Collected this afternoon at £10.62, thanks OP.

I bought one on Sunday for about £21.50 so well spotted Op and well done for anyone getting it around £10.62.

It is OOS in nearly all areas now and the code has expired. That is what comes if you don't check HUKD every day.
I would have bought another as a present.

I got the 170 piece set a few years ago for around #125 when it was on offer. To be honest, I still mainly use an halfords 1/2 inch drive set from the 80's and one of the dead cheap 1/4 drive socket set I bought from Halfords for #9.99 many years back as the 170 piece one is a tad large to lug about. However; when I do use it, with today's cars and bikes I have used most of the sockets and torx drives (male and female) and the ratchet spanners have been a godsend on many an occasion. the things like allen keys and screwdriver bits are very rarely used from the set and it is a bit of a con to get the set to 170 piece by putting them in.

The ratchet spanners are rarely reduced in price (not like the swivel head ones) and taking into account the sockets, etc. the 170 piece set is well worth buying when you can get it around the #125 mark.

But I still buy the smaller sets as I can leave these in the car, the 1/4 drive sets now sold as these ones (same set different case) halfords.com/wor…1-4 has taken some real abuse, many a time I've expected the ratchet or sockets to break but to date they have held up well :)....well worth buying when they are 2 for #20 or #9.99

Sorry about the # for some reason my pound sign has stopped working :smile:

I got their 120 set box. God tools with lifetime guarantee. I might buy that just to keep in the car. Thank you and heat added. :sunglasses:

Collected today with the further 10% off in store purchase voucher, very pleased, have a few advanced sets now, I use fairly often with no problems. Thumbs up from me.

Be careful, just used click and collect on three different items transacted as separate orders, Socket set + Pliers + Adjustable Spanner. My email confirmation shows the 15% code was applied successfully on each item, only when I returned home did I realize that the receipt showed the full price on the Socket set and Pliers. Too much hassle to return but rather annoyed. Next time I will take my confirmation email and check the receipt before leaving.

I had a metric set and never used it, most things I come across at in mm

price is good but 12 point sockets are the devils creation...

i think its hit & miss depending on your local stores, they have implimented a guideline ( so i have been informed by the manager last year anywhoo ) where you cant mutiple stack instore anymore ( so i may have issues if i wandered in with the instore voucher in this thread & the BC discount card ( i would get 1 or the other - had that with a set of discount pedals from a store a little ways away, would only let me have a voucher or BC discount ontop of the sale pedals with online discount already applied, opted for the voucher as it was for 20% :grin: )

been the same way with the bikes i have ordered too, waited till a flash sale & occasionally dropped on lucky & found a voucher code on here too so a double stack online discount & they still took BC discount off instore ( & paid by vouchers bought @ 10% off too )

That's exactly the same. The voucher I posted 'used to' include the sentence, 'this voucher will only be valid when supported by proof of entitlement...' I have used this many times now and it has always worked. Even when combined with other discount codes online. Also, if anyone has access to corporateperks.com you can get an extra 10% off by paying using discounted Halfords vouchers. I got an £800 bike for £630 using this method.

i dont think it is, i got a not valid error when trying to buy a breaker bar spare head a couple of hours ago ( even when i added a tool set to the basket i got the same ) :disappointed:

I think this is for employee's of Morton Michel, a bit like the Gregg's staff version here:

greggsemployeebenefits.co.uk/ind…ses

Sadly the code was not working for me and website shows item unavailable for either collection or delivery (York). However, looks like it is still available for collection at a few stores, so you might have better luck. I've ordered the 27 piece 1/4" set they have on eBay for £12.50 instead: ebay.co.uk/itm…194

That's interesting. I was under the impression they DIDN'T accept BC cards with online reservations? Might try it out, got nothing to lose.

Got this set for £16 with the Halfords card a few weeks ago and was walking around with a big fat smile. This is an amazing price.

Is B17TOOLS15 no longer valid guys? Just had a friend try and use it and it wasn't working...

He's got the 10% though so should still be happy :smile:

the 1/4" was reduced last week. is it worth buying all the individual sets over the all singing and dancing 170 piece set?

I got the 1/4" from the other day. I'd have got these too if there were any local to me.

Just showed it on my iPad and she scanned the screen. Used it many times now on dash cams, bikes, tools etc. Never had an issu

might just be me, BUT i think the online voucher code has stopped working now :disappointed:

every time i use it ( just as i have been for a while now ) it comes up with an error stating i need to enter a valid voucher code.

it was nice while it lasted :grin:

I did the same.................buy this set to!.......like me :grin:

Cashier thought i had a trade voucher and accepted it and returned to me :blush:

Printed it off. Worked fine.

The only thing putting me off is the 1/4 set uses 6 point (hexagonal) sockets, this 3/8 set uses the 12 point (circular) sockets. I prefer 6 point sockets as they are less likely to round off bolt heads.

buy both :grin:

i got the small 1/4" set recently at the same price & the small 3/8" one too that was similar priced if memory served a few weeks ago now. ( why i dont know as i already have both sets ) i have also ordered one of these too to go on the pile with my other halfords socket sets awaiting a use - you can never have too many decent wratchets nd sockets

my local store has had no worries about applying British Cycling 10% off ontop of the online voucher code on the many items recently purchased.

why i have done so i dont know but ordered this a few hours ago ( glad i did so now ) to go with the smaller 3/8 & 1/4 inch sets also bought recently ( as 2nd sets for the set of each i've had for a couple of years already lol )

also worth a gander at is the repair kits for the wratchets


halfords.com/web…=-1

the precision kits are for the wratchets that used to be sold in this set they no longer do

ebay.co.uk/itm…227

that contained the smaller extreme wratchets or you could buy the 1/2 inch handle seperate ( still can where there is stock & its on offer @ £15

yes i know the lifetime warrenty covers wratchets now but @ 85p with code ( 77p with british cycling or above instore voucher ontop ) they are worth it just incase you have a mechanical when the stores are closed so you can get going again without wainting till the stores re-open - sadly the standard 45 tooth 3/8 repair kit aint online BUT both my local stores had a couple on the shelves - sadly no online code could be applied so alas a 90p purchase but still cheap )

Damn! Got the 1/4 one the other day but would have preferred this one :disappointed:

28 piece socket set out of stock for pickup and delivery....nearest is Barnstaple....not good as if your in South Wales! Have noticed however; that the 27 piece 1/4 drive socket set is still available for purchase and pick up from store on their fleabay page but no discount code :disappointed:‌ ebay.co.uk/itm…Xmv ....or If you have it in your recently viewed items at bottom of halfords page, add to basket from there (as won't load page) and add discount code and ask for pickup from store :smile:

Showing out of Stock for delivery :disappointed:

Wouldn't accept the voucher instore with me, said I had already used a voucher online....I didn't argue as it was cheap anyway :smile:

How did any of u guys use the additional instore voucher ? Did u print it off or show your mobile ??

Now only available at certain stores, not many left. Halfords ebay shop was selling them at £12:50 also. they've sold out, having sold 1400+ in last couple of hours!! HOT thanks. OP

How tight does it need to be retorqued ? For 27mm you'll probably need 1/2", I'd be tempted to get an 18" breaker bar and 27mm socket. My 18" halfords breaker bar is probably my most used socket accessory, the 24" version is too long - too bendy

Cheers op. Just ordered one :thumbsup:

That's the spirit

In Halfords

Just got mine for 10.62 plus a further 10% with printed vouch. above. Use pockit card for 6% cashback. Mega!

Ordered - brillianr

+1

Ordered - thanks OP

Ordered but don't really need it

Cheers OP - just ordered one from their eBay site for £12.50 with free delivery

Anyone know where I can buy a single socket at a reasonable price from? This looks good, but would need a 27mm for a job on my car.

Very good price for this.....
Shame it doesn't have a breaker bar, or sliding t bar, to avoid abusing the ratchet mechanism..... but one cant really complain at this cheap price.

And i thought £20 from Halfords ebay in June was good for this set, mega price a real steal.

Thanks OP for the heads up on this, reserved, absolute steal at this price. Also reserved a couple of other items that seem good value. T bar tool kit and a 3 piece plier set.

halfords.com/wor…kit

halfords.com/wor…set

Discount code worked on the plier set only but not complaining at £9.25 for the two.

Bought the 1/4 set the other day for the same price, would rather have had the 3/8.

Get in! Missed this last time and my local has stock now... these and the spanners last week for under a score, result :raised_hand:

Heated OP.

Thanks very much.

I ordered these on Sunday at £25 :cry:
just rang and them up going to refund me £12.50 :grin:

excellent - many thanks!

£80? pah! Google cache says otherwise: webcache.googleusercontent.com/sea…=uk

Thanks. Bought just for the deep sockets, at £1 each it's worth it to get these alone.

Argh, bought the 18-piece for exactly the same price a few months back... Don't think the chances of them allowing me to swap it for this one are high. Must resist!

Don't really need it but seems stupid not to buy at this price, will chuck it in the car for emergencies. Thanks OP!

Just ordered, great deal. Thanks ssc1

Oh cripes not another one... Thanks!

That's an insane price, I was looking at some deep sockets just this morning! Ordered and heat given, cheers OP! :thumbsup:

On web site price was £80 OMG

B17TOOLS15 - damn. Didn't see that... shouldn't complain really: I've used TCB, Quidco In-Store AND if this barcode scans? :grin:

Fantastic! was loloking at this a few days ago for £25, glad I waited, Thanks OP!

Great find - heat added

Speedbirdjw added this to a previous thread which may come in useful

Thank

What's the code

Must resist, I've a garage full of Halfords socket sets now :smile: heat anyway, price is nuts for the quality and guarantee.

Must have. Free c+c. Reserve via TCB for another ~3% cashback.
