to your average joe or average petrolhead, stereotypically a toolbox is a toolbox big square metal red thing in most cases.
i dont care if your using stuff at home, in work everyday, jsut for hobbies etc.....
you wouldent pay a good few garnd for a leather re-trim for a car then put it in a 50 quid lada would you? same thing with tools, why keep your investment of decent quality snap on tools in a poor quality box?
get something thats gonna stand the test of time!! properley designed, properley put together, go to a market leader!! not a company thats following and copying ideas of somebody who has OWNED the tool maket for 90 years!
the stuff speaks for itself, really does!
We must be very different people lol i buy good tools as they need to last im not buying them twice but a tool box is a tool box i hate work and theres f**k all (lol) chance im spending the same amount on a tool box as i can on an older r1 for fun at the weekend on!. My 600 pound clark bottom box / 300 pound clark top box did me for about 5 years now has a 100 pound second hand snap on mid section and a second had mac side box that was 80 pounds as i ran out of space but has been doing me fine for 8 years now. 3 of which were on a daf aid van!. It make me laugth when people at my work get a snap on box on one of there rip off finace deals lol just to say look at my big shiney tool box that owes me about 3500 pounds lol
