New Tool Box needed

[hillhead]

Hello everyone,
I currently have a big box on wheels with handle etc and mostly use my tool tote which is a pain !
I'm sick of dipping my hand in and hitting saw blades etc.
I need a rough and tough approx 24" heavy duty box with great locking handles like the stanley but with better handles !!
Happy New Year to everyone too

For my tiling tools I use a couple of plastic storage crates. I find trowels struggle to fit in anything with a lid.

I have a rack in the van for holding trowels then throw which ever ones i'm using in the water bucket or something to carry in.
Just a box for all the smaller items i.e screw drivers,chisels,profiler,pencils, chalk line etc.
I don't want to start lugging my big one around again because it fills up quick,lol.

Graham, (plumbers merchant), had an offer on for boxes which were a nice size with good handles. Nice price too at £12+vat so I bought two. Cant complain at the money and far better then the Rolson rubish I had before!

^^^ Nice! Where do I get one?

I like my tools to be organised and not lying in a bucket,lol.
maybe i'm fussy but i don't like losing any tools.
P.S i don't like the colour Dom:lol:

I have a different shelf in my van for different types of tools and take out what I need in a tool carrier, then return it to it's rightful place when I'm finished. I've tried different boxes and methods and find this one works best for me.

 

[hillhead]

Good enough idea Stewart but my van is like a freezer in winter then a shower in the thaw,lol.
Not good for tools sitting out, an insulated tool box would be a god send.lol

I've been looking at toolbox's for a while, at the moment I have my tote bag that carries my smaller kit, then I take in my grinder, trowels, and what ever else needs to be on the job, this can result in 4 trips, just for small hand tools, I was thinking of one of these. Thoughts ???

I thought I'd seen it somewhere, could have been here ??? at £20 I'll have one to try I think, i was thinking trowels and grinder in the bottom, smaller kit such as floats in the middle and scrapers and drivers in the top. And of course, the height makes a nice table for a cuppa lol

The ony issue i have with these kind of boxes is that you tend to overload them, then the boxes break or wheels fall off. A small sack truck ( actually mine is a fishing trolley) with 3 decent tool boxes is my preference at the moment.

Mmmm, must resist the temptation to overload, chances.................................0 lol
