I'm in need of desprete help. My van was broken into last night and my tool box was stolen together with other bits and pieces.

The tool box in question is the one that BG engineers use. (blue one)
Does anyone know where I could buy one.

I've looked over the internet and no luck or if anyone has one for sale new or old please let me know.

Regards

Andy.
 
Sorry I do not know where to get a tool box, but this has reminded me of what I have done in the past for an alarm


It takes a bit of sparky work to do but it works well

1) 12v 120 dB klaxon
1) key switch (removable key type)
1) latching relay with a 30 second delay
1) or more door switches, make on opening

From the vehicles battery, run to the key switch, then to the door switch/s, then to the relay, then to the klaxon, I think that is how I did it the last time, the 30 second delay is to give you time to open the door and turn off the alarm
Run all the wiring in conduit so that the bug ers canot rip the wires out and stop the alarm
120 dB up close is a hurting sound

brilliant, be better if the nannyh state allowed us to electrocute them but your idea sounds fine,
to the OP the clue is in the question, get a BG toolbox from a BG engineer or get into a BG store and ask if they would advise where they get them from, what is so special about them?

Can see were rodders is coming from,your tool bag/box is like part of your arm and important to have what suits you :)
Have had my tools stolen a few times,takes ages to replace everything,the main tools you can do,shock how the cost mounts up but its the little bits and pieces that you miss

I think he means something like this. This one is a cheap version in comparison, not the same.
 
Thank you for your replies guys.

I've manage to get one from a BG engineer.

Just need to fill it up with tools. So far spent ÂŁ200 and still have got what i had before.

hey is it this 1 Google Image Result for http://www.tramikisupplies.co.uk/ekmps/shops/tramikisupplies/images/raaco-open-toolbox-as-used-by-british-gas-engineers-carpenters-electricians-etc-ean-121293-465-p.jpg
 
see you got one in the end well done any chance of a picture?.:) curious to see .regards turnpin
 
Wow that brings back memories from my British Gas days, Happy Days Lol
 
For me is really sturdy and heavy duty. I'm roughly 13 stone of pure muscle and no fat, (not) and it's been really good to me. Also i've used it to support cast iron boilers when coming of the wall and the box hasn't dented or broken.

I've used others in the market and so far I'll stick with this one. I hope this helps

Thanks To JGAS for providing the web page where the toolbox can be purchased.

Stanley Magnum toolbox.jpg

I use a Stanley Magnum toolbox (Bout ÂŁ24 from B&Q) Still only on my 2nd one in 10 years. Big heavy bugger but carries all my plumbing gear an use it for a step, bench and even rested a 150kg rsj on it while I welded lugs on it! Drawers in the front for all the washers, plus, screws and a few fittings...... Fantastic!
 
These are pretty sturdy too - Not sure, but I think the link I posted are the actual ones they use????:cool:

They are great boxes. Very sturdy and not too heavy. Easily hold my 15st of beef.
Handy for standing on to reach that flue test point that is just out of reach, or sitting on to fill out your paperwork.
