the BT one i had ages ago was bigger,better made with cantilever trays IIRC

 

[gazgas]

well i have never come across the older grey version of the tool box but do have a few blue ones and think if your doing a lot of service/breakdowns it is the best box i have had in 15 years

the one i bought is nothing like i remember it,its too small the bt one was the same as the bg one only grey not blue,would not like to stand on this one

The original was a canteleaver with compartments top and middle, then space at the bottom for your sandwiches

Next came the one with the lift out section that split into two... still space for your sandwiches underneath though lol

I still have one of the original and a cupl of the newer versions. Been 8 year since I left BG though so maybe they've changed since *shrug*
