garymorris Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) I know a few people on here like the halfords Industrial range of toolboxes/chests , it looks like they're being replaced by the 'advanced' range , I looked at one of these(advanced) in store yesterday and imho they look carp and have friction draw locking The industrial range is still on there website but I can't find a branch to click & collect and they're not available for delivery , does anybody know if these are manufactured for anybody as well as halfords and badged up different ?

landroversforever Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Which ones are you meaning? Are the black Halfords Industrial ones not available any more then? They're what I have and are fantastic. The draw handles lift up to release the draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landroversforever Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Well there doesn't seem to be any of the bottom chests available any more . I've got two of the bottom ones stacked up and was planning on adding another pair. Had to settle for ordering a couple of the top chests and a couple of the middle draws too.

ianmayco68 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I've got a set of these and was planning on getting another bottom chest they were very good quality , haven't seen anything near as good for the money or costing much more . Just had a look and a bottom came up at Kirkstall it's 72 miles from Stafford if that's any good to either of you , haven't got a clue were it is .

Cynic-al Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) I've never bought one but these seem good value. I bought an engine hoist off them which seems good but I assume most things are just bought and sold so it's hard to know. They're in derby, if it's near maybe it's possible to go look? https://www.sgs-engineering.com/garage-equipment/tool-chests-cabinets £100 for a cabinet and top box with roller bearing drawers and draw liners delivered with a 10 year warranty sounds too good to be true! https://www.sgs-engineering.com/garage-equipment/tool-chests-cabinets/chest-cabinet/stc1000-mechanics-8-drawer-tool-box-chest-cabinet Edited July 10, 2018 by Cynic-al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landroversforever Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Worth giving Didcot Halfords a ring, I’m sure they had a full set of the old type the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
