I am doing some garage cleaning and I just tossed out all those huge
bloated tool cases that power tools come in. For example, I have an
18v battery reciprocating saw. The saw itself only requires a few
inches of space on my shelf, but the huge ugly case takes up half the
shelf. I can fit all my power tools in one cabinet, but all those
cases take up a whole shelf on the wall. Am I the only person that
hates those cases and tosses them in the garbage, or does everyone
find them annoying? I'm just curious.

It seems these companies make those molded plastic boxes as large as
they can, yet the tool itself has to fit into a tiny place inside the
case and that usually means the battery and blade has to be removed to
allow it to fit. Then the rest of the case is just wasted space, and
they dont even allow a space to put blades and such because they fly
all over the case and fall out when opening it. My garage is too
small as it is, and I surely dont have the space to waste on those
things.

I'm just curious what others do with them?

I keep mine because the cases protect all of
the tools and accessories when I load them on the
truck to go to a job. The way people drive these days
tools and equipment can bounce around when one
has to engage in collision avoidance maneuvers.

yes i agree and it stops dust and dirt getting in the motor
protects your tools and best of all people cant see what you have
and dont ask to borrow the tool.
