Sealey Ap1608W Machinist Toolbox 8 Drawer

Despite some of the negative reviews for the tool chest I decided to give it a whirl - and I'm glad I did.So the unit is obviously made to a price, and that price is not expensive for a chest of this size. Yes, it's not the absolute highest of quality, and I expect that the quality might be variable between units. However, for something at this price point, that quality actually isn't bad at all (for my unit at least), if fact it's pretty decent.Yes, the panels are made from jointed and glued smaller pieces - but this is quite an acceptable practice and should not affect the overall strength of the product. It adds some interest to the look, and is a good way to use as much of the wood as possible - so gets my vote.On my unit the hardware seems fine - well fitted, and fair quality. The overall fit and finish is more than acceptable - and I'm pretty fussy. It's plenty roomy enough for the kit I had planned for it, so I'm pretty happy.If it does develop any faults? Well, at this price point it wouldn't really be surprising - I certainly couldn't make one for less - so any repairs or improvements required in time I would happily undertake and still believe I got value for money. To be clear, though, there are no apparent flaws at the moment - and I had a good look as a result of reading the negative reviews.Obviously I can only speak for mine but, I'd describe this as solid contruction, reasonable quality and fit for purpose. I'd certainly buy another if I needed to.

Very happy with tool chest

Received this lovely. Good quality wood, professional apart from a missing draw knob. Could you send me one please.There wasn’t an option to send the seller feedback.

This is no Gerstner nor even a Grizzly, but for the money I didn't expect that kind of quailty. It's definitely not a machinists box, I'm a machinist and wanted it for putting tooling in, not possible. It's build is pure rubbish, all the side timber is jointed and glued together, handle held on with M4's and just into a couple of millimetres of timber, lock arrived broken. Look, it'd make a nice box for arts and crafts or sewing gear but its not up to taking any kind of weight. I didn't mind the poor finish, broken lock and stupid way the handle was fitted as all these things can be sorted, my main problem is all the superfluous joints in the side timber, it looks like it was made from scrap wood and gives me no confidence to put tooling into it.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Nice box. Have it on my desk to hold bits and bobs. Top lock don't work but Im not bothered.

Nice wood chest / toolbox. I was a little concerned about some of the comments for this but no need. I'm very pleased with it, nice looking chest, well made, with lots of storage.Ok, perhaps it's not the high quality that you'd get with some of the more expensive boxes but for the price it's really good. Nice wood colour, like a mahogany and all drawers are green felt lined, came well packaged, Great !!

Exactly as advertised

Good
