Their profit margins on those must be substantial as they are often offered with large discounts. I've got one of the pretty comprehensive Halfords sets. Buying that was the best thing my ex girlfriend did for me, apart from TIUTA. One of the neighbours was helping his son change the tyre on an old vespa. He saw me working on my car and came over to ask if he could borrow some tools. All he had was an old ice cream tub containing a few rusty old spanners and screwdrivers! I opened the Halfords box (looks a bit like a sniper rifle case) FX: SHWING! and chrome glinting in the sunlight. Cue the dad's face simultaneously displaying astonishment, envy and a tangible feeling of man-inferiority. HA!
