If you knew how much I need to move, you'd know bikes make little difference

Can use my trade card if that helps.

**Yorick** · 03-01-13, 20:52

I've got one

<Garage Journal*>Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Unless you buy Snap On it will break, the world will blow up and you're head will fall off, your wife will get porked by the milkman and your dog will go hunting with the bloke next door<Garage Journal>

Ok boxes actually, well upto the "Left in a corner for twenty years and opened a few times a week " type of usage I do.

*ZRX61 is an exception to this rule as I don't see him as that much of a fan.

surprising, (in fact, amazingly) the Harbour Freight boxes have been getting good reviews on Garage Journal recently.

*edit* the Halfords ones are pretty good, I have the bottom one and the mid box.

Yeah, I noticed that but by christ they do love their Snap On stuff. I'm not saying they are bad by the way just priced to take finance deals into account. Or overpriced, depending on your point of view.

Whats yer username on there? Mine wont take a rocket scientist to find.

I wish I had £300 to burn. I'd be down like a shot. However, I burned it on a new camera on Christmas Day. Who sets an ebay auction to end at 2.15 on Christmas day

We had a look at these on Boxing day (Sad,innit) and the drawers are a bit wangly... The cheaper boxes seemed to have more solid drawers. I did like the clips that keep the individual drawers shut though.

**Danny_Two** · 04-01-13, 10:00

I have the cheaper red version and it's well solid. Not sure what the difference between the black and red is.

same as here, but I don't get on much. SO do some nice stuff, I have a few bits and pieces, but they are IMO overpriced compared to similar quality kit.

The flex head set Are much more useful IMO. I got some a couple of years back and they paid for themselves as soon as I got home by getting into a space it would have been a total ball ache to get anything else into

That set misses the 9, 11, 16 & 18 size spanners. Not a complete set really, which is why I went for the standard ratchet set.
