I bought an S-Class when they were first released, which is probably more than 3 years ago now..

never once in that time have I been anything less than delighted with it

Sturdy, lightweight, versatile, well built and surprisingly roomy

The original footplate fitted to mine is very good, but the newer versions have an improved bracket that looks even sturdier

attachments & side trays, outstanding

to be honest I’m struggling thinking of any negative points, in fact I liked it so much I bought the Matchbox MX canal stool aswell for travelling light & squeezing into the car for holidays down Devon

the version I have has extending square legs, but the new ones have wider, round legs, which look sturdier again

all in all, a very well built piece of kit with an after-sales record second to none

Hi Ken

I bought an SX 4 drawer a few months ago and aboslutely love it. It’s incredibly stable even for my 15st weight and is very light. The pole seat is a bit hard the first couple of times you use it but after that it’s fine. I would recommend it.

I’ve been sat o nthe latest version fo the S class since they came out, the round leg version with new frame and footplate, and its by far the best box they’ve produced to date.
the new leg system and footplate is absolutley solid even at full extension
Would recommend also the individual winder trays which means you can chop and change which rigs you want!

I’ve recently bought an S class with the round rive type legs and can honestly say it’s superb. Match box have always made quality boxes – I sold my old pyramid box and had a spell with a preston space station but just couldn’t get on with the size and weight so I switched back and can’t fault it.

I’ve had the s class for year and a bit now after upgrading from a pyramid.

Cant honestly fault the box, strong sturdy, well made with lots of extra’s available.

My only comment (not that would ever have affected me buying the S Class) was the original winders it came supplied with were poor. Used to go off shape and break. Think they’ve upgraded them now though since I bought mine as I replaced all the supplied winders with fox ones.

Like I said though I bought the box for the quality it was not the winders in the trays.

You wont go wrong with one, top marks to Matchbox ~clap ~clap ~clap

on the subject of winders, I use 180mm Daiwa Slide Winders, and because they are a bit thinner you can fit an extra one in the trays, so you get 15 instead of 14

Does anyone know if the new MAP hooklength box fits in the deep side drawer, its 36x14cm.

cheers guys looks like its a matchbox s class 2 stool with a couple of extra winder trays underneath with 25mm legs…get in!!!

Can any of you S Class owners please take a quick measurement between the outsides of the mud feet so I can see if it will fit on my stand/barrow.

25.5 by 14 inches on my SX 4 draw.

Cheers Norman`s nemesis, is this the same footprint has the S Class, anybody??
Have an other question, what is the main chassis made of, is it ally??

[Anonymous]

Not sure if the S and SX classes have the same footprint but the frame on my SX is box section ally.
