Default My toolbox has been stolen!

Came back off holiday on Sunday. I live a block of appartments, and inside the building, there is a cupboard that is never used, so I used to live my toolbox hidden under some towls and empty box's. Think the cleaners must have had a rumage around to find it!

Anyway, my fault for not locking it up.

Anyone know a good set of tools +box for not a lot of money. It's only going to be used for service bits and bobs on cars plus the odd job around the house.

If you can afford Snapon or Pronto if not Halfords Professional

Sorry to learn that you have lost your tools.

Happened to me a few years back over 5k went in 10 minutes.

I just picked up a dirt cheap set from some guy in a van in Kent... sad he didn't need them any more as he was retiring?

Wasn't there a thread a while back about someone who was miffed at tools and stuff being left in a cupboard in their building? Or did I dream that.

yes there was a thread a while back with that same problem, someone leaving their tools in someone elses cupboard.

As for tools Halfords did a red toolbox with tools for £49.99. dont know if they still do it but it has got more or less everything you would need. The sockets themselves are very good quality, however the actual ratchets I would maybe spend a few more quid on some better ones

Interesting that you drag up an 11 day old thread just to say that.

You must have a very blunt axe.
