[Closed] PSA Halfords tool chests again

Check they have not been crushed in storage before you leave store.

Or been radioactively contaminated?
Or full of vipers?

And they actually exist and not fake stock levels

Mine apparently do - will pick up in the morning. Cheers.

Good PSA. If I didn't already have three of them I would be in!

Great deal, I have two but perhaps "need" another three...

if you are thinking about picking them up they are pretty heavy and you will need decent space in your car.

I picked mine up with my alfa gt, but in reality it wasn't worth my BC discount and I should have had them delivered.

The guy helping me into the car with them was telling me about his shoulder problems and how easily it dislocated - made me feel a bit guilty...

I bought four sets... Rude not to...

Only 25 quid discount now. 225 quid

Aye theres always muppets that will buy unwarrentied tool chests on ebay at near retail eh wysiwyg

How were you aware of that offer wysiwyg? I've signed up for halfords newsletters and never get any, checked junk email and nothing there.

What's the 'BC 10%'? Is that the B16CPM03 code?

Oh rats.... none available in chester 🙁

British cycling

And I saw it on hukd.com

Been waiting months since my last PSA when they dropped

Still 199 with code Lesanita

Ahhhh..... I'd only put the big chest into my basket and added the discount which only bought it down to £225.... you need to add all three chests separatley and then add the code to get £199.

.... reserved 🙂
May have to take the trailer!

One set in the back of the pickup now. All the chaps at the shop were saying that they thought they would get in on the action..They didn't know about the offer.

Yeah I went in to ask which was cheaper trade or this offer, they didnt know about the offer, the bottom box is £130 on trade - that I know

The trade card gives fixed percentages off items now, tools is 20%. Though only works if paying in-store

Got a similar deal for £180 with the midday deal a couple of months ago.

Be prepared to enter the 7th circle of hell trying to remove the halfords stickers. Oh and magnetic inkjet paper is useful for printing draw labels.

All 3 boxes ordered, ta!
Will go nicely in my new garage.
I know for a fact, having picked up the 7 drawer 'middle on' one a few years ago, that there's no way these would all fit in my car!!

DrP

I might take the seats out of the scenic when I go and collect mine then 🙂

Paulwf. That can't be right. £249 to £130 ain't 20%

All 3 boxes ordered, ta!
Will go nicely in my new garage.

what he said!

I'm guessing these three will go in a Mondeo estate with the seats down?

If they don't, I think they might be a bit big for the space I've got for them in the garage!

It may no Ed, it may not...
I seem to recall seriously underestimating the size of the box the 7 drawer came in. I think that wouldn't fit in an octavia boot, so getting all 3 in may be a push!!!

I've going to try collecting this afternoon..will have to take out al the kids seats though!

DrP

If there's an issue fitting them in the car hopefully they'll hold onto a cabinet for a second trip...

nah, but they'll sell you some rope to tow the wheeled one behind the wwaswas pimp-mobile...

DrP

I'd put the roof bars on if they weren't already attached to the roofbox. Think a second trip will be easier to achieve...

Hope they fit in the passato. Otherwise that's 8 trips for me...

bloody hell, I might need to reconsider if they're that big!

Or one of them's going to be headed to ebay before long.

Apparently available from Farnborough & Bracknell.

Want, but can't afford right now 🙁

I'm sure some will come up on ebay soon....

DrP

ive reserved at my 2nd nearest store
but they only hold it till thursday and are open until5-30 which will be problematic, unless i can reserve again for saturday pickup

Be prepared to enter the 7th circle of hell trying to remove the halfords stickers.

WD40 works nicely on them. Fingernails or a scraper to get started and remove the top plasticy layer leaving the white papery stuff. WD40, soak for a minute and it comes right off.

smallest one on its end, seat-belted into the front passenger seat?

How big are the boxes for transport ..... I'd rather not take the trailer if possible!

well they fitted in my t4 with room to spare. but im not helping am i. i think you might struggle in a fiesta. you might get the small one on the passenger seat, and the rest in the back with the seats down

There's packed product dimensions for each one on the site:

wheeled cabinet: 76x54x72 cm
mid size: 72x37x57
small: 73x37x37

Reckon I'll get away with one trip.

I'm probably going to order all three but don't actually need the 7-drawer as I already have one. Would be happy to pass on the discount if someone else wants it and I'll hang onto the other two.

smallest one on its end, seat-belted into the front passenger seat?

I'd prefer to keep using the baby seat, thanks... 😉

DrP

smallest one? baby cabinet?

They should all fit in one trip but it seems my store is having to order the top one in as the one they have is damaged - got to wait until Wednesday 🙁
It's going to be cool as I'm fed up of tools spread out all over the place and taking one spanner out of the tool box only to have another one fall out and disappear under the bench. 👿

Be prepared to enter the 7th circle of hell trying to remove the halfords stickers

Hairdryer them, couple of minutes on each one and they peel off easily

Not as bad as I thought. This is them in there as if I'd not taken the seats out.

Oh, and thanks for the psa wysiwyg 🙂

They're a bit lardy for the cardboard handles then? 😀

yes 🙂

I could lift the big one out the car when I got home but had to use the sack truck to get it any further.

Did anyone manage BC discount on top?

Just picked mine up, and was going to say "fret not, they easily fit!".
Plus 10% BC discount....

DrP

DrP - £199 as reserved online and £180 when you paid in store with your BC card?

Sounds like I'll be getting myself a free Bronze race membership!

Something weird as I cant get anywhere to enter the code at checkout.

hammy - the box is tucked away just above the grand total

Yeah, can't use bc member discount online...just flash the card in store.

DrP

Nedrapier, I've just picked mine up in a mondeo estate, plenty of room!
Needed to put seat down, but all went in ok

Changed browser and found it

Jolly bon, comme ils disent en France.

They've only got two in, the other's in on Wednesday, so I've got til then to put milky film on the windows, knock a stud wall down and paint the walls and ceiling white. Man room here I come!

Put a milky film on the windows...
You must REALLY love your man cave...
DrP

Picked mine up today. Can confirm the big 5 drawer one really is massive. I now have a spare 7 drawer which I'll be looking to shift if anyone just wants that one.

Thanks for the PSA, I'll be picking mine up tonight. Glad to hear that they fit in a Mondeo estate, should be similar with my Passat.

Was planning on getting some as soon as I finished my shed...the missus will be delighted to have these sat in the house until the shed is finished 😀

Cheers, Rich

Havent collected mine yet, still waiting on the vouchers to arrive 😥

stock levels were wrong so halfords will hold my reservation till they get a new one from their warehouse, which should be by saturday and is much easier for me to pick up 😉

Well if you havent paid, wander along to select.halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk
Fill in details, use code MCOUNTHal09, buy £200 vouchers and only pay 192 inc pnp.. sherting. If you can be arsed over £8, saved me £40 though. If they take BC too, theyll cost £180 a set.

Reserved my toolchests yesterday afternoon and collected in the evening. Guys in the shop couldn't believe the price and wanted to know how I'd managed to get them so cheap 🙂

Cheers, Rich

Has this offer passed? have tried to find it on the halfords site and can't see it anywhere.

Finished now

Typical! 🙂

thanks Robdob

Collected the bottom bit on Tuesday and getting the other two tonight when I drops girls off for athletics. Not unpacking anything yet as the barn they're going into had a new roof yesterday and there's a false ceiling to come down which is going to cover everything in shlt.
Once that's all done though I shall have a very large, and hopefully tidy, play pen 🙂

Arses!

Middle chest won't open. key won't turn in the slot.

Back to halfords then. At least it's not the big one!

Ned, if its the one with a storage/lid top then open that first then the drawers will open. Took me a while to work that out..... 🙄

Ha! Thank you! I was just on the phone to halfords and nice girl was telling me they had another in stock as I read yours!

Thanks for saving me wasting 40 mins in the car.

So many stickers, and none saying "NB - open the lid"

No worries dude, I almost did the same...

😀

Or even "There is a lid."! At least the lack of rubber topping makes sense now. I'd put the smallest on on top.

Industrial boxes now on offer, but with a socket set. Any codes against this offer?
(I know there's 10% B.C. & quidco as well)
Or just wait until they're on offer again - sure it was last year that both were £299.

I got the latest bundle offer with 2 industrial boxes and socket set for £292 this morning. Offer was £400, but when I added them to my basket they added a 10% off everything bringing it down to £360, bc 10% off code got it down to £324, I get 10% off Halfords vouchers through my employee benefits bringing it down to £292. I'll be sticking the socket set on eBay for £100 plus postage.

Just picked a batch up, one whole sets got to go back.. Great

In a related note, this system might be of interest to those of you who want to extend your OCD sorting requirements to components, bits and bobs:

I love tested. Adams awesome. Norm not so much.

Yep, I can just about handle Will (who is basically trying as hard as he can to become Adam v2), but Norm is quite irritating.
