May be useful to someone.

6 drawer top box for £50! http://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/storage/tool-chests-cabinets/halfords-6-drawer-tool-chest

and 7drawer trolley for £100. http://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/storage/tool-chests-cabinets/halfords-7-drawer-cabinet

Those ones are really cheap and nasty, no bearings in the slides and really thin sheet metal.

I've got one of these and it's really well built for the money:

Nice one Matt, it's also twice the price though. Just thought someone may want a cheap top box and £50 is cheap.

 

[MattH]

Honestly they're not worth even that. I had a pair exactly the same that I bought of a mate for £50 and I've never used them.

 

[Exuptoy]

Ah well, cheers for the heads up, I'm sure someone will appreciate it. Nowt like experience.

I looked at them a while ago and they did seem very flimsy so bought the professional combo instead.

They look similar to some of the budget us pro tools boxes on eBay with the bars on the front for locking, but i noticed in the specs the draw slides are listed as friction, the eBay ones are at least bearings.

I've looked at the cheap and the best quality that Halfords sell and TBH it was a no brainer buying Britool instead for me. Obviously, as some have said, it will be OK for them just depends how good you want the thing.

I purchased a cheap Chinese one 8 years ago and it's been abused and abused but it still works. I would not say works fine but it holds lots of tools (way too many) I need anothe4 one now to relegate the old one to a static rarely used tools storage cabinet.

I looked at the cheap halfords ones but they don't even seem as good as my Chinese Neilsen model.

I have the red Halfords top, middle and bottom roll cab, the ones with ball bearings and drawer liners

The top and bottom were on offer years ago and they have been used, abused, taken apart, moved around, thrown in a van and stood on. They all work perfectly, despite a few battle scars
