Hi everyone!
With my husband’s birthday coming up, I’m looking for a way to make his life easier. Most of his tools are Makita tools which are stored in Makpac cases. He’s been cursing at these cases quite a lot, mainly because the latches are quite stiff and don’t open easily. He has also mentioned that for some reason, the Hitachi cases he has work a whole lot better.
Now, one option would be to just get him some more Hitachi cases, but I was wondering if there might be an even better alternative?
So, long story short: I’m looking for stackable cases similar to the Makpac ones (and ideally in a similar price range), but with better-working latches. Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!
PS. I’m based in the EU.
Festool best for easy opening / handling + same size as Makita, spo all Makita too;s fit as if in MacCases.
Bit expencive but worth the money if you could afford it.
Just tell him to use them more, theyll get looser. Or get him a small 8oz hammer for closing the cases, i usually just hit them with my fist to close latches, doesnt really bother me anymore.
There is also Metabo Metaloc which fit within the Systainer/Makpack system
