i've had the better one for years. it's a combination of plastic and metal and was about that price. the all plastic ones are a bit fragile and i'm sure b&q do them a lot less than £100

got a wickes one at the moment

well spend 40 quid is surviving its third first fix, went to couple of call-outs by tube with it, you can use it as a platform step too.
looking at the rolling workshop for its drawers, usefull to keep drill bits/holesaws/blades and all that small bits and pieces.

I've got one of these...

Stanley FatMax Mobile Chest | Save 36% | UKToolCentre.co.uk

Trouble is, when it's nearly full it's nigh on impossible to lift in and out of the van. Now it just sits in the hall cupboard acting a storage for tools I only need one in a blue moon.

I have the fatmax cantelever rolling workshop and do like it. It's plastic but pretty durable but I pretty much keep it vertical and mainly for storage. (Stanley FatMax Cantilever Rolling Workshop | Save 36% | UKToolCentre.co.uk)

If I was going to buy a rolling workshop again I would buy the metal and plastic version (UK Tool Centre - Power Tools & Hand Tools | DIY & Trade ) as I think the top toolbox is detatchable.

this is the one i have. the top box is, indeed, detachable and is a toolbox in it's own right. most usefulo for indusrtial work. as i'm doing mostly domestic at the moment, it's in the garage with the conduit gear, holesaws, spare tools etc.

i have the Stanley FatMax Cantilever Rolling Workshop | Save 36% | UKToolCentre.co.uk) it was really good untill it got knocked over with the handle out/up and bent it so it is a real effort to put up and down and the wheels are a bit week as the metal bends quite easily. it seemed a good idea at the time when i was working on large commercial sites but it is not much use in domestic situations as it is very heavyto lift up and down stairs and even out of the van.
