Ebay/gumtree/shock tool chests with tools...any good?

[rupak-1kusd]

Hi Guys,

Seen a lot of the following branded tool chests on eBay, gumtree & shpock etc

Munich tool
Swiss Kraft
Kraft Muller
Widmann
IF tools

Wondering if anyone on here has bought them??... if they're any good, decent enough to give to someone as a present or if embarrassingly poor quality.

They come with eva style foam trays and various tools.. obviously made in China. Lol

I bought a "US Pro" chest off ebay and am very happy with it. However you can tell by the difference in price with and without tools that the tools they bundle with them aren't going to be great.

You can make good money by importing a container full of these and selling them on.

Look at the prices on alibaba for tool chests and see how cheap they get if you buy 20, or 30 or 50 of them.

That bubble has popped now given the virus closing factories but I'm sure it will be inflating again at some point.

Yeah you were right

They might be ok for a weekend warrior I guess.

You get what you pay for, I personally wouldn’t touch any of that cheapo Chinese crap with a bargepole. Better off spending the money on either Halfords sets with a lifetime warranty or buying up older brand name stuff off ebay. I’ve got some Britool ratchets that date from the 60’s that will likely outlast any of the budget stuff in those kits.
