SteveG Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Last year when the hinges on my teng cases started to split... I looked for alternatives as the teng cases are not available on their own. I still wanted portability, and I like the set cases as you know when a tool is missing, misplaced when you’re packing up. So the Solution I went for was to pick up some Bosch tool boxes made by Sortimo and fit some foam inserts from shadow foam... I went for the 136 boxes, about £20-25 on eBay as they can fit two tool trays inside, but they’re available in numerous sizes. I got some ally plate bent up to size too, to hold the top shelf... You then have the laborious task of cutting out the foam with a scalpel, before they were ready... They are designed to stack on top of each other clipping in securely, and you can get some clips to secure the the first box to a shelf, floor etc. Sortimo does a bunch of other accessories, tray insert and boxes etc. although they’re quite pricey when buying them from Sortimo... https://www.sortimo.co.uk/shop/en_UK/BOXXes-%26-Cases/L-BOXX-family/c/47834?q=:tsa Theyve worked out well, very sturdy, stack well and as intended very portable. The only downside is if a tool breaks and you can’t get a like for like replacement your screwed unless you get out the scalpel again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianmayco68 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 That’s a very good idea . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roamingyak Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 Adding to the mix, I quite like this as its soft and can just be hung off of a couple of hooks for quick access. Downsides are there is nowhere to put smaller items like a 8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 17mm ratchet bits etc: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
