Spot on, a well bought used one is a great investment
LOL .. 's only five out of a dozen or more drawers ... nice to have it all in one place (well almost one - got a couple more unitsImpressive
) ... and a lot of cupboards maaaany years 'collecting' 
.I rekon mine as it is saves a good few minutes a day which adds up over the yearWhat happened to the sling it on the floor and find it later method.
I couldn't justify a van dedicated to tools, I've thought about it but where do you draw the line at what tools you take/how you get them to the job.
I carry machine essentials and decent spanners/socket set but that's it.
As always I suppose it depends on your own needs but for me no dedicated tool chest would be the solution to my work.
I don't know how anyone could justify that sort of money just for the toolbox. I get you want quality, but you can pick up used Polstore or similar for a fraction of the price and they are superb quality.
SGS I bought 20 years ago it’s still good, has been in 4 vans, but another fitter bought a box similar from SGS it is lower quality and fell apart quite quickly once in the van!!
exactly my thoughts Gra ... they're probably 3-4 times the price new because they are absolutely superbly built, to last forever. Most of these 'tool boxes' are priced by name, not quality.

Pelican stuff is very good, but again has a premium for the brand name ... my concern with those would be condensation and the slightest damage rights them off, realistically .. nigh on impossible to repairDave sparks has a couple of these and they treat em like crap...
I like the idea of being able to just move from vehicle to vehicle or lug it the job directly. Prob get most of what you need in it ..and no rust few quid though

I have a Pelican wheeled carry on I use as an overnight bag. Bought it second hand on ebay probably 25 years ago. It gets used most weeks often in the back of trucks or pickups with all the gear. It has sustained some damage, but fantastic build quality. Fully water proof, dust proof etc. I would happily pay for the Pelican tool box if spannering was my business.Dave sparks has a couple of these and they treat em like crap...

Someone's got a bigger peli fetish than me!
All their boxes say not suitable for vehicles
That's to cover them, technically if they state suitable for vehicles itll need crash testing etc etc .
Just thinking the same.
