    Avoid the cheap sets.. Instead of buying a chocolate teapot set. Spend the money on one decent ratchet and add decent sockets later.

    I wouldnt normally say Halfords.. But their sets are OK quality. Bit overpriced.
    Wait for the 50% off offer. Even then they are a bit dear.

    Machine mart sell draper and clarke sets. Never had any issues with either.

    its usually the poor quality sets that end up discounted.

    but i agree with the rest of the advice/

    dont bother with halfords, just get a good set from screwfix - they have decent prices all year round. The stuff you see in sale is never really good value to begin with - theyre ususally overpriced for the rest of the year. You never see teng stuff on sale. Assuming you can drive there with out caravan and its not stationary (screwfix tend not to be close to public transport and closer to industrial parks)
