Bout half the price too. Though Halfords have a sale on theirs just now I think, the big roller cab isn't in it- just the step up and the friction drawer ones

Yea, i got my "top box" in the clearance.

The halfords and the halfords pro ones are a lot different!

Same as some of the cheaper ones in machine mart compared to the more expensive ones.

You gets what you pays for...to some extent with these.

Yep, if you get a stainless one with rollers it should last the rest of your life, if you get a mild steel painted one with friction drawers it'll last a couple of years. Depends on the sort of usage you give your stuff of course. You see the higher end Clarke stuff in a lot of pro workshops and garages, which is always a good sign.
