Halfords industrial toolboxes
Just a heads up for anyone looking for a new tool chest the halfords industrial top box and roll cab is on offer at present for less than half price.
The kids and Mrs bought me one for father's day and am very happy with it, very good quality.

They look good to me. I bought a roll cab a couple of years ago and it made a big difference to tidiness in my garage. Nice place for the top box to
sit as well.

That is the cheapest i habe ever seen them.
Some thing for potential buyers to consider. I actually sacrificed the quality of the industrial boxes for the more convenient drawer size and layout
of the professional boxes.
They are deeper on the lower roller cab and have nice little pen / drill / small tool drawers on the top box.
Also did everyone know that if you have the large pro tool sets you can remove the hinge pins and the seperate holders fit the drawers perfectly.
Good design again by Halfords
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Recommend the Pro ones also, industrial is better made but more shallow draws so depends on what you need... ~£150 on offer with top-box last
christmass.

I picked up the middle box a couple of weeks ago for £100 delivered to complete my stack. I have now had the roll cab for 10 years and the top chest
for 8 years and they are both still tip top condition.
I'm particularly impressed with the drawer runners, the drawers in the top chest have been in and out dowzens of times to move the chest to go
racing and they are still perfect.

Am already on the hunt for a middle box to complete the set! Need to wait for another offer as I ain't paying 200 for one.

The £299 offer is fairly common to be honest. It comes up every few months.

Price of middle box is out of all proportion - you would be as well to buy another full set and get loads more storage which is what I have done,
Unless you are really tall it is awkward getting into top drawers with middle box fitted.

You're right it's way out of proportion, however it routinely comes up at half price and I get a further 10% off with work so 90 quid I
can live with. I'm 6ft4 so the extra height will be fine. I'm trying to tidy the garage up and consolidating into one toolbox, which
I've just about managed but an extra 3 drawers would be welcome.

No. Trade card will not get any discount. I reserved mine online and collected an hour later.

I've bought it click and collect and don't have to pay until I pick it up. Going to see if they will take my trade card on it....

trade card price will probably be higher - previously I've been told you either get the trade discount or the retail discount.... when these
offers are on, they're below the trade price.
If you do ask, however, I'd like to know the trade price for a middle box...

^^ you can often combine these offers with the online flash sales / online discounts codes they e-mail you and still select the 'click and
collect' option too
I got the full set of 3 pro boxes for £225 this way - not quite as nice as the industrial ones, but plenty good enough for me 
I believe you don't normally get the trade card discount as well  (still doesn't hurt to ask...)
as above these offers seem to come round in one form or another every few months, so if the above offer isn't exactly what you want then it
could be worth waiting for the next one.... (of course there is no guarantee what will be on the next offer...)

LOL. Done that too!
Just logged on to the Trade Section of site which I haven't been into previously and it looks like the special deals are effectively Trade
prices to everyone and the range of products getting discount seems to have widened slightly to include polishes etc
