Tool Chests ..
Any recommendations?
Been looking at the Halfords Professional Range:-
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...1&iozone=PDPz1
Any other choices? ... just for home use, but not as cheap as Halfords 'cheaper' range - they really are not nice to use.

why spend loads of money?, go to secondhand shop/ junk shop, even an auction, buy an old chest of draws, or map cabinet, in yeasr to come they might be worth more than your tools

I bought a 9 drawer Halfords Pro chest not long after they were introduced, and have been well impressed with it 
The drawer runners are still as smooth as ever, despite some of them being a touch overloaded, and covered in crap and grider debris
Good tools, but over-rated and over-priced.
The main reason mechanics swear by them is not because they are better than everything else (they aren't), but because they can buy them on the drip

Halfords pro range is very good and has a life time warranty with it, keep an eye on the website though as they regularly offer big money (25 or 33%) off the whole range
