Storage boxes for tools

[Jupiter01]

I have a section of the shed that isn’t easily accessible and I want to put storage boxes in here, that I can drag out when required.

The space is 1metre deep, 69cm wide and I’m looking for something around 30cm tall. It could be two boxes.

I can find general purpose boxes but concerned they may crack with the weight of tools, etc. do you recommend something strong enough for this?

Thanks in advance.

Look at really useful boxes - many sizes and stand up to some abuse

Smaller ones are good for heavy tools, as they don't hold so much they are unmanageable.

Reslly Useful are expensive, but stronger than most.

Lightweight stores can go in supermarket crates. I'd say, get the ones with a tight sealing lid to keep out damp, dirt and insects.

Keep them undercover as the plastic degrades in sunlight

I used these for circular saws and drills, etc.

All sorts of sizes available and will take the knocks.
Look out for second hand ones going cheap online if you don't want new ones

I don't like the folding lids, because dirt can get in, and rain if outside.
