Not sure how this compares with retail but sounds cheap.

Can't remember what I paid for the set but it might work out cheaper this way.

Set currently up there at £79 quid, Trade or discount will be less, not sure.

If anyone's in need of a new set I can't recommend these highly enough: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=290708359320

Been using them 5 days a week for two years now and I can't fault them.

Good grief that's cheap!!!

Shame there's only one review though. And that it's a bad one.

I've got the Halfords Pro set of the Flexible Head Ratchet spanners, ranged from 8mm through to 19mm. I'd been using them almost daily until recently, and have had them for 7 years - not had a single one fail on me and all are still working well.
The only issue I do have, is that with one of them (17mm I think), the flexible joint has become a little loose now so it can flop about a bit, but it still works fine and the flexible bit isn't overly used once the spanner is engaged.

I'd recommend them personally.
