Ideal £5k toolbox

As the thread title, if you had £5k to spend on a stocked toolbox what would you go for?

I know tools are always down to personal preference, but is there any better kit out there than the Teng TC Monster kit for the money? Usually at £7k it's on at Screwfix of all places for £5200. http://www.screwfix.com/p/teng-tools-monster-mega-master-tool-kit-1123-piece-set/7563k

Snap-on, Teng, Nice case and a load of Halfords Advanced gear, what would be the preference?

Personally have a mix of Snap-On and Halfords in a way too expensive Snap-On toolbox. Now i'm off the tools I feel it may have been a waste, but do enjoy having decent tools to work with. For the fully stocked kits, I dont think you can beat Teng on the value though! But will say the Halfords Advanced stuff is mighty good. Snap-On is another level but you pay through the teeth.

snap on are mediocre at best, they've had their day.
A lot of people say this but I do notice the difference with proper wanker bolts lol. Less likely to round off with the snap on sockets/spanners as I find the fit a lot nicer.

I'm not going to lie, Snap-on's hideous UK website is putting me off.

Ive got halfords mac n snap on. Ratchets are ok from halfords but if to much pressure they slip. Other than that halfords sockets are alot cheaper to replace ;)

the socket normally splits open, gone through 3 or 4 16mm sockets in just over a year.

I split 3 snap on 17mm sockets last week. Lifetime guarantee but no good if you need it there and then.

I wouldn't be going out and spending 5k on a toolbox,a bit proportion of that will be going on tolls you don't need. I'd buy what you need when you need it and build up a toolbox .

Update.

Long story short it needed to be a £5k box from a dealer and not a purchase off eBay, spend £200 and the rest on blow, go on holiday yada yada. I've got the above Teng set getting delivered on Saturday from an online place called toolorders. Honestly can't fault them one bit so far, their service has been second to none.

Looking forward to seeing what's in it in person!
