Whether for home improvement, hobby projects, or simply making minor repairs, there’s not much you can accomplish without tools. And the more tools you accumulate, the more pressing the question: What’s the best way to store, organize, and transport your tools? For generations and to this day, the answer has always been a well-made tool box. This style of toolbox could be suitable for a specialist to arrange his/her gear according to the function and size. There is even a wide handle in the toolbox to hold it conveniently, regardless of weight. Below are some of the typical features in a toolbox with the cantilever design. Large metal boxes full of tools and hardware get heavy. If you typically need just a few tools for your various DIY projects but have an extensive collection of tools, keep a small organizer box on hand that you can fill with just the tools required for that project; it will be much lighter so you can lift and move it easily. A polyester tool bag or tool apron are other options for short-term projects. You may even want to keep a few different kinds of toolboxes: one for the garage or workshop, one for the house, and one for your automobile. One of the most important factors to consider when shopping for the best tool box is size. Most DIYers need a tool box large enough to carry the tools they will use most often. Carpenters, electricians, and plumbers have different needs in tool boxes, which means many different sizes are on the market. Material

Iron or steel tool boxes usually have a heavy structure designed to transport large tools or electrical gear. Such a product has sufficient rigidity to protect its contents from various mechanical influences. Freilich gibt es eine Menge funktionale Werkzeugboxen, die auch günstiger und, weil aus Kunststoff, etwas leichter sind als dieser klassische Metallkasten. Aber bei diesem Werkzeugkasten geht es eben auch um Design und Ästhetik. Und das Modell von Trusco (gefertigt vom bekannten japanischen Metallwarenhersteller Toyo) bringt nun beides zusammen: Design und Funktion. Es passt alles rein was man als Werkzeugsortiment als griffbereite Kiste im Haushalt braucht (Hammer, Zangen, Schraubendreher, -Schlüssel, Wasserwaage, ...) und bietet zudem durch die variabel abtrennbaren Fächer in der oberen Etage reichlich Möglichkeiten Kleinkram (Nägel, Schrauben, Dübel, Klemmen,...) unterzubringen. Die Verarbeitung ist makellos und die Scharniermechanik funktioniert auch wunderbar. Die oberen Fächer lassen sich auch so zur Seite klappen dass das untere Fach praktisch vollständig (und eben nicht überlappend) freigegeben wird.

A cantilever toolbox is used for professional technicians, who at the same time require storage space and portability. These storage units are made of plastic or metal and have a solid structure. Typically, such toolboxes have a sliding lid that opens a few foldable compartments.

When buying a toolbox, be sure to consider what size will fit your needs best. If you have only a few hand tools but want to keep them organized and protected, then consider purchasing either a small or medium-sized toolbox. However, if you need something larger to hold power tools like reciprocating saws or drills, consider buying a rolling chest on wheels instead of a stationary box. This way, you can easily move it around as needed.” We love a toolbox in the Tinker and Fix house. All sizes, all colours. We use them for everything from storing tools, to keep art supplies together. Rolling tool boxes help take the load off—literally. Instead of lugging a heavy tool box around, simply push a rolling unit where it needs to go. There’s only one thing that’s a bit more complex about the Japanese tool boxes and that’s their names and brands. So, let’s simplify it for you... The most popular tool storage units are made of aluminum. This metal is strong and durable. It is most often used in the manufacture of boxes due to lightness.Whilst Toyo make and sell their own colours and all sizes of steel toolbox, they also, at the same time, make toolboxes for many other companies.
