Car boot sales is the way forward. It is nice to know that there are some good tools coming from China- makes a change from the crap i've experienced in the past, but still wouldn't buy them lol. I saw a big plastic bread tray full of whit spanners at a local boot sale that nobody wanted and ended up buying the trayful (and tray) for a tenner. About scrap price as they must weigh a c.w.t! I get all my tools from boot sales with 'made in england' cast into them for less than the price of the chinese equivalent and i am yet to break one.
Also the ex-mod ammo cases are good to keep tools in- hammers in 1, spanners in another etc as i too bought a machine mart tool box but if you put more than a few small screwdrivers in it the bloomin thing falls on you when a draw is opened.
But old, buy british, buy one,
Just like the machine you will use them on!
lol
