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.
Organizer slots
The number of individual cells provided in the organizer. In this case, we can talk about an organizer as a separate device (see "Type"), or a set of cells built into the lid of the box (see "Lid with an organizer"). And for solutions with removable partitions, in which cells can be combined, the maximum number is indicated — with all installed partitions.
Organizers, by definition, are designed mainly for small things. Therefore, the more cells there are, the more varieties of small items can be stored in a container. For example, in 10 cells you can keep bolts of five different sizes and separately nuts for them. Such a number of compartments —
up to 10 — is generally considered small, but in fact it is often quite enough.
11 – 20 cells can be called an average, and the most capacious organizers have
up to 30 compartments. However it is worth considering that with the same dimensions of the container, an increase in the number of cells leads to a decrease in their volume.
Installation of a padlock
Possibility to attach a padlock and protect the contents of the box is mostly possible thanks to a hasp — a specially designed hole in the case of the box through which the padlock shackle can be threaded. This feature allows you to lock the box manually, providing a simple yet effective protection against unauthorized access.
Maximum load
The maximum permissible weight that the toolbox can withstand without deformation, breakage, or reduction in performance. This indicator is specified in kilograms and depends on the design, materials, and presence of reinforcements. This parameter is especially important when choosing a model for heavy hand or power tools: the higher the permissible load, the more reliable and durable the box is under intensive use, especially in a professional environment.
