A good review so thank you for posting, i am considering purchasing the top tool box so this video was helpful.

Proper honest review, I found the same issues you did with depth of module kits, even new 1/2 sockets do it in the foam inserts.

Been looking at buying the halfords box for work so i can bring my snapon one home, just got the roll cart for £120 so gonna see how that goes least i dont need to use my snapon box as much when im wheeling the cart around.. cant wait to bring my corvette 50th snapon box home

I would love a snapon box but as a hobby DIY tool user the 56" sgs box I now have is plenty good enough for home. Maybe 1 day if I get a proper workshop I might treat myself to 1 lol👍

@@TheYorkshireMix snapons mainly a hobby for me i buy tools and leave them in the box haha, ive got 4 snapon boxes now traded in my gulf racing box for the lancia delta 40” to have at home, i also have the ford rs ‘retro annual meet’ box and locker at home i just couldnt resist them both haha, ive had the corvete 50th since i was 5 my dad bought it for me 20 years ago and its sadly being used at work just now and im feart to ruin it! So once i get a halfords box i can take that home along with my green locker as i have a green box set up which i bkugjt when i started as a plant mechanic which my dads now using, bringing it all hone will be a big pain as we aint got the space yet lol I get the snapon bug from my dad who had a massive collection but a lot was lost to fires and the rest stolen years ago so started pver again

@@Kieran_OPC it's not a bad hobby to have collecting tools. It does get very addictive. I must admit I do keep looking at snapon tools but I can't justify the price at the moment. I'm happy with my Halfords tools for now but I might upgrade in a few years👍

Appreciate you’ve sold the box now, but watching the video it looks like the modular sets are still in their boxes which may explain the fouling when trying to close the drawer? The later modular are foam

If you remove the drawer liner they did fit ok but the new style trays should fit no problem 👍

Was looking into the bottom chest as would like to remove wheels and bolt to the 18mm plywood floor in my little van, my only concern is, will the draws open, when locked, with all the g-forces going on, when driven.

Unless you plan on sending it round a racetrack on 2 wheels i think you will be fine mate 😂 they might occasionally open if you don't lock them and have heavy tools in the drawers when driving like a mad man but I think that would take some doing. The locks will definitely hold them closed though as I think it would take a very large amount of force to pull 1 open if its locked. Hooe this helps 👍

@@buggbairn im also a home DIY'r and I cant fault the Halfords advanced tool. I only sold the box as I needed something bigger as both tool boxes I had were overflowing. The new box takes up the same space as both my old boxes but I now have loads more room to fit more tool in lol. For the price and the lifetime guarantee on the Halfords advanced hand tools I don't think you can beat them although I do think us pro tools are just as good but im not sure what guarantee you get with those 👍

I’ve had the box since is first come out , the locks are trashed on the top box due to Draws not even locking , you cannot even fit the split 200 piece set in the top , wouldn’t recommend this box at all , for the price you can definitely find something on SGS which is twice the size of this box for the same price

I have that box and the top i have replaced twice when my other one comes tomorrow so that will be my 3rd top box due to soft close not working and my bottom draw keeps poping out when i lock it up. This box is not worth the money in my eyes that is why i call halfords shitfords because all there stuff is shite and low quality for the price so i get stuff from mac tools because they are quality stuff but i only buy halfords tools if i will not be using it all the time at work or for home use

Yeah if I was using them all the time as my job then I wouldn't have gone for them but as a hobby tool I Don't think you can get better for the price. The Halfords box and all the tools is cheaper than a small high quality toolbox like mac or snapon and it still comes with the lifetime warranty 👍
