Well it wasn't cheap, no. PM me if you want, it could well be for sale in the new year as I start a new job that isn't in the trade.

Some lovely tool porn here guys!

Main cab, tool roll that I usually carry in the car on the bench. Couple of smaller toolboxes under the bench off to the right, and the traditional blue metal one on the left!:



Socket sets on bottom shelf, chest of drawers with bigger tools in (can see torque wrenches/breaker bar in the bottom drawer:



Bit of a mess at the moment, but when the bench is cleared and I've got rid of the empty cardboard boxes it's not a bad workspace

Found it - £1800 but also needs an air compressor so about £2k all in - too late for the Chrstmas pressie list though!
I bought one this year - Clifton model, with revised lockable extensions. Excellent piece of kit - I trust it, which means a lot. Does stand a little too proud though for my cars so have to use blocks to get the cars on and off.

How about this little baby, limited edition snap on chess set made from sockets and extensions in snap on mini tool box

Thanks to my traders in NY managed to get it sent to them and forwarded on to me and now pride of place in my snap on friends collection and much favours given in return !

I really have a hankering for a 53" Snap On or Mac box, but then I would feel the need to fill it with Snap On and Mac tools so I will just keep the bits and pieces boxes I have

This is my mixed bag of Snap On, Mac and Costco boxes








As for lifting the vehicles I decided on a 4 post ramp which also allows me to store an extra car in the garage
