Depends on size and thickness. (Tool draw size dependant)

Each bed here is around 775mm x 685mm. So 18mm thick is around £40 - £50 and the 31mm thick is around £70 - £80 dependant on whats cut out.

I had two others made @ 370mm x 685mm x 18 and they cost £27 each.

Yeah they aint cheap but iam hoping the cost will be off-set by the reduction in tool loss ..

Some people on here spend more money on Brake Pads than this set up cost .. Horses for courses I supose.

Yeah I designed the layout around my current inventory and also included future purchases .. As long as you have the Part number and date code in some cases .. They have the majority of the snap on hand tool line up on file .. Any tool not on file can be sent to them for scanning .. They also have cutouts for other tool brands like MAC, Stahlwillie, Bahco and other European tool's ..
