New tool box.. blue and contoured.

I really need to improve my tool storage and organisation. At the moment I have a small tool chest which is over flowing and around 5 other small and irregular shaped boxes hidden around the shop. It's chaos  and it's not good for the tools. 



I asked around a few local tool shops and for a variety of reastons got no where ordering the one I wanted. So yesterday I ordered it over the net from Melbourne, should arrive in about 10 days.


Internal Space
Small - 160mm x 395mm x 40mm x 3
Large - 540mm x 395mm x 40mm x 5
Top Area - 574mm x 460mm x 110mm x 1
Small - 540mm x 395mm x 50mm x 5
Large - 540mm x 395mm x 95mm x 2
Side Tray - 175mm x 300mm x 12mmx 2


I know it seems somewhat backward to purchase this immediately after reading Christopher Schwarz's The Anarchist's Toolchest. But I wanted something that tool minimal time to arrange, take up a small footprint in the shop, and be neat and organised.

  1. Daniel a nice looking toolbox. My first large 9 draw toolbox very similar but so many years ago looks rough in comparison and after years as my main work toolbox a bit rougher. Still I upgraded I won't bore you with details you'll see when you come down. Are you purchasing the cabinet also?
