    when i started out at work i first bought a second hand top box ( just the upper tool chest) from the snap on van, he was happy to give me credit but i think i paid a big chunk in cash

    i then set about filing that with tools and then worked my way up onto bigger boxes as i got more tools/money

    id advise your son looks over any off the cheaper ones before buying, as for day to day use they arnet alway great..for instance some cheaper ones dont have roller bearings on the drawers so theyre hard to open when full of heavy tools

    also remind your son that its better to spend the ££££ on the tools rather than have a massive empty tool box...and ask if the workplace has insurance incase of theft

    You could try ebay - there's often Snap-on tools and boxes for sale there.
