Halfords Advanced 200 piece socket set - tool tray / chest
Discussion
Hi all,
I see that the Halfords 200 piece socket generally gets positive reviews on here and is currently £200. I'm looking to get my son started with his first toolkit as a present to go with the old BMW tourer I have for his first car, something he will hopefully keep for years as he is quite technically minded.
I think the blown plastic case looks like a bit of a nightmare so wondering about getting a 3 draw chest and moving the parts over to foam inserts or 3d printed trays. It is likely he will want to put the chest in the boot to take with him to work on cars with his mates. Just wondering what anyone else has found as the best route?
I am also still pondering if the Halfords is the best idea versus some Sealey modular trays that seem very nicely organised compared to the Halfords case.
Any thoughts very welcome! Thanks
