Halfords Pro / Draper Expert

[-Z-]

Is Draper Expert warranted for life?

Anyone know precisely what’s in the Halfords Pro 150pc Socket Set?

Anyone had any experience with these Halfords Pro eXtreme ratchets?

Most English tools have a one year warranty. As shipping is sometimes more than the tool cost your basically on your own. If you buy some from Matco's
parent company they are about triple. This is if you live in the USA.

Google Draper and ask them about the warranty.
Halfords Pro are warranted for life.
You can't be far from a Halfords... go and look at the 150pc set yourself.


BTW with regards to warranties. The Sale of Goods Act covers SIX years, so anyone offering one year tell them to go swivel.

blame that one on the "discussion" I had with an Argos manager yesterday morning !

I told him that I know the Sale of Goods Act and he blinking well ought to know it, being in his position an' all, so can we cut out all the dancing around please and give me my money back... he gave me my money back !

No.

Acquiescent Argos drones notwithstanding, that's something of a misconception. While the SoGA does establish the six year limit for action on goods which prove to have been faulty at the time of sale, the protection offered isn't equivalent to a warranty since the latter extends the reverse burden of proof over the usual six month limit.

i have owned a halfords pro socket set for nearly 20 years. the only trouble i have had with it is a worn 3/8'' drive ratchet in which i replaced with a repair kit available from halfords for less than half the price of the ratchet.
