    Are there any trays for this set to put the contents in a toolbox? I can only find trays for 150pc sets

      I think there should be maybe on eBay if halfords don’t have one , if not you can take out the slider pin holding the top and bottom together and it will separate and may go into your tool box worth a try thanks for watching appreciate your comment

    Just bought one looks great the staff at halfords claim that the advanced range is made by snap on for halfords.

    I remember getting my old 200pc black set in 2016/2017 and it was £127.50 it was half price plus an extra code for 15% of tools. At the time they were nearly always half price or heavily discounted. Even though I got the black set (which was a tactical choice) that they don’t sell anymore, I’ve never had an issue yet if I’ve had to swap broken bits. The main ones are t27 that I have issues with, broke it and swapped it went to use it next time on a maf sensor screw and it literally crumbled with no effort. Other thing I like about the old over the new is the size of the box, new are stupid big and heavy in comparison but there’s things in the new set I like over the old, like 3/8 deep sockets are 6 point not 12 point and the 3/8 go slightly lower in size but on the other hand, I get more impact sockets from 13mm to 24mm or the screwdriver bits are in a little box instead of just those sleeve things and ratchet length on the old is slightly shorter which I like, usually I just use a 30cm 3/8 flex head which is perfect but sometimes I need something shorter or 1/2 I use a 45cm flex head but again sometimes need something a little shorter so both have pros and cons.
    Although THE biggest downside, the old box I get the 4 smallest etorx sockets come out of the holes with no foam in the box but the new one, a lot more bits fall out of place so you have to keep the foam in which is a massive pain In the arse when you work outside and it’s windy

    Do you still use this stuff? How's the quality and how are they still doing?. Also what item do you use so you can use the torx from the bottom left of the tool box
    I'm looking to get a set. Someone is selling a full set for €275

    • @TheCrazyGarage
      @TheCrazyGarage  3 роки тому +2

      Yes it’s all amazing the kit has everything that you need to work on cars the bits have adapters in there for them to be used with a 1/2 inch or 3/8 ratchet

      @@TheCrazyGarage yeah. Looks like a great set, only think it's missing is the flex head ratchets but I'll get that seperate. I think I might buy it. The other lad at work has one and he says it's great. If something breaks you can get it replaced but. Not sure if that's true😂 heard mixed reviews of Halfords being bad but if he says that you just being it to them and if it's broke they can replace it or something

    • @TheCrazyGarage
      @TheCrazyGarage  3 роки тому +1

      Yes they are good at replacing it I had a small torx set and they replaced a couple when they broke
      If one tool brakes out of the kit I’ll make a video about there warranty 👍👍
