BOSCHL-BOXX-3 Stackable Tool Storage Case

I used to going for the tools that came with plastic cases, assuming they would give a safe way to store and transport. They do those functions well, but they do so at the cost of space, which is at a premium in my small home workspace. If I had the budget for a dedicated shop, I would probably find the Bosch L-boxx cases not as good a solution as they are. But they work great for my needs. The sizes are pretty wide, offering a good way to fit tools, from saws to sanders. If you have Bosch tools, there are inserts made for the cases, although they do not appear to be sold in the US at this point. I may order some pick and pluck foam, but for now find them to work well with the tools right next to one another when mixed (sanders in one box, etc). If you depended on the cases for your lively hood, the inserts or padding might be more important. I am slowly trying to accumulate L-boxx units to get rid of the tool provided cases I have, since they are mostly air (or plastic). They are pricey for certain, although less expensive than Festool's Systainers, but can be neatly stacked atop one another, including a wheeled base option. Personally I am not sure the wheeled base is worth the cost, so I will whip up my own wheeled bases out of some plywood with shallow vertical side pieces to help lock the bottom L-boxx in place. Anyway, the L-boxx units are plastic, but they feel sturdy enough for most uses. Not as heavy duty as some of the Dewalt offerings, but much more flexible in my opinion. I would not load them up with pounds of hardware, but for most tools they are more than capable of holding, protecting, and organizing your toys. They connect and disconnect easily enough, have large holds, and a big top mounted handle. Recommended.

As an IT pro, I need to be ready to tackle a variety of projects on a daily basis. Keys to being successful and a true jack of all trades are to be organized and to be prepared. These LBOXX's are the coolest way to keep things organized and on the go. I'm not hunting for things in a big rolling box--I'm finding everything in it's place much more quickly.I use 5 of them right now, and they carry everything I need to tackle any project. Here's what works for me:LBOXX-3: Network patch cables, surface mount boxes, and USB patches and extension cables.LBOXX-1 with Insert Set: Fasteners of all types for mounting racks, cabinets, and wall-mount brackets.LBOXX-1 with Insert Set: Networking tools, jacks, plugs, test gear, and such.LBOXX-1 with Insert Set: Drill bits and driver sets for masonry, steel, wood, and assembly.LBOXX-2: Makita 18v LiOn drill/driver, 18v LiON impact driver, charger, and 3 batteries.They all stack and lock nicely, fit very well in the back of my RAV4. With my setup, this stack can get pretty heavy--a folding cargo dolly does the trick.Sure, they are a bit pricey, but the cost is easily offset by how much more efficiently I can work, how easy they are to transport, and how easy they are to rack in my storage area. If you have a cargo van, these are compatible with the Sortimo shelf systems (since they are made by the same company).You'll also find that some new Bosch tools are now packaged in these boxes, so they fit right in with your setup.Quality is very good, and the insert bins with some of the boxes give you a lot of flexibility with your storage needs.Very highly recommended!

I think the Bosch "LBOXX" system is one of the better quality and best looking storage systems compared to the competition. That being said I think the smaller boxes with included storage trays present a much better value, this is quite expensive what is really just an empty box. Also, although its obviously not the products intended purpose these boxes will noticeably bend and I assume with enough weight break under the weight of being sat on. Overall a good quality product, but I will probably hold off on buying another one of these particular "LBOXX-3"s unless it is bundled with a tool.

I am a big fan of the L-Boxx concept, easy to stack and plenty of durability. I bought into the L-Boxx storage system after buying a couple Bosch tools that came with the L-Boxx. I really like the different size box selections and I can find Usually find an L-Boxx that is a good fit with most any tool I have. The system can get pricey but it really depends on how you plan on using the system, I like the square shape, the shape lets me store the boxes in my truck with little wasted space, no weird space age shapes or protective bars that take up unnecessary space in the truck or van.

Strong without being too heavy is what I mean by well balanced. I guess for extremely rough use something tougher could be required, but I wouldn't want the extra weight. For the capacity these are quite light. They lock together for wheeling them to your work location in one go, but work just as well separated too.There are no partitions, compartments, divisions or anything... it's just one big space. Foam with breakaway cubes is available but I didn't feel they would achieve what I wanted, and they cost a bit much too. I bought some EVA foam in 10mm and 25mm thickness then templated tool cut outs, laminating as required to get an overall thickness. I also made dividers from thin MDF covered with the 10mm EVA foam. My point is that I couldn't have achieved the totally custom result if the boxes came with partitioning... to me it's a plus because I wanted something specific.Note that Sortimo developed this box system and have quite a few bits not available with the Bosch branding. Check out their website for compartment trays, divider frames, document wallets and specialist insert modules. If you have Bosch tools, Bosch sells prefabricated trays specially designed for their tools. Making your own is far more rewarding though ;-)Cheers, Steve
