What tool cases are suitable for tradespeople and professional technicians?
Ensuring that your equipment stays safe and sound in storage and during transit is vital for any hands-on occupation – after all, faulty or damaged tools may prevent you from performing to your best ability, harming your performance and company image.
So, to help you find the ideal case for you, our experts have carefully evaluated a range of exceptional quality tool cases for you to compare and consider before investing in a new tool case:
The best all-rounder – Megabag tool cases
The Megabag tool case is perfect for professionals searching for a reliable tool case to store and protect their equipment – crime scene investigators, field service engineers, audio technicians, and many more all benefit from the reliable Megabag.
Megabag is famous for its world-renowned German technology that ensures maximum strength and adaptability. Megabag utilises a unique double-wall system that gives you an unbeatable level of protection. This is a desirable shock-absorbent air cushion between two walls of impact-resistant polypropylene (PP) that keeps delicate instruments safe.
With these designs, you also have a wide choice of case sizes to choose from, meaning there’s a case to fit most needs. Plus, this design includes a padlock option, securing your tools from thieves and providing you with total peace of mind.
The most advanced – Peli tool cases
If you’re in the market for a sturdy tool case with exceptional performance across all climates, look no further than Peli. Peli tool cases represent the strongest and most advanced type of storage case any professional could ask for.
The military, police, engineering and communications sectors alike have all put their trust in Peli tool cases, and for good reason.
Their exceedingly rugged copolymer polypropylene hard shells defend goods from hefty impacts. On top of that, Peli’s engineering works to keep your electric drills, screwdrivers and measuring equipment safe from other destructive forces, including moisture, pressure and extreme temperatures.
Peli’s innovative tool cases are waterproof and feature both an O-ring seal and a pressure relief valve. This dual functionality controls internal air pressure and delivers robust protection, effectively resisting the infiltration of water and dust that can damage tools and instruments.
What’s more, Peli tool cases have been field tested in extreme temperatures between -23 to + 99° C, performing admirably – superb for those technicians operating in harsh climates.
The most adaptable – Enduro MAX tool cases
If you’re a technician or service engineer, Enduro MAX tool cases are a range that should be under consideration.
This brand’s tool cases are highly adaptable – with the Enduro MAX TC505 for example, you have a choice of two interchangeable tool panels, to suit the specific needs of your job. You can even switch out the panels for customised foam inserts if you’d prefer a more tailored interior.
Additionally, with Enduro MAX tool cases, you can efficiently keep your documents neat and separate from your tools with handy document dividers, helping you maintain the utmost professionalism in front of clients or colleagues.
This case also benefits from an outstandingly rugged hard-plastic shell, which can easily withstand considerable impact, as well as padlockable, secure catches for a superb level of security.
Ultimately, the advantageous qualities of Enduro MAX cases make them a very popular option for professional tradesmen across an array of industries.
Best choice for small applications – Mini tool cases
Does your trade or current project require a limited number of tools? Or maybe you need a tool case that’s small and compact to fit into tighter spaces. If this is you, a mini tool case is a great and practical option for you.
Don’t be fooled by their diminutive dimensions – Mini tool cases also have the same double-wall polypropylene construction technology as the Megabag range, so they’re as tough as they come.
Two models are available, each with fully adjustable tool panels to meet your needs. Electricians and those in similar professions can benefit from the Mini TC2‘s foam base, which is cut to your requirements, and superb for test kits and meters.
Finally, you can add a personal touch to your mini tool case and advertise your business on the job thanks to the external smooth patches, perfect for ID labels and branding.
