There's several sellers do that.

Also several that attempt to sell the inlays, I think you'll have a job to get much for them - they'll cost you £3.50 (RM Medium Parcel) to post, and you'll have to find cardboard boxes to ship them in!

What about using "Chequer plate" boxes? they are available in many sizes, some with locks, just an idea :dunno:

When I was installing full time I used to use a Beta mechanics rolling stack. No one else was really doing it at the time and it made a huge difference cutting down trips to the van.

I have quite a few systainers of most types but they always feel flimsy to me although they tend to contain tools which aren't for bashing about.

Now I have lots of Milwaukee packout boxes. Yes they're expensive but it's an awesome system and the ability to fit specific tools into the stack for a particular job is epic

A minor point about Systainers - the footprint of them means that they stack rather well on Eurocrates - reo will fit side by side on a 600 x 400 Eurocrate. Handy if you lug ironmongery, loose tools, etc around in a Eurocrate

Honestly it's been a game changer this week on big site boxes on the sack barrow lashed to the back, gorilla tub ontop with bits in lashed to the back. Broom or levels shoved down the gap at the back. Massive time and back saver. Don't know why I didn't do it sooner.

Think my 40 quid screwfix trolley is just as good as makita. The site is filthy and ground uneven so the pneumatic tyres probably help a lot.
