Is this toolbox any good? Any comments?
I'm looking for a biggish, fairly mobile, toolbox and this caught my
eye:- http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/endecaSea...sp?SKU=SG32797 Does anyone here have one like this or similar? Any comments? I already have a 'trolley toolbox' with wheels a bit like this but my current one has trays so you have to take the top ones out to get at tools at the bottom. The one above seems as if it overcomes this problem to some extent. -- Chris Green |

I've seen a lot of plastic ones and they all appeared flimsey & had dodgy telescopic handles. I don't need mine now I have the van, if you are interested. -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |

A long string of LED lighting attached to the toolbox, floated down the Medway, out into the Thames until it reaches the Essex bank. With power applied, shipping could be warned as well.

My current one (plastic) is strong enough, just not quite as practical as I would like. Did you find that yours worked well for you? I think it might cost rather a lot to get your Rolling Workshop to me in Essex, but thanks for the offer. Except that I live in Suffolk - why on earth did I say Essex? -- Chris Green |

When they get even a little bit worn (or dirty or damp or when the moon's in the last quarter or something) those top 2 trays become b*ggers to slide in and out. They particularly don't like to close that last cm -- which is the bit which latches them shut. Which means that, when you unclip and take off the toolbox part, the trays will slide open on the own -- naturally, as smooth as silk! -- and dump the contents (usually carefully sorted drills, screws, Rawlplugs, washers, etc) onto the garage floor. Happened to me twice. -- -blj- |
