Tool chest wanted, snap-on, halfords industrial/pro......

[ROB_GTR]

Looking at getting a tool chest / cabinet in the near future, It will be used pretty lightly.

Are the snap-on ones worth the 400% hike on others of similar design, looks etc?

The halfords pro / industrial ones look pretty good and you get the top chest free when you buy the cabinet so total cost is £350 for the industrial or £250 for the pro and both look alright TBH.

I would take a second hand one if it was in good condition and a reasonable price.

A friend of mine has a snap-on limited edition jobbie and he is currently selling it for £3000!!!!!! Apparently it was £6000 new and only has slight cosmetic damage

Cheers everyone. The Clarke hd seems pretty good too!

I have the space for the boards but I'm not keen really, I like a tool chest & cab to store them in really.

So I reckon it's between the Clarke and halfrauds ones so far

That Costco one looks pretty good, however, I'm not a member of Costco and there isn't one near me.

Robm3, which do you have to look at? I'm a long way from you but it would be worth a drive out if its what I'm after.....

What do you think to this current offer?

Some popping up on eBay at the mo but all seem to fetch more than expected.

I do like the idea of seeing your tools and have them in their own designated place but for some reason a tool board to me looks untidy and reminds me of something I botched together at work to hang tools and make it obvious when some had not been returned.

Tool cabinet etc would suit my needs much better and fit in with my work bench but without my tools taking over the garage.
