best one I have seen so far. Nice and stable. £42 including vat from Jewsons (knowing them the price will vary from £30 -£60 depending on the weather) A good bit of kit for the money. I like the extra stability from the extended feet.

the red box is one of those SFd screw boxes. I have 5 of them and if you stack them, they scatter all over the van with their nice shinny lids, so i stuck some anti slip stuff on them all. Its worked fine for 5 years now.........mabye needs replacing now :oops:

and its a new(ish) drill with an old battery :help:

Yes I could usually find a few thousand screws laying around the van floor. I used to call it my emergency stock :lol:

The work platform looks sturdy.

The screwfix screw cases used to be much better made than they are now. I have three of them, the first one I bought was silver and the other two are red. The red ones are crap and the paint chips off easily.

The silver one is much better than the red ones.
