I like the big shiny one.

I've got a machine mart hd ball bearing,  10 draw top, and a roller cabinet, with a strap on addition 2 draw, all full up.

Depends which ones, they do an uber cheap version which is well, cheap, the next is the professional whish is ok (I suspect its the same source as the Clarke HD).

The you have the bigger industrial ones (I have a set of these and they are pretty good)

Considering the Pro ones as the budget won't quite stretch to the industrial ones, even at half price...

Anything will be better than the busted plastic teacrates I currently use ::)

I have the Pro ones and the Industrial ones.

Both very good, but the top chest on the Pro ones really are quite small, as they aren't very deep.  The drawers don't open and close as easily, as I've found time and time again, having both hands and teeth full doing something, and trying to reach for a tool in the closed drawer ;D

Had mine for a couple of years, could be sturdier,  but nothing better quality for the money,  so well happy.

Im sure there's better quality ones out there, but id say you could also pay a lot more and wind up with something no better, too.

I would like one, but theres no point in having one. Theres a 6 inch step down out of my shed, then I would have to push it up hill for several metres to where I'm working on the car.  One day I'm going to buy a lottery ticket and then win millions. Then I shall have a garage / workshop.
I shall enjoy this for at least several months, before becoming too old to make use of it.  ;D
