My travel/storage box for MD

Gauntlet · Oct 13, 2011

I found these tool boxes at the local Home Improvement store on sale ($10 each), so I got a couple to protect my investment(s). Had access to enough (free) plank foam to line the boxes with.

Starting at the bottom, and stacking up, here's the different layers:

Plano. Hey could we have a model number if there is one?

Pretty slick. I keep threatening to build a hard case for the back of my pickup but right now haven't the time.

Box is a Plano, and I looked but there are no model numbers on it whatsoever. I got it at a Menards, and the (outside) dimensions are 20" long X 11" deep X 11" tall.

Now for those who want one for their Ace, it's just a tad short. I had to remove the arm cuff to make it fit (my 350), so I just keep a stubby screwdriver in the box.

Actually, the pic with the tray in the box was for the Ace, it wouldn't fit with my DeLeon (since I have a 2nd coil in the box), to the Tesoro box has my digging pouch, some gloves, etc on top of the shafts to keep them in place.

I have the same box from Menard's. I like having everything related to MD in one box, but took a different approach.

Nice set-up Cortland :cool:

For those interested, I looked on Plano's website. Looks like mine (not sure if Cortlands is the same size) is a Grab-N-Go Mod# 625. There are a couple other models that might be better suited/slightly longer (#781 and #682).

Here's a link with dimensions:

All that said, I doubt these others would be on sale for $10....but you never know.

Here's a 26"er on Amazon a quick search just turned-up (it has a couple smaller divided boxes on the lid):
