Plastic tool box

Start with size and capacity to match your tool load, then check closure quality and transport options. For heavier on-site use, the 19‑inch deep deep toolbox (TPBXS103) offers a 25kg load capacity and is designed to stack with other boxes, making multi-box setups efficient. If you mostly need lighter, portable storage, opt for 14 to 17 inch models like TPBX0142 (14 inch with a metal lock) or the 17‑inch variants for quick access. For mobility, consider the wheel-equipped trolley (THTWB61001) to move tools with ease.

Durability hinges on the construction material and closure system. Many models use rigid PP plastic with strong latches to secure tools, such as the 19‑inch deep toolbox that specifies sturdy PP latches for reliable closure. Some units, like the 14‑inch box, employ a metal latch for added security. The ability to tolerate rough handling, combined with secure closures, keeps tools protected during transport and storage, especially when stacked or moved with a trolley.

Choose by usage context: for a workshop or construction site, opt for larger, stackable, high-capacity boxes like the 19‑inch TPBXS103 or TPBXS102, which handle multiple tools and are compatible with rolling boards. For domestic garages or light-duty tasks, smaller 14–17 inch boxes (such as TPBX0142 or 17‑inch TOTAL Tool Box variants) offer quick access and easier portability while keeping tools organized.

Keep interiors clean and dry after use to prevent rust or corrosion on metal components. Regularly inspect latches and hinges; clean any dirt from the closure mechanisms to prevent sticking. When pairing with other solutions, stick to models designed for stacking or rolling integration, like TPBXS103 and TPBXS102 that align with total rolling boards, ensuring compatible dimensions and secure locking across multiple units.

If frequent transport is required, prioritize models designed for easy movement. The TOTAL Plastic Tool Box Trolley with Wheels (THTWB61001) features built-in wheels and a telescopic handle for smooth rolling between locations. For simpler carry, the 17‑inch and 19‑inch boxes offer ergonomic handles and secure closures, while some lids and latches are designed to resist jostling during transit, ensuring tools stay secure during short trips or longer haul.

Yes. Most options use durable PP plastic for robust, impact-resistant storage, with some boxes featuring metal locks for added security. Finishes range from solid green to multi-color shells, while interior space varies to accommodate hand tools, power tools, and accessories. The combination of PP plastic bodies and metal vs plastic latches provides a balance between light weight, security, and resilience suitable for workshops, garages, and job sites.
