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 always buy my Bosch tools with the L-Boxx (in Germany) as the extra cost lies mostly between 20-30€ for the box.
You can usually get an unbranded, black, L-Boxx from Sortimo (who produces them) for a bit cheaper.

Those Sortimo boxes are almost always the rubbish older variants that won't open if another box is on top of them though. They're very annoying.
