Ive had one of these for about a year and keep it in the car, I couldnt begin to tell you how handy it is, well worth the money at this price.

That is good value, might pop over and see if they got one in store tomorrow.
Save me carrying around the whole tool box everywhere, downside to that is the wife will want to use my petrol to go shopping as there will be more space available in the fronty

Re: An other Halfords Bargain by jontera on Sun Dec 13, 2009 8:57 pm
got mine today from the store. very nice bit of kit, can see the sense of it just needs a few other bits.....but hammer won't fit.

Drift, que to get in was ok (about 12) but getting out on to the bridge was a bit of a nightmare, one nobby nob decided to beep me into driving onto the mini-roundabout (at b&Q) at which point i thought a ciggy was better than a reverse movement into his BMW...he gave me the evil eye/look all the way down dunnings bridge until I gave him the "finger" at the next lights at which point he tried to cut in front of me....I was turning left. numpty

:lol: :lol: the Old Roan junction, shame as that usually claims knobs in beamers there, about two crashes a week at that junction, Ormskirk Road aint it :wink:

I like the fact nothing in it bouncing around and rattling, I had that with a tool box it did my head in :oh yer:
Its got all the main socket sizes for the Frontera too and an extension bar, zip ties are handy as well 8)

thats the one ormy road junction. Dunings bridge is the one the old bill don't reckon is a black spot (desite all the accidents outside their "house")

tool kit just needs a couple of extras, to complete it for fronty roadside recovery.

That Halfords wallet was the first tool kit I bought for the truck the day after I bought it. Have added and lost a couple of bits over the years but its still mostly in one piece. Sits inside a tool bag in the boot now.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

Another very important item which i always carry is a Fire Extinguisher - having had an engine burst into flames in the middle of a busy traffic jam in central London once it is a horrible fear that still haunts me to this day... :(
