some stuff good, some stuff shite.
alot of my stuff is sealey, but for ratchets, sockets, spanners etc. i use halfords professional (the original stuff not the modern garbage) or similar as the sealey stuff is pretty useless.
Dont think the boxes are that high quality either.

A mate of mine bought a fully kitted out teng top box and thats a really nice set.

I've got their hex key set, they are ok. Material is of a pretty poor quality so arrived smeared in a layer of grease, cleaned it off and they all went very rusty, very quickly.

yeah just been looking at the teng stuff

a chunk more money but if it dont fall apart then thats money well spent

i got a load of the halfords stuff and i do like it especially with the warranty but would get expensive to get a comprehensive kit

Have you got a costco card gus?
Toolboxes in there are decent and the tools are pretty good too, I've had a costco special socket set and a set of spanners and I've not managed to kill them yet and i've battered them over the last 5 years or so
