Review on Makita Medium Interlocking Case 197211-7 - 6-1/2" x 15-1/2" x 11-5/8" by Charles Ahmar

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty handy toolboxes.

I love that Makita makes these tool boxes. I love boxes and storage, and ones that are modular, lockable, and stackable are even better. They fit perfectly, having recently dabbled in battery powered tools I needed a place to keep them in my garage. Now that most companies don't make handy carrying cases for their tools, I'm hoping this makes up for it. The boxes are quite sturdy, could use some thicker and stronger plastic if I'm picky. But they work well enough. I have all sizes from XL to S. The clasps are ok, a little tight and you have to latch them properly or they won't close. I'm not sure how strong they are if all the boxes are actually stacked and locked together when you're going to transport them. But they are strong enough not to wobble. I love that they make multiple sizes that fit all my tools, at least for me. Size XL is big enough for my circular saw, planer and router. Other sizes are also fine for the rest of my non-Makita tools, but I don't think the boxes will make a difference. I also want to make some individual containers that fit inside. You know how they say everything has its place and everything has its place. Overall a good product, the plastic could have been thicker and maybe a different type of locks but overall quite good.

Pros
  • Flat round handle for user comfort
Cons
  • Clarity
