Improved tool organisation and storage has been a shop goal for 2012. After debating various options I opted for the 101kg of kinchrome contour tool chest/trolley. The appeal of the unit was it has significant drawer space with a relatively small footprint. The case is sturdy, the drawers bearing mounted, and wheels allow mobility. I had a hands on look at the toolbox at the Sydney Wood Show and ordered it online from Just Tools in Melbourne.
Previously I was relying on a system of shelving and 6-7 small tool boxes, with most most important tools in this small supatool chest and stanley travel toolbox.
The top section is the largest area and fits a no 7 bailey plane. 574mm x 460mm x 110mm.
Unlike most tool chest the drawers are deep.160mm x 395mm x 40mm .
Tools can be nicely organised on the 540mm x 395mm x 40mm main drawers.
Eventually I'll install a set of wooden layout dividers to contain the tools.
It won't fit a panel saw but 14" tenon saws fit like a treat.
So far pretty pleased with it... Now to clean up the rest of the shop.

Don't get rid of the other box you'll need it soon enough for other tools. New one looks good Dan I thought you were buying the whole kit draws full of tools etc.
