Tool Box on Wheels

[RDB85]

I’m looking to split my tools up. I have a backpack at the moment but I’m wanting to put stuff that I don’t use all the time in a tool bag or tool chest on wheels. Any recommendations?

Ive got Dewalt tools. I know they do something similar. They are quite expensive too being on an apprentice wage they are a lot.

I've got Packout, bought from Screwfix on Deal of the Day for £200.

You could look at Trend, £130

It all depends on what treatment you are going to give it.

Pack Out for me also got one from Screwfix for £200 they have come up on offer ever six months or so. Can also be mounted to racking. But it's expensive.

I’ve seen the large Stanley Tool Chests but I’m sure the plastic on those is quite brittle. Too bad I can’t find a metal one as the Packout style ones are out of my budget.

I’ve seen these:

Maybe, until budget permits a van-racking compatible systainer-type system, and while you find out in practice what you want to wheel about, and how to organise it, see if you can pick up some small/medium flight cases on eBay and strap them to a sack truck?

I know a couple older sparks did exactly that, flight cases stacked 2 or 3 high on a sack barrow and elastic cords holding it all on

Dewalt tstak system is good. As you can add to it

Just out of budget. I will have to wait until they come on offer at Screwfix.

 

[casperLennon]

I’ve had one for a while now. And could easily justify another one cause I just keep adding to it

 

[casperLennon]

I have a few more boxes as well

I see that and think “TIMBER!”

 

[casperLennon]

Yes it’s very top heavy like that. I just take in what I need for that day. Although I’ve just bought a fluke backpack a couple of weeks ago and I’m very glad I did

What are those TSTAK trolleys like? As I’ve got a Dewalt kit but was thinking of maybe a trolley and one of their large boxes. As the Toughsystem 2 is over £200.

 

[casperLennon]

Surprisingly sturdy. I’ve had mine a while now and it’s been up and down stairs and all over building sites and still going. I was a bit dubious about the wheels because they are plastic but they haven’t broken, yet

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?
