When browsing garage and workshop essentials on Halfords.com, you may have seen the Halfords Advanced tool range and wondered what sets it apart from other brands. Halfords Advanced tools are designed for durability, precision and performance, offering high-quality hand tools built to handle demanding jobs with confidence.
From robust materials and thoughtful design to reliable, professional-grade results, the Halfords Advanced range is engineered to help you get the job done right.
Here’s why Halfords Advanced tools stand out and why they’re among our best-selling hand tools.
Tools with a strong, durable design
All Halfords Advanced ratchets, sockets and spanners are made from durable alloy steel, which gives them the strength to deliver long-lasting performance. The polished chrome finish not only looks great, but provides corrosion resistance for a lifetime of use.
Our screwdriver design is one of the most durable on the market, as it features a notched metal rod that goes further into the handle, making it less likely to come loose.
Look out for the surface drive feature on the open end of our combination and ratcheting spanners. This feature ensures that the spanner grips the flat sides of the fastener, rather than the corners, which provides up to 28% more torque before rounding.
Precision built in
Precision is essential for professional-grade tools, and the Halfords Advanced range is designed with accuracy at its core.
Halfords Advanced torque wrenches are accurate to ±3% of the reading, meeting ISO 6789-1:2017 standards. Their high-quality mechanism and components ensure consistent torque and repeatability every time.
Industrial-grade “push-through” ratchets provide control for both clockwise and anticlockwise torque, and each tool is supplied with a Declaration of Conformance to verify its accuracy.
Easy to use in tight spaces
Working on vehicles can sometimes be frustrating, and not having the right tool for easy access to the section you’re working on can make it worse. So, we’ve designed lots of little features across the range, to try and help you get out of those difficult situations, as quickly as possible.
Halfords Advanced ratchets have a slimline head and longer handles, to give you better access and increased leverage in confined spaces. But for even tighter spaces, try our ratchet spanner adaptors, which pop onto the end of your ratchet spanner to give you an ultra-compact ratchet.
Our socket sets come with a range of hex, security torx and spline bits for non-bolt fixings, and these come in both long and short reach to help you out in all situations, with a thick 10mm shaft to reduce the chance of breaking. We’ve also now got our customer favourite 200-piece socket set in a black version!
Tool organisation
Having everything in one place helps to get the job done quickly and efficiently, and with that in mind, we’ve designed our socket sets to have a good breadth of tools to reduce the number of times you have to go back to your toolbox for those other tools or bits.
And for a complete solution, there are the Halfords Advanced modular trays. The range covers a wide variety of tools, from plier sets to wrench sets, all in Halfords Advanced branding. Designed to fit into Halfords Advanced metal storage, these trays help you to build your own tool kit with exactly what you need to get the job done.
Tools designed by professionals
Our tools are trusted by professionals in garages, colleges, and driveways across the country. With these expert users in mind, every toolkit we offer is designed by professionals for real-world use.
Every toolkit has been reviewed using feedback from industry experts before launch. This means that all our tool kits have been developed to provide a wide range of tools, all designed to help you get the job done efficiently, without wasting space on things that you won’t be using as often.
