I need a tool box

nightsky224

We need a tool box, bigish in size but have never bought one before any ideas???

All the 'sheds' have them .

But ( me included ) have seen an increase of the use of tool bags , rather than the box.
Those with pockets and straps , make finding the specific tool much easier.
Perhaps a few more details would help??

Sorry I realise I haven't given much info. We just need it for home. We have recently started acumulating various tools etc and would like somewhere to put them. Dont want anything to fancy and dont want to spend a fortune just something sturdy that can live under the stairs.

If its going to 'live; under the stairs
You will be stacking other rubbish above or below . So its a box .
Look at the number of tools, then wander to BQ/homebase/wicks /focus etc and buy a box twice as large.... you will fill it ( we all do)

Don't spend a fortune ( £15 to £20 ) the more expensive ones are for those that transport and can justify the cost. Dont go for gimmicks , wheels etc .

Ended up getting one from homebase £7 and it even had a mini tool box inside as well. Good buy I think.
