Treated myself

[HandyAndy]

I have always wanted one of these, but as usual other priorities jump the wish list queue :(

Now, i know its only a tool chest/cabinet :o but when I saw the price, I actually thought "nah....that must be priced up wrong"..... well, it wasn,t so had to have it :D

Ok ok it doesn,t have a fancy makers name but it,ll do nicely for my home garage , it has roller bearing drawer slides, all drawers are lined & even has gas struts in the lid......

But the price..............well, you know me and bargains LOL

cheers

Ronnie, I,d imagine Carol thought you,d clicked on a naughty website LOL

cheers guys, I like the colour of it too,

:p sadly, it didn,t come with any tools inside, so I,ve given the Mrs a list of what I want to fill it with..........its a long list :D

But, the price ......didn,t even make my wallet flinch:D

any guesses on the price???:p
I looked in the Machine Mart catalogue & a similar setup was over £400...gulp

cheers

was it a one off ?

[HandyAndy]

was it a one off ?

No, I don,t think so ,

I got it from B&Q....the stores that have the "Trade warehouse" ....the bigger stores.

cheers

[twinturbo]

TT

If it was under £200 you got yourself a bargin;)

It's one of the things on my wish list but i'm just to tight, to buy one:D

[Davey]

Sweet purchase mate. I have a roll cab for my tools at work and its not a big brand name setup either. appearance means nowt to me, function does! It houses my day to day work tools nicely, I can move it easily to any place in my big workshop and its generally tidy...............ish!:D Job's a goodun!:D

That makes me a happy bunny :D

The full set cost me £95 :D :cool:

Cheers Davey....my garage isn,t big enough that i need to wheel it about:o , but it does have castors fitted, with brakes too.

[dogwood]

Yea but looking at the picture, thats the 1970 price.....:D



(Still aint fixed the camera date then....:rolleyes: )
Think I could have that on my Xmas wish list.

[les g]

i cant believe you didn,t try and haggle them down
so for the first time in your life you pulled your wallet out and paid the
marked up price...umm perhaps you,re going soft in your old age mate...
and like everybody else i agree that is a a very nice set-up
you,ll be able space your kit out nice and organised
you might even be able to find the missing 13mm socket!!!
top tip with a stacking set heaviest tools to the bottom keeps it more stable
cheers les g

[james3004]

That is a proper bargin!!!!:D

Shame the b and q near me is just a mini warehouse (one of the smaller ones)

[HandyAndy]

Cheers Les,

I,ve just checked the receipt & in fact the kit was £90....the other £5 was a tin of paint :D

Thats one of the reasons I,ve always wanted one of these, those damn garage pixies:eek: its usually my 17mm & 19mm sockets that go walkies.

Yup, got the heavy items in the bottom cabinet, then the socket sets in the lower drawers working upwards with lighter stuff.....makes a change for me to have it all tidy, even got sticky labels ( professional labels) showing whats in each drawer.:o

cheers
andy

[Headshot]

Heading to B&Q now :) gotta get me one of those!!!

[flyerncle]

Nice one as usual Mr bargain hunter,you dont need to spend fortunes if its not your living and as you say they still go walkies.

Well done that man.:D
