    I've only got one half decent picture of my box at home. Haven't got a picture of the box I have in work.

    ^ Lovely set up! Whats your main brand?? Mine's Snap-On expensive but a joy to use. Should really have a ''Money Shot'' with the drawers open!

    Most of my tools were taken from a car I had in storage. I ended up with nothing

    I got a present of a Teng socket set for the aul birthday so time to start again :D

    My box consisted of a big bottom chest, a 3-drawer middle chest, and a big top chest. It was stocked with mainly Teng, with a few bits 'n pieces of Snap on and other brands. And then 90% of it got stolen. BastArd$!!!! Felt like I lost an arm! :(

    I got a new job soon after that and they supplied all the tools I need so I havent started to build up my own set again yet.

    Britool/Sykes boxes.

    All sorts of tools/spanners. I do like the feel of Snap-On but refuse to pay the daft premium for them. Have bought a good bit of Britool stuff in the past.

    Can't have any bigger boxes than what you see, they move from van to workshop to breakdown truck and need to be able to be lifted by myself on my own though it is a bit of a struggle with the top box! :o

    I have them Halfords boxes nothing wrong with them at all. Other company's use these but they are just re badged. I was thinking of taking off the Halfords badges and putting snap-on ones:D

    I'd love to have a phone with the ability to take photos:(

    Ah if you think that was nice there is way nicer!

    I'm out of the trade at the moment trying to up skill but I remember at the time there was a bigger, better quality box.

    It had disc brakes ffs!

    http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=storage&item_ID=79669&group_ID=20811&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog

    $18k!

    Euromillion numbers in fairness!

    Holy heart, $18k for a toolbox! I would imagine it's aimed at racing teams and the like


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,248 ✭✭✭Plug


    One of the lads I used to work with had a massive tool box worth 20k grand! Ya can justify buying expensive tools and stuff but not a tool box worth that much!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,815 ✭✭✭✭Anan1


    That thing does weigh over 700kgs and has a load capacity of 2.7 tons!

    ^WTF is that sticker with Teng???? Is it a dog or a devil????


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,223 ✭✭✭Nissan doctor


    It is supposed to represent the emperor Teng. Apparently an ancient Japanese character of some sort.

    It's person holding the tools and not the brand I would be more interested in
