Favourite toolbox to look at is the Studley Toolbox. A work of art.

Current toolbox was build by a cabinet maker, has a few drawers and some more open storage. Other hidden or extra add ons. Really good size for a workbench, if the toolbox wasn't also on top of that.

Otherwise due to work have always have toolbags, current being a custom Beehive Vinyl which they don't seem to do anymore due to other orders.

That's dam nice .
I'm jealous !!
Would love one , ( not sure where it would live = take up space ) , but some home reno tools , Living in cupboards would certainly go in so parts living under the Lancia go there . OH some tools under Lancia could also go in .
My tool boxes are a couple of ammo cases =( from youngest brother when he was in the army reserve ) and 3 my tool boxs I made, one I made as a 1st year apprentice 42 years ago, still have, 2nd my toolbox I used until I finished at Qantas in 2006 and the roll around cabinet I made for the garage, I made in the 90s = did only cost me materials and time , used tooling at Qantas and TAFE ( did welding TIG & OXY and vehicle panel hand forming skills courses part time , got on real well with the Head teacher so no problems = come in and use power guillotine and folders , borrowed a spot welder from work for alot of the welding ,but some of is pop riveted .
It was a balancing act = what can I get away with after work !!

Look. It’s completely normal for it to happen. A bit of wee came out when I watched this.
