FAQs

What are the internal dimensions of the trays and base compartment?

Each of the four cantilever trays has internal dimensions of 425mm (length) x 95mm (width) x 45mm (depth). The wide bottom tray has internal dimensions of 425mm (length) x 195mm (width) x 120mm (depth).

What is the maximum weight this toolbox can hold?

The toolbox is rated for a maximum working load of 30kg.

Does the toolbox come with a padlock?

No, the padlock is available separately. Laser Tools recommends Part No. 0496 (25mm) or 0497 (30mm).

How do I clean the toolbox?

You can clean the toolbox using a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use mild soap and water, then wipe dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the paint.

What is the difference between this model and Part No. 1310?

Part No. 1310 is a longer 5-tray toolbox, suggesting it has a similar tray configuration but an extended length for potentially more storage or different tool layouts.

Can I store power tools in this toolbox?

Yes, smaller to medium-sized power tools, such as cordless drills or impact drivers, can typically fit in the spacious base compartment. Very large power tools may not fit.

What material is the toolbox made of?

The toolbox is constructed from thick gauge steel with a durable painted finish.

Troubleshooting

Toolbox handles do not interlock securely.

Ensure that all trays are fully closed and seated correctly. Debris or slight misalignment can prevent the handles from interlocking. Gently adjust trays if necessary.

Trays are stiff or difficult to open/close.

Check for any obstructions or debris in the tray slides. Wipe down the slides with a dry cloth. If the issue persists, a very light application of silicone lubricant on the slide edges might help, but avoid over-application which can attract dirt.

Paint is chipped or scratched.

For minor chips, touch-up paint can be used. For deeper scratches, consider using a metal primer followed by a durable enamel paint in a similar color. This is primarily for cosmetic reasons and to prevent rust.

Padlock hole seems too small for desired padlock.

Ensure you are using a padlock compatible with the designated hole size, such as the recommended Laser Part Nos. 0496 or 0497. The hole is designed for specific padlock shanks.
