I've been looking for a decent free standing roll cab tool box for a while now. I know the Halfords Professional ones seem to be pretty good and they regularly have combination deals with them as they do right now with 5 drawer toll cab, 7 drawer top box and a portable box all for £250.

...but in comparison I've been looking at the US Pro and similar ones on eBay at around the £150 mark.

Just wondered if anyone had experience of these and had any thoughts or opinions. Cheers

I have some US Pro stuff and it is typical middle of the range quality - they work well enough for me but may not be great for daily use in a busy workshop. I'd put the firm on par with Machine Mart and Halfords for quality: not Snap-On quality, but nowhere near as bad as some of the bendable spanners and screwdrivers that some traders sell! The bits I've bought have been bought at various tractor and car shows, where bigger firms have stands. That may suggest cheap rubbish, but these bigger firms can be contacted if there are problems - not the sort that trade off a tarpaulin and a car trailer!

I know what you mean, got a few of those.
