New tool box, guaranteed to last through anything I put it through. Its been through a war!!
This is an old ammo box which carried 40 boxes of 75mm ammo for an M20, just the right size for all my tools!
Can you even say you dont want one? Absolutely love this.

They definitely make good tool boxes. I work on a drilling rig and we have a couple of these for all our important hydraulic fittings; they easily stand up to the abuse and general carelessness of some employees. Theres a place just down from me in Nambour that stocks a lot of old army gear, including an abundance of old ammo boxes. Reliable and a good source of history

Thumbs UP!! Stoked I found this. Just needs a handle - would love to have an original handle instead of the makeshift leather belt handle i just put on it haha

Good strong box! Are you going to line it so your tool edges don't get knocked around?

I wasn't - but now I'm thinking about it... might get clark rubber to cut me some high density foam and just marine glue it on!

You can also get smaller ones that have a handle and a place to padlock, and are also water proof!
Depends on how many tools you have but love the idea.
