Near Wisbech dude.

I'm devising a plan with a buddy in MK to use his CostCo card if I decide the Halfords ones aren't that good. I'm in Northampton next weekend, so I'll get one then if the plan works out.

Got to say, I am really liking that black CSPS one Incursus found

Quoting: Incursus

No worries, I think Titsy was waiting for this one to come back in stock as well.

I don't suppose you noticed how many they had in stock did you?

Went to Halfords today and was disappointed with the size and quality of the RollCabs.

So seems like the choice has to be one of the CostCo boxes.

Bought one from CostCo today

Wasn't sure about the quality, seemed OK, also didn't like not being able to check the RollCab for damage as it was boxed up with straps, but as I had travelled to MK and arranged to meet a buddy to use his CostCo card, I just thought **** it and bought it. In Northamton until Monday night, so will have to wait until then to in-box it. :chinny:

Was quite heavy moving it around and squeezing it into the back of the Cherokee!

Thanks again to Incursus for letting me know they were there..

nice one let us know what you think...

Cunning Plan · « **Reply #36 on:** May 29, 2012, 08:45:13 am »

Okay, so got it out the back of the Cherokee last night and put the wheels and handles on.

Thought I would get all of the tools transfered into it, but as fast as I got things done last night, I didn't get time.

Had a little play with it. Seems reasonable quality, way bigger than my current boxes. Little disappointed with the wheels which are a hard plastic rather than rubber, but I doubt I will be moving it that much.

Work top is nice, might have to cover it to stop it getting damaged too quickly.

More pictures when I start transferring all my tools over and tidy the garage up.

They look very bling.

Mine are heavy duty hard rubber castors - not as bling but do the job nicely.

Hmm didn't think to look at the wheels

are you gonna lower it....

that looks like a nice cab, I've had my eye on several of the cosco bits lately, I think I'll be needing a bigger garage though!

I should add that there was also a dent on the underside of the cab, but nothing that affects using it and especially nothing that warrants hoofing it back to CostCo!

I didn't either, I just assumed they would be rubber. Not a massive issue, just would have been nice to finish it off properly.

However, the 'front' wheels do have nice working brakes

Tidied the garage..

Before:

After

As it is on wheels, I just move it to one side when I want to get to the shelving unit or the workbench behind it..
