Bought one of these for $6 a few weeks back. Thought that was a bargain.
Noticed down to $4 so bought another a few nights back.
It does feel cheap but if you plan of using it just to store your tools and knick knacks in your garage or shed then all good.
I can see it falling apart it you were a tradie carting it around daily with heavy contents.
ALSO GUYS IT HAS A TRAY IN THE BOX ASWELL.
Is it? lol
I saw some at super cheap roughly the same size a few weeks back for $19 and wasnt sure if that was cheap at the time as the last tool box i bought was from McEwans 13 years ago.
Was around $30 from memory but good quality plastic.
Kmart also has a small version for $3 when i bought the first one that has the storage at the top of the box and a tray plus the main storage part.
Good for small tools.
Ha, i never got one of those ladders lol. That $2 ladder beats this deal anyday and it got alot of ozbargainers quite excited if i remember correctly lol. I noticed they had step ladders (2 or 3 steps) for $19 i think. Is that good value?
Bought 1 last night - the catches on these did not click into place on about 10 I tried. Finally found a good one, & was so concentrating on the catch, forgot to check it had a tray inside. Dooh! Great for the price, but will be heavy if full of tools.
Awesome, I needed somewhere to put my 19-inch tool.
Come on Morini, we live in a metric world, try 19mm tool would more realistic :)
I think morini is going to need some aloe for that burn
I laughed, but the last time I heard that line was the 70's
Walked down to Kmart, bought two! Thank you BR.
i bought this at $6 dollars too , and thought it was a bargain.
Wow this is almost 34% savings. Good find..
which Kmart is this???
Clearance - should be most Kmarts. I bought last night at Garden City, Brissie.
thanks mate!
Cool…lunch box with a tray for condiments.
Excellent! And with 19" you can pack a "foot long" and a "6 inch" and still have room to spare! Time to stock up on Subway deals, eh?
lunch for the whole office!
What happens if your the only person in the office?
You are free to double dip on your bevvy of Soy Sauce, Wasabi, Ginger, Sweet Chilli sauces with impunity.
I bought it yesterday. It is abit crappy but 4 bucks… who cares…
wahhhh ripped off by 3.98 lol jakes on u..
I rang Kmart to put aside a tray (didn't check inside when I bought this box last night). The woman laughed when I said they may be OzBargained before I get there. She said they had thousands of them & been selling for months.
Check the catch works - shoddy manufacture. Otherwise everything will fall on your toes.
I went to 2 stores (Hurstville and Parramatta) today and both had only the 12" toolbox ($3) and 16" toolbox ($6), but no 19" toolbox - not even a price tag on the shelf to say its been OzBargained. :(
i bought mind at Hurstville. It was like 2 left yesterday on the side.
As it's a clearance item some stores will have heaps or close to none. Ask to check out back as usually the ones who have heaps often had a box or two collecting dust somewhere. It's stocktake at kmart this week so they'll come out of hiding about now.
Great deal, at least 30 left at Toowong, QLD. But I had to go through at least 15 of them to find 2 with working clasps.
Any broken ones see a team member and they'll knock the price down further to $3 or even less if you're pushy
Is it really worth the extra $1 saving to have one that doesn't close properly?
Agreed. Surely the broken ones should just be taken off the shelves as faulty goods?
Most would not clip shut at Garden City, Brissie. If you can't do up the clips, its not much use as a tool box, unless you never pick it up by the handle.
grabbed the last one at fairfield
Make sure you check the clasps before you buy them. In SA, there are none left at Kmart Firle. Kurralta Park Kmart had about 10 left on 24/5, but lots had dodgy clasps, or clasps which were completely unable to be shut. Thanks BR, for letting us know about them.
Are you guys lining the lid and box up square on? if so it will clip every time with a small amount of effort.
Yes. Seems you got 1 from a better batch.
I still struggle using both hands with the best one I could find. It closes with a very loud click if I pull the clip down. Certainly not easy.
The sides flex as you close, so that does not help. The yellow clip on 10+ I tried last night did not go over the lip on the lower section, so it would not click into place no matter what I tried.
The clasps will shut if you bend them out a little bit as you clip on. Pushing on them while trying to close them makes it worse. Thanks OP I got the last one MtOmmaney Kmart and it had a cracked corner :( but hey for $4 it will still do the job its inended for.
About 15 left in Victoria Gardens, Richmond last night. They were also unassembled so you can pick a lid + tray that requires least effort to close (the clips are all too tight which you can fix as opposed to too loose which would be a dealbreaker).
None at Kmart Broadway in Sydney. The other sizes had fairly bad latches (hard to close). 'Spose it's okay for $4 though.
Thats an insane price!
