My cheapo clarke on is OK, but bit small.

Keep toying with £144 Halfords Pro one, or a big one on wheels from Costco at £350.

But I'll still end up with tools scattered all over the garage floor

£144 - 80 on trade card

picked up one of the 'better' ones, could barely lift it!

So few tools in it and its static!

Will look again at the cheaper ones, think they will be best.

I thought it was still £144 even on trade, as its a sale price  :-/

This is the one I was looking at

Maybe not then, I was looking at the red ones.  Sorry

I got mine from Machine Mart, went in to get a £60ish box and got a £120  ex display for £75.

Have a look in thier "clearance corner"

I am going to get one on wheels. Fed up with lugging mine about...

.. Here you go. An ideal one from the Halfords range for the mobile mechanic. No p1$$ing about with drawers either.

Not that great a box snap on ones, my dad has had one for years and its falling apart.

When he took them up on the lifetime warranty, they refunded what he paid for it 30 years ago.......snap on really are over rated and only exist thanks to the finance terms they offer the emchanics!

The Snap on guy was here on Thursday, had an Aston Martin Box with plaques, pictures etc, massive wheeled box, £2k!!!!!!!!!!!! However the box he took in PX for the Aston one was £350 and seemed a bargain. We bought a Mac " FOOSE " special off e-bay, complete with 4 drawers of tools for £400, all in individual foam cut outs, lets you know what youve left under a bonnet when you put the tools away!!
I like that idea, if anyone borrows a tool you know whats missing.

Did a search looking for sykes and pikavant, have they stopped making tool chests?
found this instead,
