Halfords pro is ideal for home or industrial. Clarke from machine mart do all manner of sizes and grades to suite any need or budget.

I bought a Halfords Industrial bottom and top cabinets last time they were vastly reduced, dead impressed with the quality. Spend what you save on Teng EVA tool inserts - very pleasing and orderly 🙂

IMO Hilka is an okay brand, I have the same chest but with a different badge, and it's fine.

Screwfix are pretty good for no quibble returns if it's not what you need or expect in quality.

Definitely no need to buy anything more expensive.

I have just bought the halfords pro stack of three chests. Cannot comment on quality because I am not allowed to open them yet (Christmas present). They are half price at the moment and they took my bc discount (!).

The hilka and Halfords ones look very similar, I’m sure you won’t go wrong! Ball bearing drawers are nice too, usually able to hold more weight ...

I have Halfords Pro (red), Industrial (black) and cheapo (blue) chests. The Industrial are nicer with beefy ball bearing runners, but even the cheapest blue one (which I think was about £100 with a cupboard space underneath is pretty good quality for the cash. The Halfords ones are frequently on discount and I would bet will be in the January/boxing day sale so keep a look out.

I have just assembled my Halfords Pro chest stack, quality seems very good and I am really pleased with it. Looking forward to tidying up my garage at some point in the future......
