Turner85 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Have you a transformer mounted into a tough box? Nice set up, more tools than I imagined a locksmith would need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locksmithmatt Posted September 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 I use the term locksmith in a lose term , that's what I served my apprenticeship in , but I do lots of things connected with security , 1 job could be fitting a lock to a aluminium door , next job making a new wooden door on site so it's quite varied plus I get sent around the country on short notice so I need to have all my tools to hand The toughbox power box , I used to keep a 110 box and leads etc in a Ds 400 , it was a pain to pack and in pack it , so I put a auto real lead in there , hard wired the 110 transformer , and fitted sockets etc on the out side , I'll post some mor pics Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Yellow Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Nice setup you got there. The toughsystem van is becoming a common sight on the UK roads! Liking the powerbox. Cool idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locksmithmatt Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Thanks Mr Yellow , I drew inspiration from you and Rossi7xI nicked a bit from each of you I may change the van next year , but I would like to change WBP to buffalo ply Im in the middle of changing the festool rack to a draw unit I'll post more pics on completion Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Yellow Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Ideas are to be nicked I like the buffalo ply. It holds up well, but it's quite expensive. Another downside, it makes the interior even more dark, so you need some good lighting, but I see you got that covered. Good one on the draw unit. I should've done that too. I only have one drawer, but now kinda miss having more.Next time I'm gonna do some things differently. Surely more space for Toughboxes! Do you have a picture from the inside of the powerbox?Also, how do you like that Bahco Ergo handsaw? I have the Stanley one, but they stopped selling it over here. Buying the blades from Germany now, but maybe going with Bahco in the end as I can get blades from the local suppliers here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locksmithmatt Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 The bacho saw is fantastic , I won't use another saw now , so comfy to use and blade change is easy , I'll get you a pic of inside Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
