My next door neighbour has a garage full of Snap-On cabinets and lots of gear to fill them. I nearly wept tears of awesome when I first saw it all. He's worked on all kinds of vehicles, so has 'normal' sized tools all the way up to 3"+ hub nut sockets for London buses etc. So jealous.

Beast of a toolbox you should see my huge array of fine tools

To match my legendary DIY skillz

Similar tool box to mine, I got one of the limited edition subaru ones in blue. Nothing better than having a decent tool box to store your tools neatly into.

See, now people wouldn't be able to steal my 'tools'. They'd break into garage and think 'WTF!'. They would then probably roll the stones down the hill to **** me off

I'd steal your stones and leave your tools tbh

Nice cabinet, have you got enough tools to fill it?

These things are soo heavy. I remember having to load a couple onto lorrys. What a workout.

I have to say I don't see the attraction of the extra price for it to say 'Snap On', but then I'm not into stuff like that.

The family business is a Beta stockist and Ive had a good look at their cabinets. They aren't cheap either but seem better value.

I do agree to a certain point buit, when you open the likes of a halfords tool box drawer, then one on a snap on one you can tell the quality. I mean you can even see the quality when you look at it.

I like the way your shed looks like it might be a railway carriage. I think I know what I want as a shed when I grow up now

Needs a lot of work though :/

I almost bought one a few weeks ago that someone had traded in mate

. This ones the American series or whatever they call it though, so its wider, deeper and taller...gonna take me ten years to fill the bloody thing...

Think of it as an anti theft deterrent...

To Jon, Merry Xmas...From Jon...

One hernia later, its home...

How do these come? , are the drawers just bare inside?

Do you cut out foam inserts for your tools?

At work all our toolboxes have a flourescent base with foam templates so its clear where every tool belongs.

is it really that colour?
