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

Over the past few months I have been trying to buy a couple of
practical toolboxes for two or three different purposes. I have a big
workshop/garage where many tools (especially car tools for example)
live permanently but there are obvious needs for toting tools around
sometimes and a basic set ready in a box are useful for emergencies
and quick jobs. So, what I'm looking for is one or more toolboxes to
cover the following uses:-

4. An 'up the garden fencing' toolbox, as our 'garden' is 9 acres
it's a bad idea to forget anything important when you go to fix
the fences. This needs to be quite big to take more than one
cordless drill, a supply of big screws, mallet, saw, etc.
It seems to me that this is the crucial problem.
Have you thought about making a sort of wheel barrow to contain the tools
you need for this?
A box on an A frame with two handles and a wheel in front would do the job -
make it as big as you need.
In practice I load stuff into a small trailer, there's too much to
manage in any sort of barrow. If I'm just fixing stuff and don't
need any large bits of wood or anything then I'll use a hand trolley
but for serious fencing with the post 'bonker', several posts, maybe
some rails, etc. then a trailer is necessary.
The toolbox for this is more to keep together the fencing tools and
small items.
