Mix of Halfords Pro and Teng for me.

Trusty 3/8 Teng tool kit has done me proud over the years. Got some others but this set is the one that gets used most.

Mini tool box £3 from a supermarket has held up reasonably well for storing vital bits 'n' bobs :)

I do dream of a car lift! One day....one day :cool:
 
Here's mine, not a great pic but it's the only one I have.

I've been in the trade about 5 years now, ans slowly building up my collection. Got the box earlier this year :)

I have a mixture of Halfords Professional, MAC, Snap-On, Sealey and Britool stuff, and a few other bits and pieces. I daren't think how much it stands me at. But They're all mine for life. :)
 
I thought a toolbox just had to have Duck Tape and WD40:

If it moves and shouldn't - Duck Tape it
If it doesnt move and it should - WD40

:P

thats the one i have. i got it from ECP when they did tools, but for much much less.

it had a nice ratchet on top (i had other torque wrenches in the past that failed due to stripping teeth off the ratchet) but the sealey fees really solid

Only really use it for wheel nuts, £20 and does the job

Only ever broken halfords torx bits, that's through a lot of abuse though! They always replace them no questions asked :)

I don't recall anything else breaking though. I do look after my tools as much as I can :)

every now and then I give all my ratchets a spray of WD40 , I had one of them metal thingis lol with around 8 or so torx bits on it. Now I only have 3 of them left, they all broken and refused to replace as I don't have any proof of buying them any more.

I quite often strip my ratchets down, especially after they're had a soaking in brake fluid or something :P

But yes you need a receipt for anything from Halfords, which I find stupid as it has Halfords stamped on it!
