Versions

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.
