    Hey guys,

    Have been given a 150 euro voucher for halfords.

    I do all the work on my own car and my gfs (from services to replacing clutche, etc).

    I normally use my mates garage and tools as hes a mechanic. Would like to start my own set of tools.

    I know the quality of halford stuff isnt great, but what would you buy?

    ThAnks,
    M

    This, if you don't already have them, you could buy wax and polish and a nice head unit with it.

    I spent about 600euro in Halfords a couple of years ago on tools, profesional range all of them and got a nice tool chest with sliding drawers.....sweet.
    I only use them as "Hobby" tools but find then great.
    Start with a good rachet set and spanner set.
