£5 from Maplins in 2004, comes with 4 keys too. Replaced a naff plastic tool box as the bottom collapsed in it (had contents of a small roller cab wedged into it!)

All my other tools are packed away since i got shot of the Nova. Only other thing up here is a 3ft long torque wrench. That flight case alone was used to reshell my Nova :)

[Mike]

Seriously, that case lives under my bed. My van is my toolbox, albeit not for cars unless paint brushes undo bolts lol

[djbrowney]

[muzzy]

I dont have pictures but when i was at Vauxhall i spent a good few thousand on Snap On tools including a box and roll cab, sold it on for a good majority of the money back and paid off the Snap On man.

Recently bought alot more Snap On and MAC tools again along with Halfords Pro and random other kinds. I have pretty much everything I could possibly need to work on most vehicles lol

[Mike]

We only need a limited selection of tools for work as most are provided in the workshop/shift toolboxes

Heres mine, there used to be more but the other shift just rob them when you're on overtime grrr.

Mainly Beta, Atorn allen key(Dogs danglies compared to other peoples at work) circlip pliers, general stuff. theres more in the trays behind and the bottom tray that isn't open
