What toolbox? £300 budget for a home mechanic

Halford Professional tools are very good. I have a large set which I use on my motorbike and car, and it serves me very well. I've bought some pliers (of all shapes including waterpump pliers) and a torque wrench for axle bolts, caliper bolts etc. Sometimes halfords to a sale on their tools, that's when I got my tool kit and it was significantly cheaper
Yeah a lot of my tools are Halfords Pro... the tools are very good but the plastic boxes are poop. Robb F said:
The Halfords industrial tool box with roller bearings is surprisingly good quality, the same goes for their tools. It would be hard to find better for the money I think.

Looks great. Long lating, I want this thing to last a lifetime afterall.http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/...
I wonder if they'll give me discount on the old trade card...
Anyone out there had a Sealey box? My mate has one and they come with tools too.
What the hell have I just stumbled upon on eBay.
So, I spotted this and thought it was cheap..

Oh, no tools. That's odd. Well what else have you got for sale?

All the tools! Individually!

Way outside your budget, but I have this one
Realise that posting something twice your budget looks like a p1ss take: I only mention it because (1) it's massive and will stop you getting annoyed when you run out of tool space and have to buy another (2) it's very good quality - had mine for 10 years, it's like new (apart from stickers!) (3) it's very easy to move around the garage.
Others available
There are some real nice boxes on there... Payday was kind but I've already been spending it on powdercoating wheels and buying another set of Sunflowers for the E36. I'll see how much space I have after gutting the garage at the weekend Realise that posting something twice your budget looks like a p1ss take: I only mention it because (1) it's massive and will stop you getting annoyed when you run out of tool space and have to buy another (2) it's very good quality - had mine for 10 years, it's like new (apart from stickers!)

Haven't bought anything yet, but after seeing the Clarke HD 9 drawer top boxes at the weekend I think that's what I'll go for. I can't see myself needing anything else for a bit!
Halfords had posted these up at the weekend, so I went to have a look.

I have to say the quality of them felt shocking compared to the Clarke HD. They had locked the Industrial ones oddly so I couldn't test them.
