Anyone here had any experience with the Halfords professional tool chests?( http://www.halfords.com/workshop-too...7-drawer-chest ). I'm looking for a decent chest but not willing to sell a kidney to afford a snap on. I know the Halfords advanced tools are good as iv got them but no experience of the professional chest quality. Cheers for any advice.
Not personally. I have an eclectic mix of all sorts. However, have heard many excellent reviews of these, and no negatives. Life time guarantee with no questions asked.Quote:

I think il just order it and be done with it, I love buying new tools, it's abit like getting a new toy when I was a kid :)Quote:

My new tool chests have arrived and are really good quality, iv got an old snap on one and can't say there's a lot of difference in the quality,time will tell if it's just because there new. I actually got an even bigger bargain as after unwrapping them I noticed a dent on the back of one so got on the phone to complain and was instantly offered a £50 refund which iv spent on 3 of the modular tool sets on the 3 for the price of 2 deal. Happy days.I'm happy to recommend the chests and Halfords customer service.

New kit gives me flashbacks to Christmas Day as a kid, the feelings the same just the toys have changed.That looks like a good set, ideal to take on a rideout.Quote:

Can't go wrong at that price can you. If you have the 200 piece advance socket set and take the hinge pins out on the case the two bits of the case fit in the bottem chest draws perfectly.Quote:

Having my arm all strapped up and not being able to play with my new tools/toys is doing my head in, it's only been 9 days out of the 8 weeks healing time and I'm already having twitchy withdrawal symptoms from not riding, my mrs came out to the garage last night and found me just sitting on the triumph and called me a sad git. :(Quote:
