Title: SGS Engineering toolboxes
Post by: Webby the Bear on 22 October 2015, 19:40:44
I've had my trusty Hellfrauds top box and roll cab for 6 months now. I've got used to it and it has been really good. Sadly though I have now purchased so much kit I now need to go bigger  :o

As I have had this for a really short amount of time I'm wanting to get the biggest set up I can as I really am thinking I never want to buy a box/roll cab again.

So, I've been speaking to the MAC man and Strap-on. Strap-on can do me a nice deal on a big roll cab but MAC can do me an even better deal on a Britool roll cab. Chuck on my existing top box and job jobbed.

THEN, I found these guys...

I am thinking that I get the 75'' (yes 75''  :o) roll cab with two lockers and then I can always get the chest later down the line if tool buying gets ridiculous.

So. Anyone ever brought one, know of them etc etc? :)

ps I already have a buyer for my hellfrauds kit and as I got a monster discount when I brought it im only going to lose £30  on it :)

I bought a trolly jack from SGS this year, within the first week it started going down and a small oil leak from the small pump shaft.  After contacting them and sending pictures the reply was "Looks like it's in a dirty environment and not been service regularly" it was dirty dusty because it had been under the car all week whilst I worked on it, didn't need servicing I'd only just bought it.
Definitely think twice before buying from them again.

I bought a trolley jack from SGS a couple of months ago. It seems great for the money, but Ive only used it a few times, so time will tell I suppose.  :-\

There bigger boxes look the same as the big Halfords ones......which is what you should have bought in the first place (with the Halfords base and top base regularly being on offer fro £300 for the pair)

Check ebay, some bargains if you wait. A bear and his money, are easily parted, is your tool box full up yet? Do you really need a new one? Or are you trying to keep up with the others(mines bigger than yours) nah nah :)

I like the look of the SS 72" with worktop. That would go well in my garage workshop. :y

It's genuinely over filled. The room is mainly taken up by the plastic boxes that you get with tools (air hammer, compression tester, fuel pressure gauge etc.)  :y

If you need anything from Halfruads, I have a Trade Card from them which usually halves the price of any of their own brand stuff. I recently got a £105 battery for £54, I bought the 'guaranteed for life' tool set for half price too.

If you need it I can post it to you.

Thanks C5 but already got the hellfrauds trade card  :y

This is definitely the biggest box and roll can combo for the cheapest price I've seen
