Hi folk,

I need to sort my shed out and part of the issue is that tools I use infrequently are in battered old plastic boxes (pound stretcher loft storage type things).

I've not looked hard but I have the dewalt black stacker thing in my mind. Is there anything cheaper or better?

I have something similar to this - Has a slide out handle on side so you can lift it and move box around on wheels--Takes most of my electric tools that I don't use often. 2x sanders -2x electric saws- Angle grinder and other bits that will fit in --It then lives under a bench

Got it from B&Q or Homebase for lot less than this one.

Top man, that may be the ticket for the bottom shelf. Such a nightmare getting stuff in and out!
 
Seems prices have shot up since I bought mine -It is similar size (77cm l/50cm h/42cm w) to this with a tool tray on top as well. Total about 72 ltrs
Mine stick's out a bit from under bench as there is a cross bracing between two rear legs of bench but it's not a problem

PS sorry about long link :o

ive got the dewalt one with the three boxes all nicely stacked just for my battery tools. it great except........every time you want a particular tool its always in the bottom box....pain really i picked mine up from screwfix a few months ago they had a deal on and the main boxes were 20 odd pounds each. tbh i bought the trolley from aldi or lidl for 17.95 works just as well.
 
Personally I'd not be paying these huge premiums just because it black n yellow/orange with branding on.

Just grab whatever Really useful boxes fit your garage shelving (was 65l for me)
 
The "Really Useful Boxes" brand are good - but the largest ones are not as strong (well at least the ones I have).

Best think I did for storage was to put racking along one wall of the shed, then I could use a lot of smaller really useful boxes (and don't have the issue that what I want is in the bottom box of a stack of boxes).

Plastic tea crate boxes are great as well - really tough and stackable.

Could be the shed environment or possibly mine aren't brand name.

So a knockoff then haha :p
Ive had about 14 of them sat in the garage on shelves n had no bother with them.

Got a few of them up in the loft as well as theyre just the right size to span the rafters haha

Just dont boot a football off them if you leave then in the snow haha

These storage boxes from Wickes are really good, I'm using them to move house at the moment.

They're even black and yellow.

Winner

Decent price and seem sturdy. Ended up with a full set and delighted that the two biggest stack perfectly. Thank you!
