Saw a Stanley 'deep organiser' in B and Poo last week, the clear cover seemed very brittle to me, you'd have to get hands on before you commit, they do look pretty good though.
According to the Screwfix website, the ones you linked are out of stock online and within a 10 mile radius of Bolton...

looks remarkably like the Stanley's

 

[Ermintrude]

The Stanley ones like this

They good. The ones with the thinner lid which are slightly cloudy are flexible and a but rubbish

Ooh they doo too. How may pennies might one expect to pay?

They do but not quite the Stanley ones have a small raised section on the lid where fax max badge goes. The wicks ones does. - that defo Stanley, the Clark ones don't and are ok, very slightly lighter duty.

Nice find Killy, not sure if we should be posting Rays prices outside the arms as trade only so here's the link, there's a smaller one too a fiver cheaper but why would you get a small one?

Stanley Deep Pro are very good. Lids aren't brittle in my experience, I've had mine for ages and still going strong. On offer in Poofix at the moment, around £15 each, normally £25.

But had it a long time.. don't the lid get scuffed after a while

eventually yes, but they have this great feature called a lid. what you do is open the lid and as if by magic you can see everything that is inside.

When I finally retrieve another new PRO one I'll make sure to put some cling film around the eyelids to keep it dust and clear..

I've got a few of the small fat max they are good I like the catches on the side as well makes it more secure and screws won't go flying across the road as easy. (Happened once I was sweeping the road for 20 mins as I had not long restocked it!)

Really Useful 42L Box with Lid, Clear, 5060024802610

I have a few of these in my little Astra van. They come in differing sizes and they stack up quite nicely. I just pick out a few fittings as needed and carry them in a small pail. A tiny bit of forward planning usually results in not having to carry all my fittings onto each job.

 

[Gma]

Any things better than half a dozen f+e tanks with all mixed bits in, you have to tip them all out to find anything!

 

[solutions]

The pro stanley organisers arw good I have 10 or so but I find the catches really annoying. They pop off the lid all the time when the lid is open and then you have to pop it back on to the lid properly to clise the lid and then latch. Bad design.

if you have a few organisers that are the same type/kind dollop a bit of different coloured paint on each of them (on front back and sides of case) so you can tell at a glance which one is 15mm fittings and which is 22 etc:wacko:

That's vandalism with paint. Thanks for the idea I'll defoe use Me selected insulated Tape colour selection.. and save the paint for the touch ups when shifting around rads and catching doors and bumps.. the last thing I need to run outa. Thanks for the serving suggestion...
