I compared the Clarke Professional range with Halfrauds Professional; range - different as chalk and cheese. The Clarke was slightly more but had ball bearing runners etc, just felt more substantial



The Halfords one was a "Industrial" one not a "professional" . . . I had a play with the professional and it was as good . . .

I'd feel happier having a butchers at a Clarke HD Plus before parting with nearly £700.

Checked Pollards price against Machine Mart and MM are cheaper . . . Gonna give them a call tomorrow and ask if any of their "local" stores have one on display so I can have a gander.

I'm gonna investigate the Clarke HD ones first simply as they're alot bigger . . . and I have alot of crap to fit in them.

If I'm not happy with those the Halfords ones may be the next option.

Nothing in particular . . . I have a Mac tool chest but it's just too small.

I started looking at the Clarke HD Plus (black & Gold) one simply as it was the biggest I could find (1m+ wide x 1.5m tall) for a reasonable price.

The Halfords "Industrial" (the black one) seems to be their best and most Heavy Duty so that's a possiblity.

I'll either then sell my Mac one or "Refurb" it.
