Perfect for my needs!
It is not my 'daily' toolbox, I use it more for lathe and milling tooling.
Some of the items are pretty heavy and the box copes with it well.
Example of some of the stuff I have in my box.
I have not regretted buying the box, so if there is a Black Friday deal on it, go for it!

Just back from getting one, £540 inc VAT, hopefully I can recoup some of that when I sell on my Clarke Tool cabinet and chest that I’d out grown.
You’re not wrong about the weight, lucky a staff member was able to assist though otherwise I might have looked like one of those idiots trying to get a sofa into small car that I usually chuckle at.

You did well on your own and no doubt paid for it later.

Not if I keep off this website, it encourages you to buy tools.

Some of the AlieXpress 11/11 sale stuff started to arrive.
An external control panel and cable for the cheap VFDs.
Digital 'throwaway' callipers - I like these because they can do mm, inch and fractions.
Few end mills.
Project boxes - one will be to house an RPM meter for the Semco mill.
Tungsten internal threading bar.
R8 - 2 Morse Taper.
Hex to 1/4" adapters

Some free, well loved Ingersol Rand air tools, from someone who's switching fully to cordless.
I think the impact is some variant of the 2235Ti and it's clearly seen a lot of use, to the extent that I probably need to buy a new anvil as the groove for the hog-ring is thoroughly wallered out.
Given it's (probably) a lot more powerful than my old Makita, but less than a ⅓ the weight of my ¾" air impact I suspect it will become a get me out of trouble tool.
The ½" Air Ratchet is an LA430-EU not much info out there about them, but it seems like it's now sold as the APT330 by PCL, if it's rebranded by PCL or they bought the design I don't know.
What I do know is it's not light, but if it doesn't work as a ratchet I can still beat the bolts into submission.

Found in a loft on a site today.
But I found some nice Army Surplus stuff as well.

This bundle was a cheep E Bay spot.
No idea what the white square is, it is stuck in place.
This one is jammed, the con rod is stuck.

My favourite digital calipers can't even do inches, let alone fractions, and that's the way I like them. When I had a set with an "in/mm" button, I often found it would get knocked accidentally & I'd find it displaying inch-nonsense. My metric-only ones stay permanently in sensible units.
I had that tanks transporter/tank, but a big lad from up the village stole it off me. (I was about 7...)
