Tool storage

xriccix · 19 Sep 2018 at 14:23

Hi guys,

Need some storage for all my tools to tidy up my garage and I'm after some advice.

I'm not a professional so can't spend a fortune on the bigger brands and my budget is around £500. I like the idea of a tool chest rather that static storage. Normally i would go halfords for everything, I really like their tools and the policy on replacing damaged stuff. But I want something taller and bigger than what they currently offer.

Has anyone got anything from SGS? - https://www.sgs-engineering.com/stchd41 ... 0UQAvD_BwE

Also id like something quite deep, if anyone can throw any links my way id appreciate it.

The toolchests from Halfords are always going on offer (along with their Advanced range of socket sets) every few months - normally 50% off kind of thing.

Can't comment on the SGS ones, don't own any.

I can't specifically on SGS tool storage, but their products are generally well regarded.

Great stuff from SGS.
On the weekend I have just got rid of my Clarke workbench and all my 3 tier Halfords units for one of these, very happy

As I said I rate Halfords stuff and have a trade card, but it just isn't high enough for me, even with all the bits and bobs on the new ones they just brought out.

All dimensions are on there with some more pics also, happy to take some specific pics after work if you're still interested though.

Interested to what it looks like with tools in, if that makes sense.

Bottom biggest draw:

One draw up, second biggest:

Then the top 3 draws I have filled with the Halfords modular trays so sockets, spanners etc

Then the side draws, bottom biggest one:

Then one up:

Plenty of room, and most of the other side is empty at the moment.
