    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.
    I only have one vice…I lie.

    That's what's attracting me. The advanced tools in my opinion are every bit as good as snap on and the life time guarantee backs that up, I'm hoping the tool chest is the same. 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

    Homebase have got a really decent selection in at the moment, plus you can have a proper look at them as they're set up. Machine mart are pretty good as well

    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.
