Default snap on or teng box

i want to get my tool box and from what ive seen nothing comes close to snap on boxes but obviously theres just the high cost so was thinking about second hand but i dont want to use ebay. only really looking for just a top box at the moment. any ideas where to look. also considering the teng tools ones but they just look a bit small and the shelves dont seem very deep only 50 mm. anyone use one of tengs boxes?

No comparison in quality. Snap On all day long. Teng make some good tools though.

I bought a second hand snap on box from ebay , 3 Tiers in height for 300 quid

it had been brush painted badly , so i stripped it down and sprayed it , Its currently sporting a Gulf Racing Livery , ill get some pics up when the Decals are finished

But the Snap on stuff is the best for boxes , they look so much nicer iMO

US Pro is another brand name for Sealey - stuff's not bad, be okay for a static garage or workshop, no good as a mobile box tho. For that, nothing comes close to Snap On. I've had a few boxes - From Sealey to cheapo "Clarke" (Machine Mart brand) and next to Snap On they all shit. Finally got a Snap On box a few years ago, and it was fucking shit hot. Only changed it for another Snap On box purely as I needed bigger!

Best thing I ever bought tho - still as rugged and functional as day one, minus a bit of paint here n there of course!
