Toolboxes - are there *any* good ones out there?

Exceptionally well made, and reasonably well thought out. Excellent
for handtools, especially sharp-edged tools and measuring tools that
need protection. No room for power tools.
(I first bought the Plano one from Screwfix, and returned it as far
too small

OK, thanks, maybe that's a thought for my 'electrical' toolkit.
I see lots of people with the Stanley rolling contractor boxes:

I think this is exactly the one I have, it just doesn't quite do it
for me, for the reasons I explained before. They are fantastically
cheap for what they are though and I guess that may be why you see a
lot of them about!
My bugbear is power tools coming in much larger boxes than they need
to be. My Skil circular saw - beautifully compact, same for Bosch sds
drill (including a useful bit of storage) - worst is a Bosch power
plane, supplied in a bloody suitcase.
Or, if they do have a big case there's no space in it for actually
useful stuff, e.g. one wants a decent set of drill bits and
screwdriver bits with a cordless driver.
