Hi,
Think that's the same one as I 1st suggested.
Certainly looks like it
I'm not paying more than a ton, for a tool box for the house, different if it was for the shed or garage but it's just to save me going out into the cold & dark for a 12mm socket or something similar & 85 quid sounds not bad & it looks more than big enough.
Cheers,
GAZ |

That would be my choice over halfrauds,
Although in your shoes I may be tempted to wait and get this instead, they often have vat free offers, whole different league, and could add a top bit later, with the cheaper ones (I had the £85 quid one in the past) no rubber matts, fiddly locking system, and made out of tinfoil, the drawers were so stiff to open you would pull the cabinet out instead, as castors are plastic and don't lock, so they slide on a kitchen floor, we had ours in the utility room.
This one below could be added that later, or taken into garage if you decide it's not for the kitchen, it's a whole lot better made too on a
https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/ctc500-tool-cabinet
I waited on a Vat free day and ordered this below with it's tobox, it's fantastic, beautiful sliding drawers and holds a huge amount of stuff, the Clarke stuff is superb, if you are in Stirling jump up to Dundee and visit their store, they have loads on display The HD stuff is worth the extra imho

Hi,
That 1st one looks a good bet.....
The halfrauds one I can get free delivery & fit a set of lockackable castors for a fiver (Lidl or Aldi are doing them).
Its only to stick in a corner to keep all those wee tools you need BUT don't want to go outside for so it's not like it's gonna see heavy daily use.
Its mainly to get stuff out of 3 or 4 wee plastic boxes & all together, tidy, in the same place.
I DO fancy the Clarke one as they do VAT free days periodically but I'm in a hurry (& its actually a xmas prezzie) so it'll probably be the tin foil halfrauds one as I can order now & get free next day delivery.
Cheers,
GAZ |

|

Hi all,
After spending about an hour on the halfrauds website trying to order the 85 quid tool box, every time I got to checkout, it kept trying to charge me £99.99 for delivery!
Even though it clearly states it's available for free delivery as it's over 40 quid.
Anyway after speaking to "chloe" the 3rd person btw (the other 2 mysteriously got cut off when I asked them awkward questions).
1st she told me it was because I was in the Scottish highlands and islands ..erm no I'm not.
I live in a FK postcode, which stands for Falkirk, 20mins from Glasgow which to my knowledge is in Central Scotland.
Then she said it was a "computer glitch " & the delivery charge should only be 40 quid!
WTF? Why?
Cos it needs 2 men to off load it from the van seemingly
No amount of arguing with "chloe" would reduce this delivery charge, so I went in a huff & called them a bunch of liars & accused them of false advertising & i would be posting it all over the internet how they penalise those who don't have access to a car.
How the f*ck you meant to get get a big tool chest on the back of a tdr125?
I'm sure I could but guaranteed to get pulled by the traffic Nazis who sit at the end of the road most days.
Not giving up, i went on ebay, ordered it from the halfrauds page with FREE delivery & got it down to £76.50 as i had a 10% discount code
Pity I didn't order it the day before as I had a 15% discount code
Still, Halfrauds 0 - GAZ 1
So get it up you chloe & your silly terms & conditions, which I couldn't find anywhere btw.
Anyway, rant over.
New tool box coming in a couple of days (& the 2 van guys can carry it in themselves)
cheers,
GAZ |

Hi,
Halfrauds tool chest arrived today (a day early, just as well someone was in ae?)
So much for 2 man delivery. Bolllocks! 1 polish guy, smaller than me & I'm not exactly Mr universe.
Worth the 70 odd quid I reckon.
Wouldn't stand up to heavy use outside but it's perfect for in the house.
I'm happy anyway
cheers,
GAZ |
