Thread: Maxim Toolboxes

Pat where did you find the prices

Jim, it seems that they sell on epay

They have good feedback, but I like to hear from people that actually have seen them in the flesh.

Hi All,
I may be wrong here, but I thought I saw similar type of Tool Boxes at Super Cheap.
I know I walked past them rather quickly, when I saw their prices, to which I can't remember now, but they were rather dear, if memory serves me.

Our local Bunnings have a tool box that is nearly 2 metres long and 1.8 high with stereo radio, Fridge and other Goodies.

Grumpy is in love.

Well I am going to find out how good a build is. I have ordered the wall cabinet for a look.

Got the cabinet today, It was sent yesterday, as they were on holidays until yesterday, so fair enough.

It arrived flat packed, but with clear, simple instructions that anyone, but me, could follow

Once I sorted out my mistakes, I don't know my left from my right & Back to front it took 1/2 hour to put it together. Once put together it is as solid as my Kincrome Wall Cabinet, but deeper, it's got room for the Kincrome socket set, unlike the Kincrome Wall Cabinet. I have to sort out were I am to put it and get the visiting step son to mount it.

Now to save for the 42" combo pack . . .

Well where is it surely you can still hold a screw driver and spanner to assemble it.

Ray, it's assembled, but I have changed my mind twice so far this morning on were I will hang it or get it hung, due to my #$%^^$%#%$%#$ shoulder. Pics will follow . . . MBGitW has taken the good (her) camera to shoot Wallygong Harbour with the son . . . I'll see them home in time for tea.

Look forward to seeing Deb's photo's of harbour.

Well I finally remembered to ask Deb, to take the pics

Pics 1 & 2 are of the Maxim, it's size is 710*710*310 and Pics 3 & 4 are of the Kincrome version 820*610*200.

The Maxim attaches to the wall with 2 French Cleats, whilst the Kincrome is just screwed into the wall and frame with 5*m6 screws. The Maxim was the easier of the 2 to install, as it came with a full size plan for installing the cleats, even down to having cross hairs in the screw holes, so even someone as inept as I am could get it straight and level

The price difference is minimal, Kincrome was $129 at the local Bunnies and Maxim was $135 on Ebay, free postage, with a 2 day turn around.

Nice Pat shoulder must be better now or painkillers by the bucket load.

So, has anyone bought one of the Maxim toolboxes other than the wall mount cupboard Pat bought?

If so, what's your opinion?

Pat

so what do you really think?

As no one was able to answer my question about Maxim toolboxes (other than the wall cupboard Pat bought), I went out there today and had a look for myself.

The proprietor Shane was very helpful and let me take one for a spin, so to speak. Build quality and finish is excellent. Very solid construction. Available in red, blue and black.
I ended up buying a few bits and pieces.
I'll unpack them tomorrow and set them up (in the van) so I can start transferring tools into them. I'll be able to get rid of lots of plastic and cardboard boxes that are currently cluttering up the kitchen table (and floor)
