your going to struggle to get a good box and tools for £100.
in fact there might be a set, not box though, in halfords still on offer at £100 instead of £149.99. don't know how long it will run for, but it happens ever xmas, so might still be on sale if you hurry. :y:

i got a minter halfords pro tool chest on wheels, has class handles and roller bearings for the drawers.
the drawers have foam padding in them as well ;)
its a nice powder coated black, cost a wee bit more than 100 quid, but well worth it ;)
you get what you pay for when it comes to tools matey

i used to have a snap on tool chest at my old factory. not as big as that, but had an airbrushed pic on it ;)
some contractors emptied it when my back to back on nights left it open lmbo
halfords stuff gets me by ;) still got a few snap on spaners, sockets, hex heads etc

for a tool box i bought a halfords one as i could not justyfy paying £2000 for a snap on one when all it does it holds tools, most of my tools are snap on tho because being a mechanic and using my tools every day i needed quality and guarented, i did count my receipts for my tools was at around the £4,500mark last time i counted, its currently in my spare room till i finish building my new workshop. will probably upgrade it to a snap on or mac box soon tho as run out of space in it

this one was a bargain at £3k and yes it does only hold tools but it holds £20k worth of tools

i keep wanting to do a service myself but havent got any tools
Hanuman
29th January 2008, 15:14
buy the tools you need for a service, i went out and bought everything for oil changes bought...
2 tonne trolley jack
2 tone axel stands
36mm socket
all for £26 your laughing. also bought 6litres of oil worth around £30+ for £8.99
oil change on my car costs around £50 and thats with crap oil they use so for the tools i got it worked out cheaper for tools and oil (quite good oil aswell) deffo worth investing in the tools you need, dont go buy tools you dont need though just for the same of it.. price soon adds up.
