An interesting homemade product from an old fishing box. I show what happened

I'm one of those people who are annoying to put neatly electric tools in their boxes. I usually put everything in one large toolbox or sturdy bag. It's more convenient for me to remove the tool before work and pack after.

Recently I received a set of cordless tools, the question is ripe where to put all this stuff? A "crazy" idea came to my mind, what if instead of expensive, strong boxes for these purposes, we use a fishing box...

And what, it is made of durable plastic, it has enough room for tools and batteries. You can sit comfortably on it during smoke breaks. In cold weather, this plastic will not crack. It is already adapted for winter fishing. Has a thick carrying strap. And also you can place chargers in it.

This tool has primitive chargers, no station. The plug fits directly into the battery. When charging, it is illuminated by a red LED. When finished in green. I opened these boxes with electronics and decided to place them in the lid of the box, in the special section for fishing lures.

Arranging the wires in such a way that they go out to the batteries are laid on the second cover.

I made one power plug for two charging blocks. The very same plug brought out and folded the wire neatly into the outer compartment. Where the scoop or towel is usually placed.

I glued the microcircuits to the lid with hot glue and laid the wires. Closed with lids. When charging through matte plastic, it is clear that the batteries are charging or have already finished "saturated with electrons".

By the way, under the lid. Near batteries. There is enough space for rigs. Such as borax, spades, bits...

I put all my cordless tools in the lower compartment. I got moral satisfaction from how everything is compactly located. A grinder, a hammer drill, a wrench, a screwdriver have found their refuge. There is also enough space left. Check out the installation process in the gallery.

For those who think that such a box will fall apart, I assure you that it is very strong. And my 80-plus kilos can be easily held.

The only negative is if someone wants to steal my instrument, acquired by hard work. This is easy to do. All you have to do is drag one fishing box).

How do you like the idea? Deserves at least a little dried husky?
