rallyeluke 0 Posted March 23, 2008 take it back to Halfords for a free replacement unfortunatly to top it all off the tool was not even mine it was my mates, but im under the impression that is what he is going to do with the tool, my local halfords has no torx t55 in stock only available on a strip of about 10 diff ones for 20 pounds! i dont want all them so i have to go for a drive today abit further afield to find one for sale at another halfords.

They are s*ite. I've been through 6 or so. Infact, i snapped one doing a head bolt up! I now use a Draper, as does a freind. It hasn't broken yet, and undone one head bolt that killed 2 halfords ones... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
