    Default Need a new toolbox

    I used to have a cheap plastic toolbox that did the job for a while and then the plastic latches broke off. I then upgraded to a sheetmetal cantilever opening toolbox which still works ok but is too small for all the tools I have. What do you reckon is a good strong tool box that is portable and will fit all the main tools eg handsaw, long pipe wrench?

    K-mart are flogging some checkerplate toolboxes that are all metal - watch out for the ones that are thin aluminium & plastic. These are the 'truck' type, with no internal partitions, but can be locked with your own padlock & should stop your tools from growing legs. If you get the larger size your current toolbox should fit inside & the extra large tools can live in the bottom or side with a DIY divider.

    If the K-mart jobs are too small or flimsy for you, then you'll need to go to one of the places that make 'truck boxes' out of 3mm+ aluminium checkerplate & either get a custom made unit of adapt one of their off-the-shelf models.
