Peli stuff is really good as you no doubt know. But can be very heavy even before you put stuff in it.

Admittedly you can probably drive a tank over it, so if you're into re-wiring military bases it will be spot on?
Indeed. It's commonly used in the touring world, and by me in fact.
 
Thinking about it, my MFT is in a Peli, too
 
on offer. pak out £155.99 inc. vat. or £199.99.

i have a stanley jobby, but it's the metal one. the plastic ones are rubbish.
 
I have seen that but I don’t have £200 unfortunately.
my solution for that is give up the beer for 10 days. (10 x 20 =200 Q.E.D.)

on reflection, bad idea. I'd be grumpy as a Scouse copper who missed an arrest. get the Mrs. to carry your tools.

Can you still buy the Metal one Tel? As I’ve seen reviews on the plastic ones just falling to bits.
 

think mine was £100 about 20 years ago.
That looks ideal, basically what I’m looking for. But I don’t know whether to save for the tough stack 2.0 system from Dewalt as usually on offer they are £149. Is the metal actual metal or plastic disguised as metal.

Ive found it here:

 
This is the one that is sometimes on offer at Screwfix:

I am still considering the one Tel mentioned as it looks ideal. I have the Dewalt TStak currently for my drills etc, so I have considered that but one of the lads has this trolley:

He has said that it's not too bad, but would be slightly better with bigger wheels on the back, as the casters are not so great.

This one looks okay:


But I don't want to overload it and would like to keep the power tools and hand tools separate.

Stanley metal/plastic job £93 from B&Q, but most reviews mention wheels falling off.

Stanley Fatmax box you linked is currently £131 from ITS and seems to get fairly decent reviews.

I’ve seen that one in ITS. I’m just not sure as I would want to see it in person. If it is metal and solid then that’s not a problem. I don’t want to spend that and it arrives and it’s no good.
 
The castors aren’t the best but it’s so much easier to pull or push when it’s tipped onto the back wheels. I would highly recommend it. You can put as much or as little as you like on it. Plus you already have tstak stuff.

That's a good point. I may consider it for my drills. It's only to save me having all my stuff in a backpack, I would rather split it up, so I was thinking something on wheels would be great.

I did think of maybe this:

Or possibly: Mac Allister Hard Base Tool Bag with Wheels 18 - https://www.screwflix..com/p/mac-allister-hard-base-tool-bag-with-wheels-18/9844p
 
JCB via B&Q did a system .I have one of their medium cases .Its bloody amazing and well made ,

I will be honest for around £100 for that and one of the tool boxes it looks a great bargain.
