I've had one for a while - one of the LEDs in the strip has failed, not that you'd notice the rest are so bright.
The proximity turn on/off/moe switch is irritating if you accidently turn it on . . . lean in to see something . . . swiches off . . . lean back to see whats up with it . . . switches on . . .

Really is. I was so upset. I really looked after it. I managed to make the new one nice by swapping bits around thankfully. Not quite the same as your first toolbox haha. Was sentimentalHorrible feeling isn’t itMine fell through a pallet. Worked like the worlds biggest slide hammer. Not a straight drawer on it
More ****** off about a snap on box getting destroyed than anything else that’s happened in a long time!
The top box especially was pretty well broken to be fair. I am going to scrap it. I managed to raid bits to fix the other two. They only have a couple dents thankfully now.

Too late now but this is why i always have the heavy stuff in the bottom draws and set my boxes up so they are biased leaning back by a few degrees by packers under front castors

That’s a good idea but It should all be good now to be fair. There’s no way it can lean now.Too late now but this is why i always have the heavy stuff in the bottom draws and set my boxes up so they are biased leaning back by a few degrees by packers under front castors

Not one, but two wins with the easy outs. British BSF bolt grabbed easily, chinese m8 deformed and I was worried I was going to fail, but eventually it came.

This monster gearbox jack. 1100lbs lift, ex-workshop. It’s $1100 new, scored it for $200! Way too big for me, this is going to my mates garage to stop this nonsense happening!

A few books by The Spike.
A free gift.
Goes well with this one I got weeks ago.
Nut crackers.
Identified as WW1 trench art.
Untill I pointed out the date of 1966 on them.
A gold thing with Lizzy 2 on it.
This item is empty.
Shame.
Finally, yay.

I'm on a similar hunt, but without as much luck as you. I did score a couple of nice ones (relatively) from an autojumble in a box of general hammers, 50p each, which is my kind of price point.

Ooh, there's a couple of spikes that I didn't know about! I thought I'd read all of them years ago!
