Advice on tool storage chests sought.

[spudfan]

There are some "Kincrome" tool storage units for sale here.
Tools boxes, chests, pouches & Stanley tool bags at Homebase (http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/diy/tool-and-garage-storage/tool-boxes#30744573456166767508411111110832991041011151 16)
As they seem to eminate from your neck of the woods, I was wondering if anyone has any experience, good or bad, regarding these.
I was considering this unit,
Kincrome Evolve Tool Chest 9 Drawer - Blue (http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/kincrome-evolve-tool-chest-9-drawer---blue-389055).
Or this one seems to be their "budget unit",
Supatool Tool Chest 9 Drawer - Black (http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/supatool-tool-chest-9-drawer---black-392086)
Any thoughts.

Ive got a kinchrome toolchest that i have taken to work. the draws no longer stay closed properly but ive had it for many years. A guy i work with has the one in your link, he is happy with its and its good value. Its entry level quality. Great for home handyman. If you're looking for something more serious i would take a look at another brand. I have a 1-11 toolchest at home and its made from much better components but it was probably double the price.

Kinchrome gear in general is very good.A fair percentage of my tools are Kinchrome,its my preferred brand.
However,as others suggest if you intend carting the tool chest around,get something designed to do so.

Don't know about that particular one, but some similar have a sticker on the back stating 'no warranty for use in vehicles'. Something to be aware of if you intend to use it in/on your ute/van. Check first.

If it's just for a home workshop, the supatool would be fine, had one for years still going strong. They probably come out of the same factory.

I simply cannot imagine how shipping a decent sized toolbox from Australia to Ireland could be remotely economical, surely the shipping costs would be more than the box itself...

Unless they are for sale locally there, which would surprise the hell out of me!

EDIT

I should have clicked the links in the OP. Far out, I'm impressed that Kincrome is flogging their wares over there now...

Maybe not same factory but same company. I've got a supatool socket set that's done at least 10 years service, including undoing some badly seized bolts with a rattle gun and still going strong.

Before you buy a tool box check that the warranty is not voided by carrying it in your work vehicle or 4WD, I have had a few tool boxes that had the trays collapse after an off road trip, one was a Snap On, totally destroyed in the back of the Disco. I bought a Heavy Duty roll out tray type tool box from Repco, got it home and the warranty card said warranty didn't apply to this HD tool box if it was carried (with tools) in any vehicle on or off road, workshop use only, I now have 2 x 4" deep wooden trays that slide on plastic angle reinforced with ally angle, no problems with 20+kilos in each draw, Regards Frank.
