Oddball Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Hi All Acquired a couple of tool cabinets this week and am desperately trying to find a supplier of boxes to fit the drawers. I thought this would be easy, however I can't find anything in the UK. This is what I'm after, http://www.ebay.com/itm/16-6-x6-x2-Red-Plastic-Boxes-Organizer-Trays-Toolbox-Dividers-fit-Lista-Vidmar/350682439072?_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982&_trkparms=aid%3D777000%26algo%3DABA.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D35389%26meid%3De1cbedf60ca54d4f8fdd148c35cdef9e%26pid%3D100009%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D380312762610 Any ideas ?

Steve Priest Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Or this perhaps (not exactly cheap!) http://r.ebay.com/E5hZwx Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Search Halfords for empty tool trays. They used to sell kits of high density foam for you to design your ow n layout, but maybe out of stock. And they also sell empty trays for tool sets. Or else try Euroslide.

AndyR100 Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 I cut the bottoms off empty (washed) plastic milk containers.... 2 & 4 pint versions offer different of sizes.... cut to the depth of your drawers ...... Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barkerwilliams Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 http://www.reallyusefulproducts.co.uk Have various sizes of divider trays. Alan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don H. Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Does Costco in the UK have these? They're pretty useful -- I have several sets in my workshop. http://www.costco.com/Ernst-10-%2526-3-Tool-Compartment-Tray---4-pk.product.100055390.html $32.99 for two of the three-slot drawer inserts and two of the ten-slot inserts. A very good deal for these US-made Ernst tray compartments. Edited April 2, 2016 by Don H. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don H. Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 I've never looked at those HF trays, Stan. I usually hold my nose and get in and out as quickly as I can, buying only whatever disposable tool I need for a job. They're noted as being made from polystyrene -- not the most solvent-resistant or strong plastic out there. They're likely thermoformed, too (although I'd need to check). The Ernst ones that I hope will come back at Costco are injection molded from, I think, polypropylene. A better engineering choice, IMO. The Ernst trays are only 1 1/2 inches deep, so they'll fit in a wider range of drawers than the 2 3/8 inch HF trays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Les Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Several of those Ernst trays on Ebay uk, but seem very expensive. Location for most of them is in the US. Les Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don H. Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Some of those Ernst trays are available on Amazon.com. Nowhere near as good as deal as when Costco.com had them, though. http://www.amazon.com/Ernst-Manufacturing-5020-Red-10-5-Inch-3-Compartments/dp/B000YOP264/ref=wl_mb_wl_huc_mrai_3_dp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lista is part of Stanley-Black & Decker, and might be the highest quality workshop cabinets in the US. I regularly run Craigslist searches hoping to score some good secondhand Lista. Haven't scored yet... Ernst, the maker of those injection molded red drawers in my posts above, is the primary manufacturer, AFAIK. The could quite likely do third party manufacturing for other companies, like Bott. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

powel1g Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Have a look at the "bigdug" website. You should find exactly what you need under drawer dividers. Regards Gavin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don H. Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I installed an Ernst Drawer Divider System of rails on one of the drawers of the garage toolbox as an experiment. Haven't lived with it yet, but so far it seems to be doing a good job. The kit was for what I guess is some standard drawer size that my 'box doesn't exactly match. I had to cut each rail and divider, and figure out how much needed to come off and fit up with the corner brackets and clips for the drawer size (the instructions, while otherwise good, didn't explain how to shorten anything). Not too hard. I wish they'd not made the choice for me about the small dividers. They're almost too small for how I wanted to lay out the drawer. One has gone unused as a result. I'd have preferred a longer length that I could cut to preference. For the money, it seems to be an OK system. Reasonably flexible and the ABS extrusions appear heavy enough to last.

Motorsport Mickey Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 For something a little more premade Halfords do the following, inexpensive enough to consider cutting to change shape if needed. http://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/garage-equipment/fuses-electricals-fixings/halfords-storage-box-with-8-dividers-hbb146 Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oldtuckunder Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Easy and cheap, multiple sizes put lids on or leave off, I must have a couple of hundred with small parts, nuts, bolts, etc etc etc, and apart from going in drawers they will self stack on each other. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Plastic-Containers-Tubs-Clear-With-Lids-Microwave-Food-Safe-Takeaway-All-Sizes-/190962404018?var=&hash=item2c763f0ab2:m:mBWr7zs-cLDQMIosladVIFw This was just a sample item, that works out at 16p each for a hundred, if you can be assed to search harder you will find them at half that price.
