I really like portable tool boxes and have bought quite a variety of them.
I used to think steel was the way to go,
but when the contents are heavy and the case itself is heavy too, that adds up to really heavy.
Nowadays, with PP and PE materials, ribs and thick walls make them sturdy, light, and affordable.
So then… wait, this one? These are the same, aren’t they? That’s what this is about.
I wrote a blog post about it when I bought it before. BETA CP17L
It wasn’t available domestically, so I had to order it from overseas.
This case works really well and doesn’t break even with heavy use.
Plus it has a stainless steel plate on the outside, which looks pretty cool.
Time passed, and I thought about buying the same one again… but right before I did (this was a while back),
I found a box that looked really similar… and it was about half the price.
Trusco, huh? Let me try one. I clicked to order.
TRUSCO (Trusco) Stainless steel tool box L size TSUS-3024L
- Color: Silver
- External dimensions (mm) width × depth × height: 582 × 298 × 255
- Effective internal dimensions (mm) width × depth × height: 543 × 235 × 215
When it arrived, it was exactly the same.
So the strategy is just to change the logo? I thought to myself as I bought several.
I had them all jumbled together, so I decided to organize them properly.
Ring Star Super Club Parts clear L234 × W168 × H49mm 12-compartment
RP-230 One of these fits inside.
Ring Star Super Club Parts clear L234 × W168 × H62mm free type R-240 Three of these fit inside.
Meiho (MEIHO) A4 attaché case clear.
Two of these fit inside.
They fit together perfectly like this. Why not try organizing your motorcycle tools and gear this way too?
