New tools
K2-K6:
Along with my son, we use different items and look at quite a few boxes etc.
Those Magnusson boxes are pretty substantial and resilient, there was all manufacturers at two different local trade shows for us to compare recently.
One at Kempton Park (organised by a a substantial local tool shop) many manufacturers bring whole range there to compare.
Another at Sandown Park, with different building trade focus also good.
I'd have confidence in most of them with the robustness clearly and substantially stepped up in recent years of manufacturing from each of the competitors.

Is that the Kempton Park Autojumble Nigel? I've never seen anyone their selling storage boxes it if anyone does I'd be interested as the existing boxes I bought as part of my racking package from Big Doug have all disintegrated, they seem to get more brittle over time and shatter.
K2-K6:
No, not the auto jumble but a individual tool trade show Dave.
Its organised by D+D tool shop of Twickenham, and supported by all the manufacturers that trade through them, plus other individual suppliers. My son picks it up on "faceace" I think. Even drove me over there this year (I did help fix his car though :) ) it is is more build trade focused, but also with tools into automotive etc. Nit sure of frequency, whether annually or more.
Also two in last month at Sandown Park a similar arrangement. Build trades three weeks ago, and Mechanex (automotive trade mag I pick up at motor factor i use) specifically motor trades focus.
All no cost entry, even had a free bacon butty + T-shirt at Sandown :)
I don't know which form box you need, but Linbin was always very good in industrial stuff in the past https://www.richardsonsuk.co.uk/linbin-containers/c147 for garage fitout etc.
Laverda Dave:
Thanks Nigel, I'll look out for the next event at Kempton Park👍.
neat street:
D&M Tools in Twickenham, and their show is always in October. As stated, parking and entry is free and is a great show to visit.
