    Im thinking of replacing my 2 cheap tool chests for something of a bit better quality and bigger.
    as im not a full time mechanic I don't see the point in spending out on a snap on chest but want something of a decent quality.

    Whilst looking I have came across this us pro tool chest. it seems a decent size to keep al my tools in, has any body got one ?
    27 RED US Pro Tool Chest Box 30 drawers! side cabinet | eBay

    Do you have any more recommendations?

    Thank god for that. I was 'umming and 'ahhing over buying it. It looked like good quality in the shop but I looked at so many. I wasn't really expecting it to be the size it was when the fella came wheeling it out on the trolley to put it in the car :D

    I have a two piece ProTool roll top cab. I've had it nearly 20 years. The thing is virtually indestructible and has outlasted a Snap-On cab which was bought a few years earlier but flogged because the sliders on one side started to become a pita.
    Only problem I've had with the ProTool is that the bottom drawer has started to rust on the front....not structural, just looks tatty.

    I ordered one of these today for our apprentice to collect from our local store, as i clicked on add to basket & reserve it automatically came up with a 10% promo offer on top of the original discounted offer which brought the total to £269.99 so i phoned the local store just to confirm, which they agreed the price was correct.

    Absolute steal @ £269.99 for both

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but hoping you can return it and start again. Look below that link, Dave v just bought it as a bundle pack. Get the top and bottom unit for £300!! Now that is cheap....
