Part1cle Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Just bought a tool chest and cabinet from B&Q for £75.00 - not Snap-On quality, but not bad for the money. Has bb draw runners, seems reasonably well made and if you are limited for space it's not too big. Downside is its matt black finish. Made by Torq. If you want something thats cheap and cheerful, and much better quality than the base range Halfords offering, it might be worth a look. They have lots of offers on 18V battery drills too.

Halfords had 1/3 off all their tools cabinet recently, all with bb runners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&S Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I spotted the B&Q offer, thought the top chest was a good price at £25 also I still might get one to fix in the Landy. Quality looked pretty good as you say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Part1cle Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 Halfords had 1/3 off all their tools cabinet recently, all with bb runners. Still a fair bit more than 75squid though - I checked the local halfords as it's next door (but didn't think so check the trade card price). The Halfords with BB runners is quite a lot bigger though, and while I have a good sized garage I don't need to keep loads of hand tools I don't use regularly readily availabe.

Quality looked pretty good as you say. MS, is it the tool chest from the set that's £75? If it is, it looks good value. I can't find just the chest on the B&Q website however.

M&S Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 B&Q website doesn't work on my computer, never does for some reason, but I saw them in store, next to the cabinets and they looked like a set to me. They didn't have any in today though, sold out I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modchop Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 linky or search for Torq Tool Chest Cheers Zardos, I found the set on the website, I was wondering if the top chest was available on it's own. Will try and pop into B&Q tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UdderlyOffroad Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Modchop, I bought a halfords top chest only a while ago which was great, at last somewhere to store my thules locked up safe from tea-leaf housemates! But, it got F-heavy and I struggled to move the thing - eventually I gave up and bought the bottom unit too...wish I'd done that from the start. If you can afford the space I suggest get the combo, your back will thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
