"I should have bought these years ago. If I had I wouldn't have wasted all those hours trying to find where I'd left my tools. Now, (provided I've remembered to put them back!), I know exactly where to find them.
Do line the drawers with pieces cut off the Halfords Universal Drawer Liner Roll to stop all your tools rattling around. The ball bearing slides on the drawers work smoothly and silently, especially when fully loaded.

"Compared to others out there i have to say this is well worth the money. It is more than big enough to house all your spanners, pliers etc etc. 5 nice and varied sized drawers, lid section and a large space at the bottom.
The red paint or coating is nice and tough / thick mine has already taken a few bashes and remains in good order.
Only draw back is the bottom section has no lock and this would have been a nice feature."

Pros: price
Cons: size
"This is a very well priced and well made tool box , only down side is, the draws could do with being bigger. But I suppose it's the idea size for a home mechanic. Fits all my tools in nicely ; I have already shown this product to a number of friends if you are a home mechanic this is for you, if you want it for a workshop you may need something bigger , but my local halfords did have it on display so I could have a look before I brought it"

"Not a bad product for the money - you probably won't find anything else for a similar price. It's not the best build quality and the drawers don't open very smoothly but overall it's a good unit. Easy to assemble and looks cool!"

Pros: cheap price
Cons: needs some means of fixing the top drawer section
"On a special offer price this cabinet offers exceptional value, but you get what you pay for. Don't expect a rigid, tough unit that will last a lifetime in heavy professional use! The steel is thin and really flexes too much, so the drawers don't run that smoothly. Paint quality is poor and I doubt this cabinet would survive well in a damp environment. There is no means of fixing the top toolbox to the lower cupboard - temporarily or permanently - which leaves some doubt about stability, especially if the drawers are filled with heavyweight items. I usually but top quality but couldn't justify paying a high price for this particular purchase."

"I'll start by saying that this isn't a premium tool box, it's most definitely a value one, but having said that, it does exactly what I need it to and was a bargain. It's relatively sturdy and is a nice size for the home mechanic/diy(er)."

Pros: very good price, smooth drawer slides
Cons: castors aren't great
"Ordered online to get the best discount and collected in store. Quite a small box, managed to fit on the back seat of my golf mk4 hatchback but would have easily fit in the boot also. Box was quite light, most people wouldn't struggle on their own. To assemble bottom panel had to be unscrewed with 11mm socket, top chest removed with phillips screwdriver then bottom panel refitted with or without castors. Ball bearing drawer slides, door and paint appear to be fairly good quality. Castors dont swivel very well but at least stop you scratching a good floor and keep the unit off the ground. Lock only works on the top half of the unit."
