My toolbox is the one thing that goes everywhere the truck does I,m afraid....and I used to cop heaps from SWMBO..until one day it was needed...and came to the rescue big time.
Now this toolbox is one heavy muther (about 20 kilos...give or take a few)...but it has everything in it that I might need...and indeed have needed over the years.
Was given to me about the mid 80s by my ex...(About the only good thing she did give me in retrospect...apart from 2 sons..but I digress)..and carries all my normal
tools except a multimeter and tension wrench (wrapped separately and stuffed under back
seat)...including the aforementioned Minimax spanners from an earlier post.
This box has helped all n sundry out over the years...but is a bloody heavy box to git in and out of truck. But in reality I dont mind a bit coz in that old box is sumthin ...somewhere that I need to fix sunfink!
Oh..it is a ROTA brand one ...with4 cantilever drawers...a big bottom bin and 2 foldover lids that are lockable. The tray pivots have been replaced numerous times...it has riddon on footplates of tractors and headers...done squillions of k,s in toolboxes of assorted semis..and still backs up as my workshop and travelling kit.
Doesnt matter what sort of
tools and container yu have...just make sure that you know what to do with them...and look after them.
Cheers Keith
