Hello,

I have seen compressors in a systainer but i find the content of the compressor to smal so i started my first toughbox project.

I’d took a senco popper compressor the pc 03/240 and chopped it pieces. My nextdoor neighbour is a welder so i askt him to put something togerther.

Welcome to the forum naatje! That is freakin’ awesome dude! Cold job with that to both you and your neighbor. I think you’ve started a really hot topic with this guy!

Wow, I do like!!!! 😉

Thanks for the postive comments, I’d had a lot of fun making this project. Has been a lot of drilling holes in the sides. About 500

Welcome to the form digging the box looks very professional, just wondering how does it store air.

chadlanthierMember since Mar 2013Feb 18, 2015 6:26 PM CT

That’s awesome job, I think your going to inspire others to create similar tough boxes.

madman_usMember since Sep 2014Feb 18, 2015 6:32 PM CT

yeah man – welcome to the forum

MikeyBMember since Dec 2014Feb 18, 2015 7:14 PM CT

That is real cool

Poisonfangs85Member since Feb 2015Feb 18, 2015 7:36 PM CT

Very cool! I could see this on the bottom of the tough box cart with trim tools in the upper boxes.

DiverDnMember since Jan 2015Feb 18, 2015 8:07 PM CT

That’s a lot of holes……

I made a sand sieve from a feed scope and thought I would never get all the holes drilled.

Good job, looks great.

Welcome!

Cool idea..!

To replay on the question from samuel l the black pipe is the air tank/supply.

It holds up to about 3 liters.

I’ve made a new pic from the compressor in the ds400

Oh that makes sense I thought that was just a role cage.

madman_usMember since Sep 2014Feb 21, 2015 1:47 AM CT

ya that was i thought first too

DiverDnMember since Jan 2015Feb 21, 2015 3:22 AM CT

Any concerns about the overall weight being too much for the top handle?

naatjeMember since Jul 2013Feb 21, 2015 8:04 AM CT

No driver.dn no concern about the top handle

the side handles i’m not sure. The box is havy.

I use a Carry cart for it. Work in progress…!!!

Very cool indeed! I wonder if other manufacturers will start to offer compressors in tool cases like this. The popularity of these and other tool box systems isn’t fading.
