Dewalt tough system series 1's are super cheap on ebay .They can really be played around with to offer great storage .MY festool boxes are just TOO flimsy as they are not designed for site work .

At that price NO

When you follow your link there are other sellers selling the same item nearly £30 cheaper and even at that price it's too expensive for a plastic toolbox

Need to work on your marketing to get that sort of money - it's patina and character, not rust.

Must be full of tools too, to command that sort of price!

For that sort of money I think you could do a lot better – that’s getting on for veto or velocity territory.
Raaco make some handy little parts cabinets, but I'd not call them particularly sturdy.

Perhaps it is also worth looking at some of the Milwaukee packout, Dewalt or Toughbult offerings too.

I keep eyeing up the beehive bags, I don't need one but they look good. Still not pulled the trigger on a wheeled system yet. Trying to see if anyone would make a conversion plate to allow DeWalt to mate with Milwaukee and vice versa. I know Milwaukee do floor plates but I've not had time to sit one on the other and see what conversions would be needed (drill holes in the DeWalt box and secure plate with screws, washers and nuts

For big site work etc i can see big wheeled systems to be good news. But for private work they are just too big and heavy .I know at least 3 guys who never ever use the actual trolly case . They just carry the other 2 !

I was thinking that too. (See my thread in off topic area !)

I just saw them and thought I would ask. They are expensive for what they are. Even this is 35£

I just thought about one as a small bag/box as I don’t like open tote bags.

 

[nicebutdim]

Use whatever box/bag you have until it falls apart. By then you'll know exactly what sort of bag or box is best suited to your work.
