The right product for me, there were no problems.

The stiffness and quality of the plastic used in this box are vast improvements over their Chinese counterparts. It's more easy to use a flat box and put one pyramid of two or three boxes in the closet than to stack luggage with a puncher, drill, screwdriver, grinder, and jigsaw, so I'm considering buying another one or two of these for electric tools. If I can find a good deal on files, drills, and dowels, I can even store them in individual compartments.

Pros

A versatile container that can be carried in a variety of ways, such as a basket or on one's shoulder. A huge box can be constructed from multiple smaller ones. There is a mount for the Bosch system's little cells inside, but since they're so expensive (about $500 each), I've been keeping my compressor's hoses in a box instead.

Cons

The 1mm plastic is sturdy despite its thinness. Rigidity is provided by the box's many spatial ribs, but with a heavy load ("with a slide"), the box distorts and the red latches on the lid become difficult to close.
