Tools, Plant & Equipment A Toolbox Built For The Toughest of Tasks Versatile, virtually invincible and great value for money, a super-tough new British-made toolbox has been launched by online retailer PlasticBoxShop. Suitable for commercial, hobby or domestic use, the toolbox has been developed from the tried and tested Wham BamBox range of ‘virtually indestructible' plastic storage boxes, which are among PlasticBoxShop's bestsellers. The Wham Bam Toolbox is made from a newly developed material designed to resist high impact damage, even at low temperatures which can make some plastics brittle. Retailing at less than £15, it is an inexpensive must-have, or an affordable gift. The toolbox has a deep graphite-coloured base with a handy removable dual-compartment insert tray and a hinged snap-shut lid in a choice of silver or orange. Even filled with heavy tools, it can be safely lifted using the sturdy metal handle with ridged grip.
