Folks i would highly recommend 6pt socket sets as opposed to 12pt sockets. 6pt gives a lot more contact area and much less likely to round bolts.

I agree with the above comment. 6pt sockets are far superior. These are 6pt. For a general socket set, 1/4 inch is too small though. I have a Halfords advanced set which includes 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2. The 1/2 gets used mostly on my pickup truck but for my motorbike and project car (mr2) the 3/8 ratchet is the best all rounder. I actually broke this very 1/4 inch ratchet 2 weeks ago, I was removing a stubborn bolt holding a caliper on - should've used a bigger ratchet. I put a bar over it and wrenched down, the end twisted and broke off. Took it to Halfords the next day, straight replacement with it being the advanced range, no questions asked. It was priced at £20 to buy on its own!
I would always go with Halfords advanced, their tools are great an stand up to (most) jobs - plenty branches nationwide to swap tools over if they do break. The alternative is either cheap Chinese tools off ebay that don't last or paying a fortune for snap on - Which take longer to get replacements of if the tool breaks. Heat added. Go for the 3/8" set.

Good find O.P.
Mary Poppins! :confused: I've just seen their 1/2" drive set too reduced to £25. Goes up to 34mm. :smiley:

For oil and filter change on a car (which is all I would do) is this a good set for sizes. I also noticed there's 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch sets too for the same price

I'd recommend the 3/8" or the 1/2" for sump plug and changing an oil filter. You would probably find less use for a 1/4" set for most jobs.

sump plugs can be tight so 3/8 for them and for oil filter buy one of the chain tools if you have room to get them in.

The 1/2" set is a great buy :smiley:

What's that size particularly useful for?

The size of the sockets? (wheel bearing nuts etc) or the actual ratchet and bars? (heavier duty fixings i.e driveshafts
bolts, suspension/brake component removal)
When paired with a 3/4" breaker bar and a 1/2" adapter you've got a good kit to tackle a broad spectrum of 'beefier' jobs :smiley:

Don't use a ratchet to break a stuck nut rather than using a bigger one is the key to not breaking them. That's what breaker bars are for :wink:
Good to hear the warranty is good though, I have quite a few of the Halfords Advance range in my tool box
