeks ago and went to collect them in Cribbs Causeway.

Stood for 20 mins before being asked by the bloke 'What do you want?' to which I obviously responded 'Just looking to pick up a reservation, no rush'.

15 minutes later, still nothing. Got sick of it and stormed out telling them they could shove it.

£5 for this set at the min if you have 02 priority moments

BQ had a Great Set Magnusson 12pc for 15 quit CHrome-Molibden-Vanadium!!!!!

Can anyone tell me if they have rubber grip or partial rubber grip ?
Some hard smooth types are not so good if your hands are swimming in oil or water .

Rubber grip handles or slippery type ??

Yep! Just bought a set, they are good quality.

The words Halfords and professional, don't really go together.

Is this a string of snooker based sexual innuendos?

If it is can i suggest going for the tight brown behind the slack pink?

£5.60 with a trade card

Is the O2 deal still live?

A great screwdriver set. Tried many over the years including extortionately priced snap-on set. This set last as long as any other manufacturer and if there's a problem, just return to any halfords store for a replacement as they have a lifetime guarantee. Keep your receipt in a safe place.

I still remember when these were on discount but if you added two to the basket, the price for both went down.

Nope, this aint true. We get screwed in the pocket, I speak from experience

Picked up a set in store. Near the tills rather than with the other tools.

Thanks OP. O2 Priority + British Cycling membership = £4.50 :smiley:

Pretty good deal for a nice quality set, heat added.

I have been screwing alone for a few years, which really tests my forearm :wink:

Got these screwdrivers free with 5 litres of cheap oil 2 months ago. Handy to keep in the boot.

Same price on fleabay but free delivery...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Halfords-Advanced-Professional-Screwdriver-Set-Kit-8-Piece-Plain-Slot-Pozi-Drive-/321583272086?hash=item4adfdb5096:g:Sj4AAOSw~gRV7Xmq

Thank you! Reserved for new house

These are always on offer, or being given away with oil. Weren't they going for £5 a while back?

Irrespective, they are fairly decent screwdrivers that will be perfect for most peoples requirements.

I've these, they're really good. I recommend them highly

That's a great deal but for anyone looking for a screwdriver set then head down to wilko's. There's a stanley 48 piece set for £12! leftover black friday deals. It's a couple of quid more but in my opinion it's well worth it. http://www.wilko.com/black-friday-deals/stanley-48pc-screwdriver-and-bit-set/invt/0426241

Obviously married men then:(

Damn wish I had my time machine, id head back to christmas last year when these were 2 x sets for £7 or £8.

Oh well I will just laugh maniacally at the suckers who are getting a pitiful 1 x set instead of a mighty x 2


Heat anyway for my 16 screwdrivers

The Halfords set is much better quality than Stanley stuff.

The screw wins every time with the Stanley stuff.

cheers op, those questioning this deal obviously don't do lot of screwing!

Thanks op :smiley: ordered two hope to get 02 priority on both

Potential 2.5% in store cashback if you pay with a card that's registered with quidco.

​It's just halfords premium brand. They have standard halfords tools or halfords advance which are better quality and have the lifetime guarantee.

For 10% off workshop tools you can use the code: B16WT05

I tried the other code listed and it didn't work. Great find btw.

Advanced ?? you turn normal screwdrivers clockwise or anti-clockwise, what else can these do, open paint tins ?

Good quality chisels

Shame there are no ph screwdrivers in the set.

Great set at a great price.
