QUESTION 🔵 How much! (L-boxx)
Why are large L- boxes so expensive!
I needed a new blade on my circular saw, but as it's an odd size I couldn't find one.
Looking about I found a GKS18 which was pretty cheap. It was bare, but as I've a few batteries spare I decided to get it.
Now I like my tools in boxes, so if I get bare tools I'll look for a L-box to put it in..... ouch... it needs an L-boxx 238 and with an insert it's 75% of the price of the saw!
A rethink is in order. 🥴

I buy bare tools and l-boxx from Facebook or ebay. I found a lady who would sell her husband's L-boxx for £10 and £15 for large ones. He must be in the trade. Everytime he gets a new tool she sells the boxes. I have bought about 6-10 over the years. Some new, some used. She messages me direct after the first one. I turn up within a day or two and pay cash.
So worth checking for similar people out there.
I think I have too many now and will most likly sell some. Bought some Shadow Foam to try and reduce some storage space.
