Re: My first Tool Chest :)
It's funny how you get into the habit of using a particular size of socket stuff. I have 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 and some 3/4 inch sockets and tend to use the 1/2" ones as first choice, almost forgetting the others (and the sockets all hang together on a board). There again, most of my work is on the old tractors (I let the local garage swear at the Golf) and I have a good (Halfords pro) 1/2" ratchet and long swivel bar. I also have a few impact sockets and windy gun (and air ratchet), but I never seem to use those - perhaps because the sockets all seem to be metric!

Re: My first Tool Chest :)
Got some tools for it over the weekend. I got a Soldering iron as I needed one, some non slip rubber mating as it was on offer and a professional screwdriver set.
Next will be spanners

Re: My first Tool Chest :)
I was suffering with serious toolbox envy after seeing yours so I have ordered myself one. The only problem I see with having a shiny new toolbox is my oily old tools will need cleaning / replacing.
Damn I so hate having to go tool shopping

Extra man points for you Terry. Nothing makes you feel more manly than buying tools (except maybe winning an arm wrestle with Chuck Norris).

Re: My first Tool Chest :)
I have just remembered that one tool Halfords make that is excellent is their oil filter removal tool - the one that looks like a misshaped pair of water pump pliers.
They were most useful when I did the ARB bushes on the last Golf, saved a heck of a lot of messing they did! I have remembered because I changed the oil on the big tractor today and the filter is quite well hidden behind the loader frame!
