Bosch Interlocking L-Boxx System
Tools In Action: Don’t you hate when you have a nice tool, but it did not come with a case? or maybe it came in a cheap bag? Well now thanks to Bosch you have a multitude of options thanks to the new L-Boxx system. We have seen Interlocking systems before with the Systainer. The L-Boxx is a little more refined and a feature that I like a lot its splash proof .

These seem nice. When I looked up the prices though I changed my mind. If I cared about my personal tool a lot I would probably be more apt to purchase a pelican case and keep it in that. Everyone is entitled to their opinion though. Also with pelican cases I prefer the nice soft interior.
Bosch and I have a bad history, and while this is an interesting product that might appeal to some, it seems just kinda over priced. I have never quite understood people who have individual cases for every tool, and this really has not done anything to sway my mind on the topic. While the video shows how it could be used for tools, it spent more time being presented as almost a glorified tackle and small bit organization box, which cost a lot less are really do not need the extra durability this thing boasts.
It's promising that someone is competing with the festool/systainer franchise for modular storage systems, and hopefully in a slightly more reasonable price range. The only thing I still don't quite get about this style of storage is why it insists on being vertical. It makes sense for the modules to stack vertically, but I would really like if the access doors were on the front, not the top. Then it becomes essentially a modular custom shelf system, instead of a linear-search problem to find the tool on the bottom of your stack.
This is a great idea. I have a Milwaukee circular saw that I left the case out in a rain storm and the inner wall filled up with water. The case is deigned in a way that I cannot get the captured water out. No matter how I shake or tip the case the water is trapped. I cannot use the case now because I do not want to rust out the tool. I would look in to this Bosch system but if it is more than 35% of the cost of the tool I will probably pass. It is a better idea for a more sensitive tool like the ceaseless laser level that I got on-line.
Bosch and I have a checkered past I have fallen in love with Bosch tools but I have also has several fall apart on me well before they should have. I think that Bosch is trying to make a system similar to apple that encourages or even forces you to buy only Bosch. With that said one of the most frustrating things is to not be able to use the tools you have because you cant find them or they have been broken from miss use. I think that Bosch is offering up a solution to having a random assortment different box's I don’t personally think its worth the price but I could definitely see others buying this for its convenience and compatibility.
