Good tools are invaluable, but Park Tool’s BX-3 takes storage and transportation to obsessive levels. Moulded from impactresistant polypropylene, the box is based on an aluminium frame with large integrated rubber wheels, a tough slide-out handle and three hinged side handles. The bombproof BX-3 fastens airtight with four sprung clips, and is lockable. It measures 59.5x44x23.5cm, weighs 10.32kg empty and is opened by two gas struts. Five bespoke tool boards can be arrayed around the open box, uncovering further storage in the base and lid, giving easy access to any one of potentially hundreds of specific tools.
