ive just bought a stanley fat max 28 inch box. replaced my old 24 inch (i think) wickes box that got smashed when an acrow prop fell onto it.

quite a well designed box. though it feels as heavy as the box the joiner that tought me had. his was the old fashioned wood type haha

the dewalt zip tops from the usa {with a tote tray inside} ( you used to be able to pick them up on ebay for under a fiver + £9.00 p+p ) I got 3 for the price on one in the uk :thumbright:

For site work i have a steel snap-on toolbox, not massive, but bomb proof.
Its about 40 years old and certainly been well used!
Replacemet would be about £130 :wtf:

The rest of my tools (home and private work) i use 2x 2000series stanley boxes, one with mostly woodworking gear, the other for things like pipe cutters big pliers etc.

I have boxes for most tools, but I have the dewalt 5 kit and the box is the size of a large suitcase and so I am looking for a Decent Dewalt Bag to replace it.

Got a couple of 26" stanley boxes for hand tools and a fat max tote bag for soldering gear.

I like the big Fatmax mobile 3 tier storage box on wheels, saw it in B & Q, a bit too pricey for me though.

You should be happy with it at that price.

I didn't realise that designer tool bags cost almost as much as a designer handbag :lol:
