Just got the new Demon Tweeks Catalogue…fatal as I now fancy a new tool chest, nothing too fancy!
DT are selling a Sealey AP2200 Combo tool box with tools…was�500.75, now �159.95!
Checked on Google and that looks a good price!
Does anyone have any advice on any others to consider!
ebay is a good place to look
Got a link to check it out?

or just type toolchest or toolbox in the search bar and it comes back with loads, varying in size and price

Ok thanks. I’ve got a shortlist of 2 now…Sealey or Draper, which are the best manufacturer?
was actually looking for a link to the actual kit Bertone is talking about - wanted to see what range of tools you get.

I have to say that I don’t think either of them are premium grade manufacturers. Both make tools to a price.
I may be a bit of a tool snob, but having used snap on - mostly not mine , I know the value of using tools that really do do the job.
Tools are a real investment and when looked after should not just last you a lifetime, but could be passed to the next generation. Don’t buy cheap…generally speaking you get what you pay for. Ebay always has second hand snap on items up for auction and you can, from time to time, get some great buys.
How about this one Steve…www.tool-catalogue.co.uk click onto special offers and its the Draper combo 78444 for �280ish, was �700!
If only I could stretch to Snap-On!

Don’t want to put a downer on what should be an enjoyable purchase, but, that kit is never worth �700 - could probably get it down the market stall for less.
The roller cabinet and tool boxes might be good value…

But you can…that’s my point. Tools should be aquired over a lifetime. Start with the few you really need and buy additions as and when you can afford to.
When people ask you what you want for your b’day or Xmas quote the part no of a snap on tool and give them the link to the website!
Don’t forget that a poor tool can actually damage things as well as making it harder and taking longer to do!
Snap On tools are one of those iconic things that actually live up to all the hype. Lifetime guarantee means just that!
Agreed Steve, we are forever breaking 1/2 inch breaker bars and get them fixed foc … hence why we went for Snap On …
Personally I wouldn’t spend too much on the chest. I’ve had some from Machine Mart for a few years now and they still look very new. I’ve got the following:-
Top Chest
Step Up
Bottom Chest
And then buy decent tools, mine are mostly from Facom as opposed to Snap-On.

how do you do that - swing on the end of scaffolding bars?

Definitely right there, doesnt exactly take alot of abuse in a domestic situation and doesnt help fix the car!

Got one from them also, but it doesnt have ball bearing runners

Now they are a serious tool maker
Im with the Snap On boys here. They are very good quality and you only have to buy them once. Plus on EBay, Snap on stuff normally goes for between 75 - 90% on the new price, so you don’t loose much money on it if you decide to sell up.
Well, er cough …scaffolding poles have been known to be seen in our workshop …
Our local Costco has a REALLY nice stainless steel toolchest.
