Been looking at buying the halfords box for work so i can bring my snapon one home, just got the roll cart for £120 so gonna see how that goes least i dont need to use my snapon box as much when im wheeling the cart around.. cant wait to bring my corvette 50th snapon box home
I would love a snapon box but as a hobby DIY tool user the 56" sgs box I now have is plenty good enough for home. Maybe 1 day if I get a proper workshop I might treat myself to 1 lol👍
@@TheYorkshireMix snapons mainly a hobby for me i buy tools and leave them in the box haha, ive got 4 snapon boxes now traded in my gulf racing box for the lancia delta 40” to have at home, i also have the ford rs ‘retro annual meet’ box and locker at home i just couldnt resist them both haha, ive had the corvete 50th since i was 5 my dad bought it for me 20 years ago and its sadly being used at work just now and im feart to ruin it! So once i get a halfords box i can take that home along with my green locker as i have a green box set up which i bkugjt when i started as a plant mechanic which my dads now using, bringing it all hone will be a big pain as we aint got the space yet lol I get the snapon bug from my dad who had a massive collection but a lot was lost to fires and the rest stolen years ago so started pver again
@@Kieran_OPC it's not a bad hobby to have collecting tools. It does get very addictive. I must admit I do keep looking at snapon tools but I can't justify the price at the moment. I'm happy with my Halfords tools for now but I might upgrade in a few years👍
I’ve had the box since is first come out , the locks are trashed on the top box due to Draws not even locking , you cannot even fit the split 200 piece set in the top , wouldn’t recommend this box at all , for the price you can definitely find something on SGS which is twice the size of this box for the same price
I didn't think it was too bad for the money but it was too small for my needs so I upgraded to a 56inch sgs box 👍 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xpR1o57azkI.html
@@TheYorkshireMix I only just found you’re channel lol , I have subbed , the problem I had with the box was that the top box was just not good enough in my opinion, draws not lock and you can open the top with a screw driver if you wanted to , as a professional mechanic using the box for the last year it’s terrible for every day usage , I’m 18 and so I think I’ll be moving on to SGS soon my friend
@@lgbk5957 cheers pal I appreciate the sub. I do agree. The top box didn't seem to be as good a quality as the bottom box. I did have some problems with the drawers not closingproperly. I can't fault the sgs box though👍
Appreciate you’ve sold the box now, but watching the video it looks like the modular sets are still in their boxes which may explain the fouling when trying to close the drawer? The later modular are foam
Was looking into the bottom chest as would like to remove wheels and bolt to the 18mm plywood floor in my little van, my only concern is, will the draws open, when locked, with all the g-forces going on, when driven.
Unless you plan on sending it round a racetrack on 2 wheels i think you will be fine mate 😂 they might occasionally open if you don't lock them and have heavy tools in the drawers when driving like a mad man but I think that would take some doing. The locks will definitely hold them closed though as I think it would take a very large amount of force to pull 1 open if its locked. Hooe this helps 👍
Looking for a box for my Ford Focus to have in my boot would th bottom one with the wheels on fit? Would prop it up on something for the bottom drawers
What time of year did you buy these, you seem to have saved loads on the regular price. I fancy buying both of these but I'd be over £150 more than you paid right now.
@@TheYorkshireMix I'm a home DIY'r mostly but have my tools strewn over 4 or 5 different boxes and totes, would you say the Halfords Advanced stuff would suit me or would you not recommend them ?
@@buggbairn im also a home DIY'r and I cant fault the Halfords advanced tool. I only sold the box as I needed something bigger as both tool boxes I had were overflowing. The new box takes up the same space as both my old boxes but I now have loads more room to fit more tool in lol. For the price and the lifetime guarantee on the Halfords advanced hand tools I don't think you can beat them although I do think us pro tools are just as good but im not sure what guarantee you get with those 👍
Theyre always on sale every year, i just got the tool cart yesterday to use instead pf abusing my precious snapon box lol cant wait to buy one of these as a cheap abusable toolbox for work instead of havingmy snapon one get damaged which is bound to happen.. need to get it back home soon
I have that box and the top i have replaced twice when my other one comes tomorrow so that will be my 3rd top box due to soft close not working and my bottom draw keeps poping out when i lock it up. This box is not worth the money in my eyes that is why i call halfords shitfords because all there stuff is shite and low quality for the price so i get stuff from mac tools because they are quality stuff but i only buy halfords tools if i will not be using it all the time at work or for home use
Yeah if I was using them all the time as my job then I wouldn't have gone for them but as a hobby tool I Don't think you can get better for the price. The Halfords box and all the tools is cheaper than a small high quality toolbox like mac or snapon and it still comes with the lifetime warranty 👍
Ye fair play to what you say and if i had the money i would get a better box but i am still young and learning my job so ny box will do for now also i think stuff in the adavance tools are crap like the 3/8 screwdriver sockets as i snaped a flat head screwdriver taking a pan head bolt of a job
