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.

Exactly as advertised

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.

Where to start, if this had arrived perfect I would have been quite happy with the product however the unit I received is a second at best.There are multiple scratches, a missing piece of wood on the frame due to a knot, one ragged cross member where it has been rough cut and not finished, not to mention missing and very poorly finished varnish on the frame and box.The worst part apart from the scratches is the fitment of the door. It's not square there is a 6mm gap on one side and it doesn't sit square. The lock engages by 2mm when fully turned due to the poor fit which sees the top of the door sticking out 5mm proud/forward at the top.To make matters worse, you can't speak with the seller as there's no tab and the nearest Hermes drop off point is half an hours drive away. Not to mention that the box weighs 15Kgs and the corvid implications.Unfortunately I've been forced to keep a box I would have normally sent back if it was not for the weight and problems with returning it. I'm disappointed with Amazon for not having collection from the buyers home given the weight but more so that you can't contact the seller to resolve any issues.

Good

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 !!

Very impressed with this product, good quality and worth the price

I had my doubts as to the quality of this box before it arrived but thank fully I could not have been more wrong. I love it and the quality is top notch. I bought it to hold my dremel tool and all the accessories to keep it all organised and it is brilliant and would recommend it to anyone.
