HoSS Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Has anyone got these? And could recommend? I'm seriously tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wettstuff Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Couldn't resist this, been looking at tool chests on ebay for a while now, but nothing comes close to the price of this, bottom roller cabinets were looking to be about the same price, probably should have gone to look at one first but a few mates have halfords chests and they're happy with them. Going to pick it up in the morning will post pics and first thoughts tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 That is a good deal. I have the same top two units, and the bottom cabinet with 2 drawers and a hatch. All good sturdy kit - mine is overloaded beyond belief and still standing. Not sure I'd pay £250 for the roller cabinet on its own though ...

landroversforever Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I have two of the Halfords industrial (black ones) bottom chests and they are superb. Nearly outgrowing them so might buy a third one or a top one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I don't understand the "bundle offer". What is in the bundle? Or am I sobering up? G. Sorry, got it! You get two or three together - it wasn't displaying properly! G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I have had the 5 drawer bottom chest and 7 drawer top box now for about 5 years now. cant fault them apart from the fact i have outgrown them and they dont do a wider version and the little rubber catches have worn out on the most frequently used drawers. other than that theyre still top notch!

HoSS Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 good, i've reserved a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wettstuff Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Well as promised picked up my tool chest combo today, first impresions are good, well packaged, good qaulity finish and the drawers are smooooth. As it comes First job rip open the biggest box and stick the coasters on Then repeat as neccesary with the other two boxes and stick it all on top of each other Didn't have much time to play with it as got wind the misses was on her way back, best not get caught at the moment i thinks Did manage to put a couple of trays in though Hopefully going to get out tomorrow and star filling up it up Very happy with it so far, only issue i can see is that there are 3 different keys, having said that it will probably never be locked Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landowner Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Had mine about a month or so, great to have the space at last and they are ok. Only complaint is that the top box is always overflowing so I cant shut the lid and had to leave the middle box out cause I cant reach, I've put it separate with electrical stuff in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wettstuff Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hi Mikey, i had thought of thatbut to be honest i really doubt i shall ever lock it, it was just more of a gripe as if i was selling them as a combination i'd give the option for matching locks, only nit picking though because everything else is spot on Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 lost my keys a while ago, its a shame really as when dad borrows them to botch his tractors up he never puts them back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Do the chests come with those plastic inserts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 no, halfords sell those plastic inserts with the tools in seperate, unless they have expanded their range they only do the 1/2" drive socket set, 3/8" - 1/4" drive socket set and a metric spanner set (with pipe flare spanners) pretty in comprehensive kits there arent any spanners or sockets "missing" the only extra spanners i bought were obviously an AF set a metric stubby set, and metric ratchet spanners which halfords also do. the only sockets i have bought extra are E (Female torx) bits and a set of hex key sockets. I dont have the 1/2" drive set by halfords, mine is the old (when it used to be decent quality) draper expert. but i honestly cant fault the halfords tools at all yet! i want to buy the !/2" set because it keeps everyrthing so organised and you can clearly tell whats missing after a job sorry, probably preaching to the converted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Halfords Professional tools seem very good - I have their 1/4 and 1/2" sockets, plus their metric spanners. My only issue with their sockets is that they only make double-hex sockets on the 1/2" stuff, which leads to a lot of rounded heads on seized bolts. They need to make single hex too.

Retroanaconda Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Halfords Professional tools seem very good - I have their 1/4 and 1/2" sockets, plus their metric spanners. My only issue with their sockets is that they only make double-hex sockets on the 1/2" stuff, which leads to a lot of rounded heads on seized bolts. They need to make single hex too. My Halfords set has a range of 1/2" drive deep sockets which are single-hex, as well as some impact sockets which are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hmm, mine are only single hex on the 10,11 and 12mm sockets - the rest are all double. I'd prefer them all to be single, with the option of buying individual double hex sockets for things like calliper bolts. My Draper imperial set is all double hex, except the small ones, too.

dirtyninety Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I believe you can buy the same tool chests, but clearly without the halfords stickers on, from spaldings... https://agricultural.spaldings.co.uk/Shop/Tool-Storage-86.aspx The price depends on how good at bartering you are! Its definitely cheaper than halfords tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibernot Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 The Halfords professional tools ain't that bad, I rarely have any problems with them.... When I do break the they exchange then under guarantee anyway so all is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 that looks a slightly different set to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
