I would really like a tool chest. There is a mirror finished stainless steel one in my local Costco....but it £500!!!
Anyway, I was looking in Halfords at theirs, and they seem "cheap" compared to the holy grail one in Costco. But I have found some cheap alternatives: RAC ones at Argos: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...text%3ERAC.htm Some other brands at Machine Mart: http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/ca...abinets/page/1 Has anyone any experience of these, or can anyone recommend a brand that is both excellent and cheap? |

The Clarke ones from Machine mart are good value for money if you go for the HD plus range. Avoid the ctc600 ctc900 there is insufficient hinge on the lid.
if the costco one scares you at £500, start looking at Snap On and professional Mac ones etc.

The problem with Argos is that you probably have to buy it, before you can look at it. |

halfords professional do some good ones. You're still looking at about £400 ish (roll cab and top box), but they're great for that kind of money.
snap on tool chests are about £1500 for a very basic model. was looking for one myself for work, but might possibly go for the halfords one. (black one looks quite nice) |
