The 10 Best Toolboxes – Guide

A tool box proves to be very practical. In it, the tools can not only be stored, but also sorted . So you will quickly find what you need when you need it. Depending on your needs, there are empty cases as well as cases filled with tools.

Our checklist and the product recommendations below will help you choose the best tool case for you.

Checklist For Toolboxes

Versions
  • If you already own a variety of tools, then an empty tool case to store your tools in is recommended.
  • Filled tool cases already contain a variety of tools that are designed to meet the needs of electricians, locksmiths and other tradesmen, depending on their intended use.
Material
  • Plastic is a popular and proven material for tool cases today. Mostly it is ABS, a very impact resistant and sturdy plastic. The advantage of tool cases made of plastic is the relatively low weight with high strength.
  • Aluminum is also commonly used in the manufacture of tool cases. Aluminum is lightweight and durable. Tools are stored in these cases in special foam inserts or compartments. The disadvantage is that aluminum can dent.
  • Steel tool cases are usually offered only as empty tool cases. Their space is smaller and the cases are already relatively heavy without contents.
Equipment
  • With already filled tool cases you have no influence on the equipment of the case. The compartments and shelves are specified by the manufacturer.
  • With an empty tool case you should pay attention to which inserts are available and which tools fit in.
  • Optimal are tool cases, where you can adjust the division according to your needs.
Dimensions and Weight
  • For equipped tool cases, the dimensions and weight depend on the tools contained in the tool case. Equipped tool cases have a size of approx. 20 x 20 x 36 cm to 55 x 50 x 30 cm. They weigh between approx. 5 and 13 kg, depending on the type and number of tools.
  • Empty tool cases are also available in different sizes. The classic sheet steel tool case with pull-out compartments, for example, measures about 43 x 20 x 20 cm and weighs about 3.6 kg. Plastic cases are much lighter with an empty weight of 2 to 2.5 kg for the same capacity.
