Road Cases

You have bought all the tools that you need for your vehicle but where will you keep them? Don’t worry – choosing a case is just as much fun as choosing the tools themselves and if you look carefully you will find the perfect road case for your tools. Here is what you should take into account:
•    Space should be your first consideration. You want to choose a case that will fit in the trunk of your car or van. Measure the dimensions both vertical and horizontal before you go shopping. Remember you cannot buy a very high case as it will block your rear view mirror.
•    If you have power tools you should choose a case that has drawers that are deep enough to hold them. If you have shallow tools and other bits the drawers should be shallow. Make sure that they open easily enough. The best drawers have ball bearings and the more ball bearings the better as it makes it easier to slide drawers in and out. It is best to buy a road case that has lockable drawers for additional safety.
•    Buy a road case that has gas struts to hold up the lid when the case is open.
•    The best road cases are made of high steel gauge with reinforced edges – they last a long time, in fact sometimes a lifetime.
•    If you are buying a large road chest make sure that it comes with removable casters. It makes it easy to move on the ground. Make sure that the casters can take the weight of your tools.
