STANLEY FATMAX Waterproof Toolbox Storage with Heavy Duty Metal Latch, Portable Tote Tray for Tools and Small Parts, 28 inch, 1-93-935

After a prolonged period of faultless service from Amazon I call into question the choice of using a French based third party courier who were wholly lamentable. The first attempt at my delivery failed, the second attempt was late and during this time I apparently had a sex change operation where I went from being John to Emma? Throughout this I was repeatedly lied to as indeed were Amazon even to the point where the corrective phone call I was supposed to receive never actually happened . Right that's got that off my chest now on with the toolbox. It's cavernous at 28 inches in length which is particularly useful for storing larger hand tools such as saws, extended drill bits and claw hammers. The square based design not only provides strength but also assists in being able to store your heavier tools at the bottom as there is very little taper so the actual footprint of the box remains large. I weigh approximately 80kg and I sat on it, stood on it and hopped from foot to foot on it with no issues. I personally like the two thirds length tote box as it allows more flexibility. You can easily store deeper objects like power sanders etc. I have yet to tow it behind a boat on a lake to see if it's waterproof because I've been busy , however I have no doubt that the seal works as effectively as stated. The metal clasps do have a fractional amount of side to side play in them and one of mine needed a little attention with a pair of long nosed pliers but all is fine now. The handle, hinges and general construction all seem to be of a reasonable standard and should last well if not abused . The reason that I have given the five stars is there is nothing better at this price point and at every stage of my problematic delivery Amazon provided excellent customer service and support otherwise I would probably still be waiting now.

Deep and wide to store everything from my saw to selection of hand tools. I like thatbit has a rubber seal around the edge to keep out water although I haven't tested to see if this actually works. Great sturdy latches which can be locked. Lid has a groove to hold and cut items on top including measurements printed. Seems durable and although I think you could sit or stand on top I don't think it's really sturdy enough to take too much weight. Handle seems strong and thick enough to deal with heavier tools. I've managed to pack away the majority of mynmostbuseful and frequent tools and like the organising layer that sits in middle which can be moved. Overall great tool box but not sure great value for money in comparison to other toolbox and providers so loses a start. Otherwise quite pleased just missing a drawer to tuck away loose items.

Ordered this for my partner as his old box broke. Very sturdy box, the clicks are high quality and do not feel flimsy or breakable. Very good size box for tools, fits in car boot or van. Two layers for smaller or larger tools. Very practical.

Make sure you get this on sale - don't pay more than £35 for it, as that is what I would suggest it is worth. I purchased it a few years ago and it has served me pretty well, with me only having to replace it when the catches finally gave up. That is my only gripe with this toolbox – over time, the catches can become harder and harder to close, which can be a bit annoying. But, as far as the actual sturdiness of the box goes, it is pretty good and it’s pretty large. Overall, I would certainly recommend it for under £35 :)

Brilliant toolbox, bought this to hold all my DIY essentials in. When filled up the case is still easy to carry, the strength of the braces closing the lid from the base is very strong making it completely waterproof. There is a seem around the lid to keep the closing of the lid nice and comfortable. There are two levels to store your tools in. Bottom section is most likely devoted to the bigger items and the top level for smaller pieces such as screwdrivers and files. Would recommend this to buyers looking to buy an affordable solution to store there tools in with top quality.

Heavy duty, spacious toolbox. Worth every penny for an air tight water proof toolbox.

This tool box is huge, and will happily store everything I need. The only downside is the latches can be a little stiff and awkward to open and close, but overall a great tool box

I now have four of these boxes (3x 28 inch and 1x 23 inch) and they are very useful for keeping tools year-round in an outbuilding, particularly if silica gel packs are kept inside and periodically replaced or recharged. However, these boxes have a design flaw which loses marks from their score. On the inside front upper edge of the lid there are three small projections spaced out across the central portion of the front edge. As far as I can tell these projections are intended to prevent the front panel deforming and bowing inwards while the metal clasps are being closed. Unfortunately these projections are very fragile and have already broken off on a couple of my the boxes. It is still possible to close the clasps and form a seal, but it's definitely a lot more awkward to do now. A real shame as otherwise these boxes are a great solution to tool storage for those of us without the luxury of a dry, heated indoor den or tool store. I also have to agree with many other reviewers down in the one and two star territory. The latches for these boxes can be a real battle to close. Not always though. Sometimes they just clip right down. They seem to be very sensitive to any slight misalignment. I guess they do need to be very strong in order to form the supposedly weatherproof seal, but not if the force of closing them then causes damage to the box. I still do quite like these boxes at £30 but if mine suffer any further failures/damage I will update this review accordingly.
