I'm in the process of refitting my garage and I need something to store hand-tools in so I'm after a decent sized tool chest. Does anyone have any experience of this:

It seems to be pretty good value and it feels solid enough in the shop. Any other suggestions of better products and similar (or lower) prices? Something a bit wider would be even better (the gap it will go in is just over 130cm wide).

I might be missing something but the US pro ones that size seem to be nearly 700 quid?

The 54" US pro ones look quite tempting, though. smile

Bought the one you are looking at a few weeks ago.

Do it, its a great piece of kit.

Really sturdy built. The drawers can take a lot of weight, I have all my air tools in the bottom drawer, and above that all my bodywork hammers and blocks. Neither drawer struggles at all with the weight.

Hmm, I'm not sure whether the extra drawers of the US Pro one would be more or less useful than the deeper drawers of the Costco one.

Does anyone know anything about this one:

Which is also a Costco item I think, despite being on Ebay.

Anyone heard of "Maxsteel" as a brand?
