This also affects balance, especially when you’ve got your items in the toolbox, so the weight does matter. Smaller toolboxes (50-70L capacity) should weigh around 3-4kg, but larger toolboxes (80L or above) should weigh at least 7-8kg. If you need something a little larger but still lightweight, then this 3-tier STANLEY workshop toolbox is for you. It has 3 separate compartments, the bottom of which is suitable for power tools and heavy use, which is handy for larger jobs. The top compartments are for smaller tools and other items. Big big one, the amount of time that you can save by being able to stand on a toolbox, and the subsequent effort of not having to drag a set of step ladders up a set of stairs is golden. These will almost certainly be the more expensive, and better built models and well worth paying the extra for. If you need a hop up as well, then this will actually save you money because the toolbox combines as one. The handle Nevertheless, for mid range money it’s a reliable toolbox, it just may not be for you if you need to save space or if you have limited/smaller tools to store. The 3-in-1 mobile work centre is a detachable tool box unit consisting of a bottom bin with sturdy 7-inch wheels, a mid-section for small parts, and a top box unit with extra room for small part storage.

Seems like an obvious choice, but the handle matters when it comes to a rolling toolbox. It also links to what you’re using it for, as when you’re doing some DIY a good handle matters, but not as much as when you’re out on the job. It does depend on where you’re taking your toolbox, but it’s important. Needless to say I look after my tools, and in this case, the container holding them 🙂 Best tool box As with the other toolboxes this product has metal latches, a telescopic handle and heavy-duty wheels. This makes it easy to transport and operate, and the large wheels make it easy to balance, especially given its size and weight. The simple pull up latch and ball bearing slides mean that it’s easy to convert into a workstation, so it should be robust enough for your jobs. If you have a workshop, then a stationary toolbox/storage box is always a useful feature. However, most people don’t have one of these, and they’re also quite expensive. Therefore, whether you’re a beginner DIYer or an expert, a portable toolbox is for you.

Whatever you’re using a toolbox for, you need something portable and with wheels for easy transportation. Some portable rolling boxes have different features than others, so it’s important to get what’s right for you.

Look for a toolbox with at least one removable tray. Your chosen toolbox should ideally have lid organisers too, or at least small compartments, as this will help with small accessories (such as nails, drill bits, etc). As well as this, look for a toolbox with large, heavy-duty wheels to ensure easy manoeuvrability. Weight I came to the conclusion the STANLEY FATMAX Pro Rolling Toolbox Chest was the best toolbox for me mainly because it serves as a workbench and a hop up. Ideal for reaching and nine times out of ten saved me bringing up a little step ladder too. Your requirements might be different though and so I have rated these best tool boxes on an unbiased and simple mathematical scale to help you.The product itself it’s a compact, lightweight toolbox that has everything you need. It’s heavy-duty and is made from durable plastic, whilst remaining light and small enough to carry around, measuring at 40 x 34.5 x 64.5 cm and weighing 3.42 kg. It has a 50 L capacity too, so for its price, you can fit a lot into this box. Without a good handle, the transportation of a rolling toolbox can be quite problematic. It can also be a pain on the muscles, especially when you’ve got a lot of items, which no one wants. Portability / manoeuvrability Coming in at fourth place is another STANLEY rolling toolbox chest, but this time it’s the FATMAX version. The primary difference compared to the STANLEY chest in the first place is that this is much bigger and heavier, with a 113L storage capacity and weighing 13.8kg. If you have plenty of power tools you need by your side daily, this toolbox is for you. I get my cordless Makita nails guns in there, my cordless planer, cordless router, my oscillating multi tool, and a few batteries to keep me going no trouble.
