Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - cully - 22-04-2014 views and thoughts on these please i am seriously looking at getting the pair Halfords Industrial 6 Drawer Ball Bearing Tool Cabinet Item code: 169790 [attachment=15668] Halfords Industrial 6 Drawer Ball Bearing Tool Chest Item code: 169774 [attachment=15669] prices are variable so here goes Cabinet £349.99 Chest £259.99 or as a bundle £399.99 On trade card Cabinet £199 Chest £100 the black boxes a bigger than the red and the black is made from better/thicker material with better drawers or is there someone on here that works for Halfords with Staff Discount they wouldnt mind sharing for a purchase and collect from the Exeter or Tiverton Devon store?? RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - mspdan - 22-04-2014 i looked at these the other week but couldnt make my mind up on them :/ look okay but at that price id say worth going for, i cant get a trade card and i refuse pay retail for them :/ RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - puglove - 22-04-2014 TBH these are REALLY good for the money, you wont find anything near as good for the same money, Id go for it if i was you. RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - Eeyore - 22-04-2014 I think they are both really really expensive. Any tool cabinet is. D: RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - Matt-Rallye - 22-04-2014 Friend of mine is an agri fitter and he has them, really rates them too! RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - C2K - 22-04-2014 I've had mine for 5 years and not had any issues. They're a nice setup, although I would never pay for Snapon or the likes. They've come down massively on trade, as the cheapest way to get them used to be BOGOF (but bottom, get top free). They come wih drawer liners, ball bearing drawer runners etc. My only criticism is they could have provided two deep drawers as you tend to drop everything big into the bottom drawer. I've got lots of tools (all home enthusiast stuff) and haven't outgrown it yet. RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - Dum-Dum - 22-04-2014 Cant see how they are that much better than the pro stuff thats lifetime guranteed anyway?

They are really solid RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - Niall - 22-04-2014 They are fantastic bits of kit and am getting my self the same set up after show season. Trade will get you more than staff discount. Staff discount is only 15% and staff only get the same trade as the public. If you get it, get them to unpack it and inspect it before it goes in the car as they very often come damaged because the monkeys on the trucks can't look after anything! RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - cully - 22-04-2014 nice replys guys thanks i may go to my local halfords and talk with the manager about a group buy for the top chest would ther be any intrest say if i could get them to your local halfords store for pick up ? for the £100 ish RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - Danny2009 - 22-04-2014 I've had the roll can for around a year now never had any issues draws are still silky smooth at opening and closing even loaded with weight of tools Really need to buy the top box ran out of room RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - Niall - 22-04-2014 Cully I wouldn't waste your time mate. If it's the same as when I was there, the managers have to justify any discount given that isn't planned hence why they very rarely do (even if they give you free stuff because you complained, they usually used to just wait till the stock take and just pretend it went missing) RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - Nathan1305 - 22-04-2014 (22-04-2014, 07:00 PM)Niall Wrote: They are fantastic bits of kit and am getting my self the same set up after show season. Staff discount is 25% mate, it went from 15% to 25% about 6 months ago RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - Niall - 22-04-2014 (22-04-2014, 08:11 PM)Nathan1305 Wrote:(22-04-2014, 07:00 PM)Niall Wrote: They are fantastic bits of kit and am getting my self the same set up after show season. Jesus they are actually doing something positive for their staff! When I worked there it was a shocking company to work for! RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - daveylennon93 - 22-04-2014 I have the red cabinat and topbox and they're good quality. Got the pair for €300 euro on offer. Was a bargain If the industrial ones are made of stronger stuff then they will last a lifetime because the red ones fairly solid and have good drawers too.

Yeah haha they are actually great to work for now, lots of changes have came in, including the great discount RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - Sian - 23-04-2014 Don't buy these.

Schwiiiiing RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - Sian - 23-04-2014 (23-04-2014, 08:19 AM)cully Wrote: Beat the price and quality and i may consider it Will be teng tools. Il ask on a price. Yes but it depends what it is, big company's can afford to have it cheap. Some people prefer to go to the smaller company's to keep them going. Never a lot in it. And if it's a big ish item they will deliver. Can't go wrong with that. Not including all the stuff on it haha. Apologises for it coming up sideways no idea why it's done that was straight haha £199 for top, £239 for bottom, and £399 for set. Mum said they don't do like for like prices. That's the price don't like it buy cheap halfords junk lol. RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - Matt-Rallye - 23-04-2014 Thats a very good price on a teng box!

Bit then I'm biased haha RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - Matt-Rallye - 23-04-2014 Our apprentice at work (poor bastard) has a teng box complete with tools, seems decent quality for the money. RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - Jama - 23-04-2014 I have the red set and it has put up with 3 years heavy use so far. The black set is better built so if you want it to last longer I recommend it I've been gradually building up my halfords advanced pro tools and they are worth every penny. I haven't had one break yet. RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - Niall - 23-04-2014 Tbh I've had a good look over the black industrial one at Halfords and on the surface it seems dare i say it, almost as good quality as a snap on box but I suppose only time will tell on that front! RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - Connor - 23-04-2014 Cully ill have a word with our apprentice, he works for halfords RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - Sian - 23-04-2014 (23-04-2014, 11:28 AM)Matt-Rallye Wrote: Our apprentice at work (poor bastard) has a teng box complete with tools, seems decent quality for the money. They are good. And life time guarantee. Adam has everything snap on. Absolute rip off they are, double the amount of what teng is. And teng is obviously matching in quality. RE: Halfords IndustriaL tool chests - Ruan - 23-04-2014 The ONLY reason I see Snap On being bought is that you get a bloke come round, give you finance, replace any tools you break with fairly few quibbles... No one else does that really... I like Teng tools a lot, good quality, but have started to get a bit of a name behind them... Though if I had the choice, I'd go for a Britool set every day. If the Halfords box is anything like the older red "advanced" ones they don't open properly, but I'd expect their "Industrial" ones are probably pretty good..s. |
