Boxo tools

Good job all I've bought is some sockets then ...........

I looked carefully at these when I was at the classic car show NEC earlier in the year. Spent over an hour at the stand looking at the range on display.
Very shiny but no demo of strength. I asked about this cos I can abuse tools when needed. Nothing available.
Ratchets felt notchy and like they wouldn’t stand the test of time. By comparison, I have a SnapOn long 1/2” drive one which is way smoother. That has 7 ratchet arms compared to 3 in the Boxo.
As for screwdrivers, I wouldn’t swap my Wera ones for Boxo, no comparison.
Overall I would say they are probably on a par with Halfords Pro but a lot more money.
Toolboxes were not cheap but nowhere near SnapOn prices, the quality felt more like Sealey. Ok but not smooth running drawers really.
I was impressed enough to leave well alone.

Son has given his Boxo sockets and ratchet some serious abuse over the last five years, the only thing that’s broken was a torx bit. I did that !

If this is anything to go by:

BOXO 23Pc Terminal Release Tool Set

Description: Designed specifically for removing plug type connectors Quickly repair faults and corrosion Universal application Supplied in Power Case B

www.boxo.co.uk

They are just re-badged tools, I bought this set for £29 maybe the foam is worth £200

Having looked a few of the bits on there scream neilsen

They "scream" Neilsen to me to!

They are, but surprisingly they are actually pretty decent.

But definitely £20 not £200

You sound as heavy handed as me

The main point is that tools will break with use (and abuse) so it’s about the warranty for me. Unless they are cheap enough to be throwaway then I have to be able to use the guarantee. That means a van or a local store really. Postage is not something I want to get into, and Boxo do seem to be postage only and not impressive enough to take the risk. They aren’t exactly cheap.

I was taking the cover of e air filter housing on his golf when it broke. Wasn’t giving it the onions. He bought them off the tool van and the guy sorted out my mistake

I have Neilson tools and like them too.

But these below I really like for stripping multiplugs - my absolute favorite!
