I have the Clarke Contractor cabinet and chest, the yella one. It was just under 400 quid when I bought it and looks even better value now. The only issue I have is that I should have bought a bigger one because it appears to have been filled up already. It's used pretty much every day at work. I had a look at one of the tractor dealer fitters 1200 quid Snaaaap Orrrrrn box in his van during the summer and couldn't see what his 800 quid extra bought him aside from a nice, air brushed picture of an S1000RR on the draws.

I've got a Clarke's step-up box. IMO it isn't a patch on the Halfords stuff, unlike Clarke's ratchets which I think are as good as the Snap-On ones.

There are a few grades of Clarke boxes, I dont think the do HDPlus or Contractor step up boxes, they are all cheaper ones. We rent a unit to a fabricator and his man has the industrial Halfords box bundle. I've had a look at both and there's not much to choose between them and my Clarke Contractor. 6 and two 3's.

Have tentatively reserved the pro top box and roller chest at Halfords. Just dawned on me how much bigger it is than my current box... thought it was bought on the basis that I'd be able to take the top box with me if required and in five years that's never been necessary so can't see it changing now!

Just to update this, picked up the Halfords professional 7 drawer top box and 5 drawer roller cabinet last night - now all assembled (basically screw on the handle and bolt on the castors) and very impressed with it. It's about twice this size of my old box, but not ridiculous and seems very well put together. Total cost was £180.00 using my Trade Card so overall, very pleased. Thanks to all how contributed, very much appreciated gents.
