Halfords Advanced Professional Ratchet Set

Top quality as we’ve come to expect from Halfords’ Professional tools and worth going for if you can afford it.

Overall Auto Express rating

4.0

Recommended

Top quality as we’ve come to expect from Halfords’ Professional tools and worth going for if you can afford it. The 12 spanners cover not just our essentials, but every size you’ll need. And while a tool roll might be more useful than the bulky hanging rack, you get one of the smoothest ratchet mechanisms on test. Our sizing and torque tests were no problem, either.
