After breaking my cheap tool box, I thought it was time to consolidate my various toolboxes into one unit.
It needs to be small enough to transport around for the DD milarkey, but large enough to hold a decent amount of tools ( 3 toolboxes worth ).
Any suggestions or better still - recommendations?
I know Snapon - but mucho expenso!!! Others?

Clarke from Machine Mart. Don't bother with the cheapest ones, you want the HD plus range, they use ball bearings on the drawer slides, they're much better quality and not much more expensive.

What's that? Yellow with lost of scratches !!!!! :o:o:o:o:o
I've had no problems with the Teng gear. Very good quality. Priced well relative to a lot of the "budget" brands to.
Whatever you get, make sure it's got bearing runners and it'll last you a long time.
I've always wanted a set of Facom tools.
The name seems to fit somehow when you've just stripped a bolt with them or they've slipped off the nut and you've skinned your knuckles again
