MIght be ok if you are spending a wad of insurance moneyafter the scum have cleaned out your kit but the £500 of tools is a gross estimate- we buy a lot of stuff fdor workshps and has nev r been cheaper -£20 for their screwdrivers etc is a gross over estimate, re tool cabinets the Halfrauds pro range if bought with their discount card are very cheap and seem decent quality.
I reckon for that kind of cash we could buy a whole load more

I guess its sealey list price though.

Halfords stuff is good and as said if you can get a trade card its even better!

It's cheaper than list price at sealey. But I have not used there tools so can not comment on if they are better or worse than halfords pro range.

I have used halfords pro range, and now when I use my argos special tool chest I have at my mother in laws they feel aweful.

If you buy it I;d be interested in hearing what you think of them.

my gut feel is that is a good baragin.

I'd say sealey tools quality wise will be above macnine mart but not quite as good as halfords prof.

Looking at the list of tools I woul say that they are rather overpriced and I reckon I could get most of that kit for half the price (with a few exceptions)

The box is nice though





Cheers,
Raz

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

Its a touch over priced i think. You get a lot BUT the quality of the tools isnt great.

You could get alot better tools for similar money. Roll cab's like that arnt cheap though.

Seally have some better deals on at the minute in there christmas offers leaflet.
