Halfrords Professional Vs Advanced tools

[Jay762]

Hi all - dont if this will impact anyone on here but thought I would share.

Had a defective vernier caliper branded Halfords Professional - came with a lifetime guarantee at the time of purchase. Went to exchange today and was asked for a receipt - I didnt have one but the lady went off to check.

Long story short they will exchange it for a laser option (no advanced option in the range) which is fair enough.

However I was advised to bring in all my Halfords professional branded tools to get them replaced with Halfords advanced alternatives to maintain the lifetime guarantee asap.

I will be having a rummage through later and replacing whatever I have as advised
