Tool Cases and Toolboxes

216 products · Tool Storage and Containers

Tool cases and toolboxes are used to transport, protect and organise tools and accessories on site, in the workshop and on maintenance jobs. The collection includes rigid containers, stackable modular systems and protective cases.

What you will find in the collection

  • Plastic cases for power tools and accessories, such as those from Makita.
  • Stackable modular systems, such as DeWalt ToughSystem and Makita Makpac, with modules, drawers and adapters.
  • Toolboxes with trays and compartments, in plastic or metal.
  • Rigid shock-resistant cases, with foam padding for delicate instruments.
  • Tool trolleys with wheels and accessory containers.

How to choose

Consider the size of the tools, the total weight and the degree of protection required, for example against dust and water. If you already have a modular system, choose containers from the same family so that they can be clipped together and stacked.

For everyday use, sturdy handles, reliable latches and a durable base are convenient; for transport in a van, it is best to choose stackable containers, which make better use of space and protect the contents from knocks.

AMES works on a quotation basis: tell us what you need to carry and we will recommend the right container.

Frequently asked questions: Tool Cases and Toolboxes
What are tool cases and tool boxes used for?

They are used to carry, protect and organise tools and accessories between site, workshop and maintenance jobs. Boxes with trays and compartments keep drill bits, driver bits and small parts separate. Hard cases protect power tools from knocks during transport in a car or van.

Plastic or metal: which tool box should I choose?

Plastic is lighter, resists moisture and dust well and suits frequently used power tools. Metal is more robust against impacts and heavy loads, but is heavier to carry. In a workshop with oil and solvents, also consider the material of the seals and closures.

What are stackable modular systems such as TSTAK and ToughSystem?

They are containers that interlock on top of each other, with modules, drawers and adaptors compatible with one another. The DeWalt TSTAK system, the ToughSystem 2.0 and the Makita Makpac allow you to build a tailored tool set. Always check compatibility between modules, because not all parts from different brands interlock.

Which tool set should I choose: does the number of pieces matter?

The number of pieces matters less than their use. Cases such as the Milwaukee PACKOUT plumber's case with 74 pieces, or the 62-piece electrician's version, are designed for a specific trade. A generic set of 25 or 147 tools may be enough for the home or occasional use. Check the list of pieces in the data sheet before choosing.

How do I transport a case of power tools safely?

Close the latches properly, secure the batteries so they do not move, and put the heaviest items in the lower compartments. In a car or van, secure the case so it does not slide under braking. Do not leave the container in very hot places, especially if it contains lithium batteries.

Are deep wheeled cases useful on site?

Deep wheeled cases and wheeled bases, such as the Toughsystem 2.0 DXL wheeled base with storage, make moving easier on floors and on construction sites. They are useful when the tools are heavy or the route is long. The benefit depends on the ground: on rough ground or steps, the wheels are less useful.

How do I clean and store a tool box?

Empty it regularly and clean the inside of dust, chips and oil residues with a dry cloth. Check the catches, hinges and seals, which protect against moisture. Store the tools dry to avoid rust on steel parts, and keep the box in a dry place.
