Some good kit in there at reasonable prices.
I must say having decent tool storage (in drawers) does make quite a difference. I've found it makes it easier to find tools and put them away.
With 8 and 10 year old boys I've also found being able to close and lock the storage quite handy as well

And, unusually for sale items, there's more discount with a trade card... the 170 piece socket set is £125.....

I'm with Nick there, bought the tool chest and trolley last time and have now got all my tools in one place instead of in different drawers, on
the floor, hanging on the wall etc etc. Much tidier and easy to find.

I think I mentioned this before but it is worthy to note again.
After treating my self to a 170 (i think) piece set and a double stack pro chest last year i found out that the lid and base of the tool set can be
split by removing the hinge pins.
The two seperare sections then perfectly fit in the drawers of the lower cabinet. This makes it super tidy. For track days I remove the trays and
refit the hinge pins making it a portable tool kit again
This adds freat value to the sets and ahows that they have thought about how the pro tools stuff works together.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
Please read my ring story:

I treated myself to a 170 piece set at the start of summer 2015 in the sale, fortunately for me i live on the Irish border so was able to get mine for
£82 (120EURO) as the GBP was strong against the euro....... it's not so much fun at the minute!
Do the right thing, right, first time!
If only it was that simple!

Be warned that the Trade Card doesn't seem to work on all items!
I bought the roller base and top box (I promised myself a new toolbox as a retirement present and that was almost 3 years ago!). The Trade Card gave
me further discount on one but made the other more expensive!
