Got my new tool box yesterday, i had a halfords professional box before that i had for over 6 years which i bought cheaply as it only holds tools but now i've spent thousands on the tools inside it i thought it was time to upgrade from my old box as i had run out of room in it anyway and i wanted to get a decent box so i bought a £1600 mac tool box, spent most of today loading her up with all my tools and i've dirtyed her allready lol

I was looking at huge tool sets recently even know I never have to use them I still want a huge set :homme:

i got snap on to price me up a equivilent box and they wanted £2200, i think for an empty box £1600 is expensive let alone £2200
yep it has amazed me at the prices of empty boxes

Professional tools and toolboxes are expensive mate, take my snap on 9 peice screw driver set it was £179, they come with a lifetime guarentee and are made to the highest of standards and as i use my tools everyday i want to have the best. most mechanics spend £6000 to £10,000 on tools, i've spent around 7k or something so far

My mate spent 2600 on a snap-on one, and then a further 800 on extra boxes that fit with it. Its an absolute beast

Don't want to know you know, I'm jealous :n:.
All I've got is a hand held one a got a College paid £20 for it and that included tools, but I've added over the years including a 30 peice Allen Key set, 15 in metric and 15 in imperial.
And a 22 peice screwdriver set.
