Makita 197210-9 Interlocking Case, Small/4-3/8" x 15-1/2" x 11-5/8"

Some reviews on these call them cheap, and while the newest offering from Millwaukee are pretty amazing in build quality they also come in at about 30% more expensive than these and don't work with existing systems like these.I really like these Makita Cases. I have several, the first one came with my Makita Track Saw, and I loved it, they are actually very sturday, they stack really well, they lock together well, the plastic clasps can be stiff at times and sometimes need a little non-oil based lubrication, you could use sometime like WD40 but, then that attracts dust. But, it really isn't necessary.Contrary as well to what others have said they do have a spot for a lock on the right side, they are sturdy and strong, they are very functional, have a lot of volume / room. I have been buying additional ones for other tools as they make a great portable toolbox when combined that I can simply grab individual tools and go, they keep tools stowed and organized, and the boxes organize and stack, and store really well in areas with limited space.I recommend these. They could be cheaper but, for the price they are pretty good.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this case to store my newly purchased Makita Belt Sander (9404 - 4x24”). After verifying the dimensions from online specs I was pleased to find it fits very well both upright or on its side along with extra sand paper rolls. I don’t own the sanding shoe so I can’t comment on whether if would accommodate it as well but judging from its size it looks like it would fit.Pro:LightweightRelatively InexpensiveModular (Stacks w/ Both Small & Med Cases - All cases are the same dimensions except for the height)4 Locking clips help Secure lid or another case on topLarge Sturdy Carrying HandleInternal Boxed Corner supports and ribbing aid in stiffening caseCons:For just a little over $20 I really can’t find anything to complain about so this is just me being picky but when the latches are not locked down they have a lot of play in them which makes them feel cheap, makes me wonder if they won’t pop off accidentally after 1-2 years or break at the protruding hinge points. However when latched down they are solid and tight with no wiggle room at all. Just to reiterate, the container lid and hinge are fairly sturdy my issue is only with the 4 small black latches when they are not locked down.

We have the Makita vac and this fits perfectly on top. Just enough room to store all the pole parts and attachments for the unit and a bonus surprise to us was that you can use the handle on top to push it which makes moving it from place to place much easier, no more bending down!

Love that Makita makes these staking tool storage boxes. I’m a sucker for boxes and storage, and those that are modular, lock and stack are even better. These fit the bill, with my recent dive into battery powered tools, I needed a place to store them in the garage. Now with most companies not making a handy carrying case for their tools, I hope this will make up for that.The boxes are pretty solid, could have used a slightly thicker, sturdier plastic if I’m being picky. But they work well enough. I got all the sizes, from the XL down to the small. The locking latches are ok, a bit stiff and you have to get them just right or they will not lock. I’m not sure how sturdy they are when all the boxes are actually stacked and locked together if you are going to transport them. But they are sturdy enough just to keep them from wobbling around.I like that they make several sizes which at least for me, will accommodate all my tools, so far. The XL one is big enough to fit my circular saw, planer and router as well. The other sizes are also good for the rest of my tools, which are not makita tools, but I don’t think the boxes will care. I also want to make a few customized containers to fit inside. You know what they say, a place for everything and everything in it’s place.All in all a good product, could have been a bit thicker plastic and perhaps had different type locks, but all in all good enough.
