Just picked one up a couple of days ago. Nice toolbox. Drawers arent as smooth as I would have liked but for the price you cant go wrong. Im going to get another one and get rid of the old chest of drawers I was using.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

The top section is inside the lower section in the box. Should get 2 on the back seats handy enough ;-) need to unscrew the base to get the top box out.

One thing though. Dont open too many drawers on the top section at once or it will unbalance and fall on the floor and your tools will scatter everywhere ;-)

Im going through a garage re-arranging session at the moment. Iv got my eye on a tidy little inverter welder and a lathe on ebay.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

Today i bleed the brakes and striped off the petrol tank guard :D
I then started to remove the bolts out my new guard and ended up hitting my finger with a hammer :oops:
The end of my finger exploded leaving a nice cut :oops:
I then ended up at my local minor injuries unit needing 4 steri stitches. The doctor then told me i may have broken the end of my finger and to go back Monday morning for an x ray as the x ray department is not open on a weekend :(
