ive got alot of halfords tools as i work there as a bike specialist. ive never borke anything other than the breaker bars. we have at least two a week back. saying that my friend ahs also snapped his teng tools one and a bluepoint one soo. i think its just the load there put under the heads arnt strong enough. maybe ab igger bar with a downsize bit on the end would make it stronger? its what i have had to do as im not buying another one to just break it. ive still got my replacment halfors one but i only use that when i dont need amazing force to undo something On 27th Apr, 2010 Rick.SPI said:

i know bluepoint is meant to be snap on's slightly lesser brother, but tbh most of the smaller bp stuff i see in the van is cheapo made in china crap

Some of the BP stuff is OK, but I agree there certainly is some shite. Snap On Eurotools is poor as well IMO.

I use a Mac half inch and a Britool three quarter, had both for at least fifteen years and both have seen the inside of long scaffold tubes, cars and HGV. |
