Balls! Unpacked the chest and it’s dented :mad:
Have to repack it and get it back down to them to swap it over. Total ballache

Don't even think about taking them out of the shop before you check them. The shop assistants will suck air through their teeth and roll the eyes at lifting them out of the box but there's a high chance they will have a dent. I checked two different ones when I bought mine and none were dent free. I accepted the best one with a tiny dent on the back, just to get my box and get out of there.

Crisis averted. There was another in stock so got my neighbour to give me a lift into the car with the old one and swapped it out. No dents (y) All put together

Filled my empty trays with the bits from the 200 piece set. The empty trays come in a 3 piece set so take up 3 drawers which isn’t ideal but it satisfies the mild OCD. The only downside to the empty trays is that they don’t fill the drawer fully. Will get some pics in daylight as I’ve still no power to the shed :rolleyes:Used the deeper bottom drawer for my drill which just fits. Could probably do with another small set of drawers for odds and ends.

You need your receipt for an exchange that's my only issue. But I keep all of the receipts in a folder in the tool box as I can loose my shadow.

To many cars
I've never been asked for a receipt. Always swapped hassle free, maybe had 5 bits replaced.
Yea I was chatting to a mate worked in Halfords, he always said if I broke something just land in as a Halfords part is still Halfords with lifetime warranty

This be the truth, never had quibbles over broken hex sockets or ratchets.

Asked me for a receipt when all my driver bits went rusty after a year, I couldn't find the receipt anywhere so just lived with it.

Couple of pics of the drawer trays. There’s space at the back of the drawer so I’ll try to find something to fill the voids

Have these myself - the space is almost the exact size for an adjustable torque wrench in a slim box. I had a full hunt one day to make use of that space - random halfords didn't add another row of random pockets to fill the void.

Wonder if my Draper torque wrench will fit
