Every tradesperson relies on their tools. They’re essential for getting the job done and when one goes missing, it’s more than just an inconvenience. Replacing a lost tool often means dealing with new designs, mismatched sets or products that simply don’t perform like your old favourite.
While we can’t help with the heartbreak of losing a trusted tool, we can offer a smart, cost‑effective solution: Halfords Advanced hand tools, all backed by a lifetime guarantee. And if you lose a tool from a set, you can even buy individual replacements. The range includes everything from large socket sets and breaker bars to modular trays designed to keep your toolbox organised and professional.
Modular trays
If you’re building or upgrading your tool kit, the Halfords Advanced modular tray range is a great place to begin. Each tray is housed in precision‑cut foam, keeping tools secure, organised and easy to access. They’re ideal for experienced mechanics refreshing their setup or apprentices starting from scratch.
Available modular trays include:
- 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2” drive socket sets with ratchets and extensions
- 1/2” drive impact socket tray with power extension for impact guns
- Plier sets, screwdriver sets and spanner sets
These trays fit perfectly into Halfords tool chests and cabinets, and you can also buy a dedicated storage case to carry your favourite three trays or stack them neatly alongside your socket sets.
Torque wrenches and breaker bars
To enhance your tool kit further, consider adding a Halfords Advanced torque wrench. Options range from:
- 3/8” drive (12–60Nm)
- 1/2” drive (60–300Nm)
Every torque wrench includes a Declaration of Conformity (formerly a calibration certificate) and can be recalibrated when needed.
If you need extra leverage, the Halfords Advanced breaker bars, including the popular 24” 1/2” drive bar, offer excellent value and come with the same Lifetime Guarantee.
Socket sets
If you want a reliable all‑purpose kit for your garage or car boot, the Halfords Advanced metric socket set range is hard to beat.
A standout option is the 200‑piece socket and ratchet spanner set, which includes:
- Standard and deep 6‑point sockets
- An 18” breaker bar for stubborn fasteners
- Colour‑coded, nylon‑coated alloy wheel nut sockets
- Long and short hex, Torx and spline bits
These sets now feature revised 100‑tooth ratchets, offering smoother operation than the 45‑tooth versions commonly found elsewhere. With an average rating of 4.9/5, they’re a favourite among both professionals and apprentices.
Tool kits
For a versatile, portable option, the Halfords Advanced 121-Piece Mobile Car Maintenance Tool Kit is a must‑have. It includes:
- Core sockets and spanners
- Screwdrivers
- Pliers
- A ball pein hammer
This kit covers around 90% of common car jobs, making it ideal for keeping in your boot for roadside repairs or quick fixes.
