If your going to get a halfords one go for the red Pro as the draws are on bearing runners, the others are cheap an nasty imo, the missis got me a full set for my birthday

Novalew I did look at that but am thinking bit nasty but will prob do for what I need it for, I'm going up next week. So hopefully have a look in the flesh and judge then, same type in Argos for same price also
my mate just got a snap on and payed 3000 I'm trying to get his old one but he is keeping it :(

Cheers

If you have a Costco near you they have some good roll cabs in normally. Last time I was in there they had a wide version with butcher block worktop on it for about £350. The equivalent Snap On roll cab would be about £1500+

MachineMart have a large range to choose from, but I couldn't work out the difference between them all!

Halfords on 30% off/BOGOF deals are good value, been very happy with my red cab and top box.

I wasn't impressed with machine mart cabs in person either, their ball bearing drawers don't seem to be very smooth at all, and just don't feel that sturdy unless you go to the black/gold range which starts to sit about halfway between halfords and snap on.

I bought a second hand snap on roll cab and top box off the local snap on dealer!! Was less than a grand. Money well spent if you ask me. Had it 10+ years now and the draws still open and close like new!
