Got most of this lot myself already but if someone is after cheap tools see below
£80 down from £200, seems a good deal tbh

Hmmm there would be an overlap on my current tools - but that seems like an absolute bargain.
I may go for this - good shout!

Just been in store, they had:
170pc - £125
150pc - £80
120pc - £80
90pc - £60 (I think)
I've grabbed the 150pc set - blows my requirements out of the water and seems like good stuff.

That's the set I have knocking about in the back of the car!
I've had no hassles with it and never really needed any other tools, (doesnt stop me buying numerous tools lol)
I may go get another set as a spare lol.

Used these set over and over again, taken out few engines now, using pretty much just this set.
No issues only two things broke which were swapped for free.
Top quality, goes on sale about 6 times a year though

how does one go about getting a trade card? i found out i can get one due to who i work for.
just a case of walking in and asking for one? or does it involve a shit load of checks and paperwork?

Seen their deals the other night, tempted to get another set to have at home / throw in the car. The box on my last set had seen better days and its now in my tool box at the farm so not easiest for transporting about. Had it for at least 5 years and everything still works perfectly, was one of the older 180pc sets, dont think they do them anymore, just slightly different versions

Just went to buy a set but decided it wasn't worth it for me. Not enough 1/2" stuff included and mostly 12 point sockets.
