    Picked up the 4 drawer one today.

    Not exactly top quality but you can't go wrong for 36 quid.

    Just be aware it's only 2000mAh which won't even charge most phones once these days.

    Apart from that, handy to have for an emergency.

    I've had a few of these portable chargers in the last few years and all ended up not working

    I'd be more concerned with the output, at 0.5A it will take forever to charge a device, and for some of the newer phones it would only provide enough power to keep it powered on, as opposed to actually charging the device, you really want an output of 2amp.

    I've an Auskey Emergency bank- its output is 5Amps per socket. However- flipside of the coin- is cost- the Halfords clearance- at a fiver- is good value- even if its just enough to power as opposed to charge the device. Its the sort of thing you could bring on a flight if you wanted to mess on your phone- etc

    0.5A won't charge a lot of modern phones- its a bit silly suggesting it will.

    Picked 1 up today myself after spotting it on HUKD. Lovely piece of kit for the money.

    All other chests are also 50% off.

    Thank you so much! Reserved, and only €22.95 with the AXA card, score.

    Picked up some stuff on Friday and was only 10% AXA discount.

    They do increase it to 15% for a month or so at a time intermittently but it's not gone up to 15% AFAIK

    They have never allowed me the AXA discount on any already reduced items. Seeing as some stores do and some don't I think I'll get on to AXA.

    Collected the 4 drawer tool chest at lunch.
    They refused my Axa card- advising they have been sent an e-mail from head office stating all reduced items are specifically excluded from use of an Axa card for a further discount. This is Halfords Liffey Valley.

    Got some screenwash and wiper blades separately- current percentage off for the Axa card is 15%.

    I got one of the children a bike on the recent 20% off - they had signs up saying no axa discounts for that offer. Some stores had been funny about giving it for web exclusive click and collects, but I haven't had an issue (up until the last month even).

    If we send you our paypal details, will you honour the discount you robbed from us?

    Whats the best way for someone non-trade to get a trade card? That might soften the blow of this bad news. I don't have AXA myself anyway, but I feel for those that do.

    You'd have to be buying stuff in reasonable volumes to qualify for a trade card. I think they have different tiers of cards- my mechanic gets a flat 20% off all purchases (and even then- rarely uses it, as he says they're too expensive).

    Just picked up the 3 drawer tool box for 27 euro in limerick.
    Couldn't use my axa card for the extra 15% as they had been told via email as well.

    Just a few weeks back I was in Halfords. There was a guy buying a bike for his little daughter and the cashier was like "...and you have insurance with axa do you?" pretty much nudge nudge wink wink. So I'm sure they don't really care once they're making the sale :p
