I bought this glorified toolbox to replace my long-serving tool-box (the old plastic catches had finally given way). I thought I would use the opportunity to condense the multiple boxes of spanners and sockets that I had cluttering up my store cupboard.In that sense this box has met my requirements. I can now store all my tools in one place and easily get them to where I need them. The bottom box is big enough to stores a couple of rolls of spanners and my cordless drill, whilst the top compartment has more room than I know what to do with.I was put-off by some of the reviews, and was prepared to return the box if it didn't wheel along once loaded with tools. I'm glad to report that it works fine.

A lot bigger than I expected. The toolbox is big with a good sized interior and a top shelf long enough to hold extended screw drivers. As a bonus feature, there is a 'secret' swing out section at the bottom of the toolbox for storing screws, nails, fuses, etc. This is in addition to the large two compartments on the top of the toolbox.The toolbox has it's own handle and there is an additional larger handle that can be used to wheel the whole unit. The toolbox clips onto a large lower storage section which is on wheels and can be pulled, or pushed. The lower section is basically a large open topped storage container, noting fancy. Some reviews mention about the flimsiness of this product.

Had ample of space with this mobile work centre. I've had a smaller chest version which has surpassed it's time and now I've room for all my tools on the go, all in one place as well. You'll need to organise your tools and bits designating in the easiest compartments which I was able to do. Took me about an hour to complete. Have your screws and bolts in jars placed at the bottom. Larger tools were place there too. Chisels and screw drivers in the middle. A handy centre revolving compartment was good for the smaller things. I had trouble when closing the first middle compartment after loading what was at the bottom. Be careful as you have to align the centre in order to close and latch the whole work centre.

After reading the reviews on this I really wasn't sure whether to go for it but I always think you have to try yourself. I'm glad I did because my opinion is completely opposite of the recent reviews. This is fab! We are renovating our house and there is so many tools all over, drills, sanders, drill bits, screw drivers, you name it we are like a DIY shop but now it is all in this and we can move it around with ease. It's nice and tidy and the plastic has neither warped nor snapped. Now I know we only just recently bought it but considering the fact we are using it all the time, including our big teenagers going in and out it is withstanding that.So to sum it up, I recommend it definitely,

Whilst obviously not suitable for a professional contractor's use and not designed for heavy, every day hauling around on building sites it is perfectly adequate for serious DIY users and home-makers.The bottom part is roomy and mine easily contains two drills, jig saw, electric screw-driver and bits. The top part detaches and holds all the hand tools I am likely to need. The middle 'swivel' section is OK to hold some screws of varying size but I find I is better to have a separate box because I can guarantee I'll have all the screws except the size I actually want.The only drawback is that it is so roomy it gets VERY heavy.

I understand the poor reviews from professionals wanting a robust toolbox, however I think that professionals know deep down that to get a 'Trade Quality' toolbox, you need to spend over £100 and are made of metal or strong plastic. For my wifes face painting work though it is ideal and makes an excellent wheeled case with plenty of space. The box breaks in half so makes for easy stowage in the car which is especially good as it fits in her Saab convertible which has a long but low boot. The material is hardly margarine tub quality, I would rate it better than that, probably a good description is it's flexible black plastic that is thick enough to be robust, but flexible enough to be light and to avoid damage.

I'm astounded,after reading some of the very negative comments on here,at just how good this toolbox actually is.It was relatively cheap,seems solid and substantial enough for normal everyday use if you're a DIYer or hobbyist,and unless you are a professional builder then it's all the box you'll ever need. I suspect Stanley may have been looking at some of the criticisms,and have 'beefed it up' a bit. I saw people saying that they had to shuffle around like neanderthals with vent knees while trying to wheel it. Well,I'm 6'5" tall and this DOESNT require me to do that,not does it trail it's backside along the ground if you overfill it.All in all,it is what it is,a decent,well-made substantial

This is a great mobile storage unit. The top half is secured by sturdy clasps that keep the 2 parts together. The bottom section is undivided storage, the top section has a tray for small tools that lifts out with a carry handle to allow access beneath. There is also a handy swivel-out drawer for small items such as screws.The kit is well made with good quality fittings and even fully loaded feels robust. Joining the 2 halves can be tricky as the lip on the front of the lower section tends to distort slightly out of line with the top and needs a few wiggles to line them up. There is a folding handle on top that allows the unit to be pulled along as a trolley,

Absolutely amazing product!It is by far the cheapest mobile tool centre in the market (under £30) and my partner absolutely loved it! He can now put ALL of his "boy-toys" in one place as the box is big enough (even big enough for someone with far too many tools....no seriously, who needs 4 hammers??)Unless you are a tool collector, you will find that this box does the job just right (or you could buy two I guess) The material is sturdy and it has great closing clips to keep everything safe (you can also put a lock on it as it has an unbuilt hole for it) the wheels are big and strong and make it all very easy to move around the house without the need of lifting it.

I've owned my Stanley Work Centre for quite a few years now and am still very pleased with it. It's used for holding and transporting all the materials I need for theatrical prop making. It's full of paints, brushes, glue guns, heat guns, dremels, drills etc. It gets transported from theatre to theatre and is handled quite roughly at times!I suppose you have to consider what you are storing. If I was storing power tools etc, then this box wouldn't be for me. However, it is quite fit for my purpose and hopefully, it will be with me for many years to comeI subtracted 1 star for the short handle. I'm not exactly tall at 5"5', but even for me, the handle is poorly designed.

This toolbox suits my needs perfectly for storing PC tools, fans and other small components (lightweight). This toolbox would in no way suit a tradesman like builder, plumber or electrician who would be storing heavy tools/items.In the first 5 minutes I managed to bend one of the padlock loops that the clasp closes over that you would secure tightly with of course a padlock and then managed to bend it back into place with little to no force.If you are like me and will use it for light tools/items it will do it's job perfectly but if you need it for the above stated jobs forget about this product and look elsewhere.

I bought this for my son. The proportions are great if you have large and small tools/components. There are a lot on the market but this one is probably one of the best for maximising storage space and accessibility and it is better than a lot of the more expensive ones, my son was delighted with it. The handle and wheels allow him to move heavy tools around at work without straining himself and he can still store plenty of small items in the carousel.I would buy it again, heavy duty, well made, looks good and ideal for purpose. It has a tray inside and the boxes are removable. Really good.

I love this product. prior to purchase, I had tools and bits all over the place at home in several smaller toolboxes. I was so pleased to be able to lack everything into this one unit - and have room to spare. I love order and this suites me perfectly. I love the centre console to store my screws etc. in separate compartments. I live in a small flat and having this unit (love the fact that I can wheel it around and take off the top section) really helps contain everything neatly. Its durable and easy on the eye (for a toolbox)!!A worthy investment and definitely value for money. Thanks!!

Bought this for my neighbour because his wife was complaining about his tools being all over the place. Came really fast and he now has a place to put most of his tools at least. Smallish issue was that the bottom box didn't fit 100% on the track as the plastic had been pushed out whilst packing and so when you placed the top box on to the bottom box, it was slightly warped but didn't stop it from stacking together.Overall Very nice item for the price, I could of bought one similar at a cheaper cost but that one didn't come with the wheels which makes it very easy to move.

I got this to tidy up the scattered collection of tools I had lying around the house on shelves and in cupboards. It did that admirably. It has plenty of space in both sections (it splits in the middle, and has a useful lift out tray on the top). I have seen critical reviews about its sturdiness for a professional workman. My own view is that it is aimed at the home DIY market where it is perfectly robust for that use. The workman who is tossing tool boxes into the back of a transit van everyday should use metal to take the pounding. Otherwise it's fine.
