Be aware that not all Halfords red tool chests are the same.

They had one on offer that i bought last year. Its fine for what i want but is made of the thinnest steel known to man and you wouldn't want to wheel it around on surface that wasn't completely flat. The whole chest twists and the doors on the lower section pop open if you do.

I use a Clarke Pro at work, which has lasted a few years now, make sure you go for the ball-bearing type drawers though

The Halfords Pro range is well worth the little extra.
Ball raced draw slides are essential if a frequent user.
They are black, and often they do a deal in store with a roll cab and top chest.
I have a couple - good gear, and I also have Machine mart stuff too but the Halfords black is better.

You don't want four swivel wheels, its uncontrollable, and gets stuck if they all point in different directions!

Another recommendation for Halfords Industrial (black) range here.

Usually on offer every few weeks on their website, very sturdy bits of kit indeed.
