I keep my tools in sealed cases to protect from humidity because they live on covered outdoor racks. They organize and make it easy to move stuff into my truck. Its also convenient to keep the blades/discs/paper together with the tools.
The cases I started with were cheapos and they all broke.
I have one milwaukee packout box, a medium thick case that was $20 used and its full of screws so weighs like 35 lbs. It seems tougher than my other boxes but their bare cases are also heavier. I have a slightly bigger rigid-brand organizer full of bolts and its even heavier. The rigid is more flexible but has held up just as well. Sure does beat storing fasteners in cardboard boxes and coffee cans.
I really like the rigid pro gear brand cases from home depot. I just bought another medium sized rigid box case on sale for $30. I checked before I bought and the slightly smaller non-sale milwaukee packout was $140. Holds my angle grinder and all my discs.
For what they charge per hour I guess a pro doesn't need to care what the toolboxes cost but jeese those milwaukee seem like a complete ripoff.
