The Clarke heavy duty range were good although i have a 40' Snapon roll cab, used and abused and its still rocking on. it took four of us to get it off the removal van with all my tools in it.

I have Snap-On and Halfords tool boxes. Be wary if you are buying the latest Halfords Pro range as they have reduced the quality I feel. The roll cab is not as good in terms of drawer bearing slides and no tilting handles.

As with most things, quality suffers in preference to profits. Shame..

I bought three of these from Amazon (homcom brand) and the poster above is correct, all three were cosmetically damaged to some extent (and one was three days later than the others for some reason)

However, this meant I got some discount! So I ended up paying less than £180 for three.

Not the nicest drawers by any stretch of the imagination but they do the job

They offered me the discount, too, but I am the sort of guy who likes things not to be damaged when I buy them. I did wonder why they could not be bothered to pack them carefully in the first place, which set me to wondering how long they would last after I had rectified the dents and broken drawers. Happy I paid more for Halfords-even the cardboard boxes were substantial.

Wilko stock the Hilka range of chests and cabs. I'm not sure of the quality but they have the Professional and Heavy Duty product lines.
