Tool Kit.

Don't know whether to post this in Motors or here, so I'll start here. Anyone know of where I'd get a decent quality (but not outrageously priced) tool kit for general use? After spending my lunch hour trying to sort out the mother-in-law's wipers with my cheapo set (and making plop of my knuckles in the process!), I…

It'll be used for general car maintenance and for bit and pieces around the house.

Thanks.

Try Lenwoods cash & carry near Audi in Finglas, it's trade only but if you can get in you won't get stuff cheaper.

Pound-for-pound you won't get better tool kit than the Halfords Pro Kit.

I got mine for €125, reduced from €250 in the summer.

Here's link: http://www.halfords.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_11101_catalogId_15551_productId_862463_langId_-1_categoryId_212410

Although I see it's gone up to €299 there. (But maybe that's just around Christmas).

Watch out for it dropping 50%, it does often.

Here's a thread already put up that may help you:

If I click on the link in the topic you linked it comes up @ €124.99? Anyway here's a copy/paste: http://www.halfords.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_11101_catalogId_15551_productId_173083_langId_-1_categoryId_212410
-edit- just see its not the same, one is 150, other 170 piece... Still with the €150 price difference I think you can pick up the missing 20bits;-)
Also since Col200sx said the original price was €250 I think I actually linked the one he has?!

For an all round tool set you can't go too far wrong with this one.
