cheers mark seen them on line but no where around here stocks them to look at up close to see quality

A mate of mine has e dewalt XR range which come in one of these. Looks really good quality mate, if I wanted a box I'd get one. They are waterproof as well with a sealed lid and look really tough, definitely the best box I've seen for power tools!

i have my soldering kit in the smaller one, and i have the double sliding drawers in the van for storage.
these are tough as, strong clips, i use mine as a little step, can easily take 14 stone weight.



I'm going to buy more for storage and the trolly too for moving around boilers. (oil)

oooooooooh its got an air pressure release valve, thats sooooooooo useful! and its sealed to keep the dust and water out, which is soooooooooooooooooo clever, only problem is you have to open it to get at those rusty old tools. Muppet land, 4 buckets and an open tote, never fails and cheap as chips.














who's all upset now

I'll admit they are pricy and have a few gimmicks but they are good boxes,
they suit me and are pretty organised.

if you don't mind parting with the coin they are great

years of carting big boxes and all I think of now is what can I bin and is that needed, happy to go to service a boiler with everything in my sleevless waiscoat pockets and a fga bag. Been boiler installing today and got the sack truck out to carry tools and parts, the custard picked up the boiler fm the van, brilliant

Doubt anyone's upset, used to your opinionated tat being sprawled across most of the posts on this site by now, must be all that spare time you've got on your hands after trying to copy plimco plumbings pricing strategy in north Devon. Still, you picked the right user name.

no wonder you can only afford a couple of buckets.

handbags down ladys or i am confiscating lames hairspray wot he started next doors fire with:teeth_smile:

 

[Nostrum]

Sorry, but the OP wasn't asking for an opinion on how to get his tools into the house so why the need to post? He's pretty much trolling in these forums everyday.

i have a couple of these boxes and i think they are very good.

would you recommend the 300 or 400 for an everday tool box

 

[AWheating]

i have the 300 size, it holds my 18v cir, rip saw, impact driver, drill driver and torch with batteries with ease. I dont have the tool tray that comes with it.

it would be to large for me as a main hand tool box that i work out of due to its size. I like to have my hand tools next to me in an open tote bag.

brings to mind the essex girl syndrome, good to look at but doesnt do any work, spends all its time tidying and prepping to go out, an untidy van is often a symptom of working all hours.

Obviously not a real workers van, all them boxes you'd never find anything.

took the mick out of a plastic box not the workers

 

[Plum Bob 66]

I know chicken, doesn't do to get to get to wound up does it. Either way I guess we all do what works for us best. Bloody lovely kit though ;-)

 

[lame plumber]

I prefer nice drills etc by hilti or milwarkee, they earn money for me, pretty boxes only get dirty

 

[Killy Bing]

I have hilti and milwaukee, and pretty boxes! All are filthy.....

 

[AWheating]

i leave my hilti and milwaukee drills at home, prefere my better tools now.

 

[Killy Bing]

Ahh you prefer the dewalt to them?

 

[tamz]

The box mentioned is probably an ok tool box but for 55 quid are you having a laf? It is a plastic box to put tools in. For 55 quid i'd want a bj thrown in.
Another thing. Stackable!? If i stacked my box on top of anything else i'd need a sack barrow to move it.
Padlock eye! Give me a break. A swift kick and the top os off the box with the padlock hanging from one side so a lot of use that is.
It is however good marketing which seems to work given the amount of salivating over it :lol:

 

[AWheating]

Ahh you prefer the dewalt to them?

for a number of reasons i mainly use my new dewalt stuff, performance, price, comfort, etc..... etc.....

i like my milwaukee stuff but its only used for heavy use jobs now, hilti are great for one off tools but offer a poor range of products and batts are too expensive for me.

the good thing is in recent years the competition between power tool companies has been to our benifit, you cant really go wrong with most of the stuff the main companies produce.
