You could, you just have the wrong carsI always wondered with a bit if jigging about could 2 cars somehow fit in my garage, deep down I knew it was impossible so tonight I just needed confirmation.
Manoeuvred car about a few times and this is as close as I'll get, maybe just maybe if I was to loose the workbench at the back wall I may fit a MINI in there but that's it unfortunately....DAM IT

2 Smart cars, Caterhams, original Fiat 500's or original minis would go plus a lot of others I'm sure

Teng box was one i already had, think it was 450 with tools which was a great starter kit. Planning on gathering up a few more tools this year and I'm more than impressed with teng quality probably more than I need. Might not be snap on but I'm not trying to earn a living off them and I'd need another job or 2 to pay for them

Yeah I've a few Teng set there. Can't fault them for garage use at all. A cousin of mine is a mechanic and has been buying snap on for 20 years, his collection of stuff is crazy, but even he says it overpriced now.

Nice I like how they even fit in the halfords drawers. It's a nice touch how the lids just come off the Teng sets

My mate got the top box so I tried them in there first, they're a bit snug to fit the long ones in but they do fit

They do longer combination spanners that I'm considering getting next along with a set of ratchet spanners
Actually they've a new set of anti slip combination spanners that I was looking at in Wilson's and I wasn't overly keen on the feel if them
Don't think anything I do will make it work, literally 1 or 2 feet would of made all the difference
On the bright side you cabinets look fantastic. Are they NewAge product? I’ve looked at them a few times but yet to buy them

This finally arrived last week.
Unfortunately some small damage on the top so a replacement is due next week
Decals need fitted still.

That's porn
Yes that's right, took me ages to commit aswell but really happy with them. If you want to take a look at them your more than welcome, I know I would if liked to look at them in the flesh before commiting but didn't have that option
That’s very good of you to offer, seeing yours there put me in the notion again so was checking online. Garage Pride don’t seem to list them anymore, NewAge website have the Bold series at good prices but marked out of stock. I’ve emailed them there to see if they are due back in or discontinued.

I thought about that and then even the Monster mega chest but couldn't justify taking that big a financial hit in one go, going to start and try and gather a set or 2 up each payday or if i need something for a job and build a set I need/want. I've never needed imperial so no need in 2 or 3 hundred quids worth or so taking up space in a box either
I got mine from garage pride but your right they don't seem to sell them anymore,mine is the Pro series which I thought was worth the extra.
I tried contacting Newage myself before hand but it was a slow process
Honestly drop round sometime and see what you think
Buy a cheaper box and fill it with teng tools
