David Gander Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Didn’t mean to push the boat out as I didn’t need another tool box, but the Halford’s offer on their their three-stack professional looked really good at £299? Will relegate the old box to the general workshop for everyday tools. Looks good with the other special Aldi purchase which was a snip at £80! D.

World Citizen Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 what is the quality like on these boxes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Gander Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Thanks Angus, quality is ok with ball bearing runners on the drawers WC. Not in the same league as Snap-On, Halfords call this range ‘Professional’, but I’d take that with a pinch of salt as wear and tear in a commercial garage would take it’s toll. Think that it’s fine for a private garage though. Regards, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osc911 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I picked up an ex-demo Montezuma one from Costco for about £150 (RRP around £300) about 5 drawers double stack - basically has a lifetime warranty, so far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busybee Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I’m thinking of investing in a chest for my tools. Anyone tried the US Pro chests from fleabay? 14 drawer unit for under £170. Made from tinfoil right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Hi, Yes I bought a us pro one a few years ago from an eBay seller who lists loads of different uspro tool boxes. It’s the stainless steel type with a wooden butchers block style top. The quality is very very good for the price. I’d say not as good as Snapon of course but better than Halfords if you know what I mean. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a 16 drawer model listed for just over £170. Pretty tempting and gets all my tools in one place (currently hung on the walls, under benches ....). That with a pull around trolly and I’ll feel like a pro 😂 Haith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Yeh the stainless ones are a bit bigger. It was a big purchase for me at the time. I took a long time to decide, but the man maths won in the end ! Havent regretted the purchse, as you say all my tools and stuff in one place. Moved house recently and just wheeled it out of the garage on to the removal van and out into the new place. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mean in green Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Glad to hear it went so smoothly. There’s a YT clip of an American unloading his gargantuan tool chest - with unlocked draws - from an HGV using a ramp. The result was not very pro...
