My New Toolbox

After a long and hard decision, I have now upgraded my toolbox. I wanted one with plenty of segregated sections and draws with seperate sections. Without going to America and getting the perfect toolbox I had to make do with what I could get in Australia. Most of the toolboxes that had wheels had mostly large compartments without dividers and no small compartments. As most modeling tools are small I needed one with lots of divided compartments for my small tools.

I thought about getting a large box and using small boxes with separate compartments, but it was going to be to expensive and not what I wanted. I finally found one that was almost perfect but didn't have as many separate compartments as I would have liked. I compromised and thought that a few extra boxes with separate compartments wouldn't be so bad.


This toolbox has some separate compartments on top with a large compartment below, a medium sized draw and a larger draw on the bottom. The only problem with this toolbox is that it needs some separate compartments in the medium draw to allow tools to be organised a bit better.


The medium draw is large enough to allow a small jar to stand up in and the large draw is large enough to allow a large to stand up in. This toolbox is large enough for all my tools, even my larger tools (300mm clamp). This toolbox allows for longer tools or rulers to be stored behind the compartments held in with an elastic strap. It is handy as it frees up space in the draws and allows for larger tools to be stored. I will be adding some small compartments to the draws to organise my tools better.





I can recommend this toolbox for modelers as it keeps all tools in one place when not needed and allows them to be taken with you when building at other places. Ever since I started modeling I have used toolboxes starting from small to the largest without wheels, but now I have more tools I need one with more space to keep all my tools organised.

It also allows for more boxes to be stacked on top and strapped down to allow more tools or even paints to be stored together. This toolbox allows me to gain more tools and even bigger tools or equipment (dremil) to be stored away for easy access.
