Halfords Pro Tool Boxes

[tomp]

have a look at teng tools boxes, few people at work use them and theyve lasted well. not that much more expensive than halfords

Yeah they look good but they are quite a bit more.....

Same for Sealey really too, looking on ebay

I had all them boxes. Quality is good, roller bearing draws which open fine with loads of heavy tools.
Only problems I had was the wheels are sh!t, which is all right if you're not moving the box. But mine bent inwards after two weeks.
And after time the locks keep messing up. You lock it and half the draws are still open.

Sold mine for £100 a couple months back.

shut the draws, then close the lid.

And the catches at the back don't lock the draws. You have to keep bending them back. Which at home time is a pain in the arse

That is really cheap, but I want something a bit bigger, although I could buy three of them for the same money!!

I've got the Halfords Industrial ones. (black ones) I bought them in the buy the top box get the bottom box free deal a while ago. There brill the only thing i've done to them is fix 3mm steel plate between castors as the bottom is a bit flexy and could buckle if you hit something pushing them when they are full. Which is what happened to a mate of mine with the same boxes

well the short version of the story goes summat like this.

Guy comes round, stirs up the hornets nest, and then leaves

then 

me -  Can I have my tools in the house - i am fed up struggling in and out of the shed

her - No

me - I will move your shrank cabinet into the lounge diner

her - ok then

and it end up with



which didnt look too pretty

so - next upm blanket to hide it 



which she still wasnt impressed with 

so following on from Guy advice of doing summat together, we hit Halford, and after some serious ENCOURAGEMENT from Her, the bottom box is bought and Halfords kindly gave me the top box for free



She even helped me swapp all the tools over, remove all the advertisement stickers and i even found an old sticker to make it feel at home
