Tool box help

[Chequeac]

as many people no budget for apprentice mechanics isn't very high I'm currently boring a old tool box to store my own tools but I need to invest in a tool box I'm not bothered whether it's in used condition as long as it's not to expensive can anybody help me find a ok tool box

Any advice?

Craigslist, Sears outlet for industrial CM?

As you are across the pond in Ol' Blighty...

Any advice we would be able to offer would be relatively useless...

Maybe some of our British members could help...

It would help whoever tries to help you to perhaps give a little more detail.

How large a box do you need? Looking for a portable hand box, a full-drawer service cart, or a 40+ inch roller cabinet? Will it have to roll around a shop every day, or will it stay put?

How long do you need it to last? Is it OK to get a lower quality box now and replace it in 3-5 years with better, or will you be stuck with whatever you get forever?

What is your budget? I don't know about your finances, but my "not too much" these days is significantly different than it was 10 years ago (thank God!).

Lower quality new so I could upgrade in the future I'd need just a medium tool chest top and bottom for now wouldn't want to pay more than 200 because for 250 I could get a ok condition used snap on box

Craigslist in your area.. Or if your on Facebook you could try one of the swap shops in your area.. I got one of my hf44 for 200 including some tools!

Most tool stucks will have a supply of used boxes. Some of which might be in your price range.

This fellow is in England...

I would have suggested the HF 44", but it's not available over there...

Some of our British members will have to chime in, and help him out...

He's also looking for pry bars, and the prices, over there, will hurt like a root canal...

We keep forgetting how good we've got it here...
