Size
The main size of the container for tools. Inches are traditionally used for this designation, and the length is usually indicated as the main size. This information allows you to evaluate the "weight category" of the product as a whole, as well as to determine whether it is suitable for a particular instrument of large sizes. At the same time, the characteristics usually indicate the overall dimensions on all three main sides (in millimetres), however, it is more convenient for many craftsmen to use the size designation in inches.
For kits (see below), this paragraph indicates the dimensions of all containers supplied in the kit.
Volume
The volume of a toolbox, bag, or tool case indicates the internal space available for storage and is typically measured in liters. This parameter helps to understand how many and what type of tools can be placed inside — from small fittings to large power tools. In the toolbox section, volume is a key selection criterion: the larger the volume, the higher the capacity, but at the same time, the dimensions also increase. It is especially important to consider the volume when choosing a toolbox for specific tasks — a compact model is suitable for field work, while a spacious one is ideal for stationary storage.
Water resistant
The presence of a box for
water protection of the tool. The level of protection is usually denoted by two digits according to the IP standard. The first digit indicates the protection against dust (maximum 6), the second indicates the degree of protection against water (maximum 8). The maximum degree of protection according to this standard is IP68, that is, complete tightness. There are also markings of the IPX4 type, where the first digit is not spelled out - this means that the box has not been officially certified for dust resistance. Also note that in models with water protection, the place where the cover fits is usually sealed with a rubber gasket.
