I’ve seen this online. Seller wants £50

Make a cheeky offer. Give it a good wash and dry and it will be fine

The modern fashion of having designer toolboxes is rather lost on me I'm afraid!

It was lost on me as well, until I started trailing tools in and out of different vehicles and across significant distances in getting to sites. There's certainly a significant element of ----ing contest involving tools and storage, but some of the new stuff is well made and ticks many boxes where pragmatism is concerned.

I asked myself 3 questions before buying a set of boxes with wheels:
1. Does it do what I need it to?
2. Is it robust enough to last a decent amount of time?
3. Is it worth the money? (I find this particularly tough when sums greater than £10 are involved).

What would you offer out of curiosity.

I wouldn't want that if it was free. 50 quid for a battered bag, I'll sell you one for 49 if that's the case

Have you one to sell? It is battered tbh, just thought I would get some opinions on it.

There is certainly some wisdom in that! Thanks.

Don't buy it. It's a battered old tool bag. My honest offer to them would be 10 quid, and if they accepted I still wouldn't be sure if I actually wanted it. Plenty of good ones available for less than that new

£35. washed up it will be ok..And you dont have to worry about keeping a new bag all "New"

I have had some many bags and boxes and totes over the years from 5 quid plastic tote to 50 quid ck bags and they all do the same job and inevitably they all end up filled up with junk and screws

my favourite things I had as a dewalt leather pouch and heavy belt which i used on site , but it got nicked from site when i put it down to nip to the shops

same here. weekend sees WD40 wipe of hand tools. touch of machine oil on pivots etc., all go back in bag shiny side up, bit like laying turf... green side up lads, green side up.
