I have been meaning to get a new tool box for a while now and fancied one of these but didnt like the price tag. So I was uprised to see them in Clas Ohlson with about 20% off. I was asking about them when I was told they only had that one (display model) left....I was about to walk away when they said I could have it with another 10% off....Result. Seems quite well made and as long as I resist the temptation to overload it, I think it will last a while.

Like any other toolbox if you were to get silly with weight it would break but so far I am impressed. Time will tell though.

And if all else fails you can get a job as a flight attendant with it

does the top section detach?? Be nice if it did so you didn't have to take the whole thing out the van if you didn't need to

Yup , nice and handy.

looks good,ive had a few like that,but found after a while i did start to over fill,it could take the weight no probs,but then you ended up taking so much out just to find a tool at the bottom etc. these days i use open tool holders for hand tools and stack lid boxes for power tools and other stuff all with the aid of a folding sack truck/trolly.find they stack in the van much better.

I've still hot the older version of that in my store that I've had for around five years. Still in one piece, but stopped using it few years ago.

i was given one of those off my cousin f.o.c it's in my garage at the moment as i haven't got round to swapping over. i should do as my box weighs a bloody ton to lump around

looks like a great piece of kit. would definitely fit my hairdryer, nail polishes and make up kits in it

quick respray Mike, job done

Very good looking box, I need one myself. Using a tote at minute and sick of wrestling with it to get something out.

I think the choice of tool bag/box is quite a personal thing that has to fit the way you work, where you work, your trade/s, your transport....
That tool box would never suit me but I can see how it would be great for some people. I find multiple open tote bags suits me best

I have had a couple of the plastic ones of them and they lasted really well, ZIGZAG ones. I see you are living up to your tool hound label neale!

Indeed as some have said, its a personal choice. I have tried almost everything from buckets to cantilever, tool bags and totes. My last box was one of these or very similar but after about 4 years the handle fell off, so time to try something else.

That's the exact same one as mine

The missus got me it Christmas just gone, so should still have 3 and half years left then

I have the fat max open tote, its great for 'normal' tools but not good for tiling stuff. I keep mine in a plastic box on a shelf in the van but then i never have to use mine everyday.

me too....

looks like a nice bit of kit you got and a good deal to boot!

oh i like a good deal

I recently got a couple of good toolboxes made by stanley. 36 inches long with a remeovable inner top tray and very strong with metal catches. Good thing about them is that they are 12 inches high and have a treaded top so are great for standing on to reach the top rowof tiles. Having two means I can just put a batton between tham to do a wall!! They were in B&Q for £40 each but were on offer at 50% off...bargain.

Yeah I saw those and was thinking of getting 3 but changed my mind.
