   What's with these tool makers that they make these lousy boxes for their tools?

   MONEY!  Saves on packing materials?

   I agree with you.. But we live in modern times..  Wondering if it is as good as they say?

   My main  dissatisfaction with the manufacturers tool boxes is the wasted space created  by blockouts  in the plastic ones and the resulting  unnecessary large size of the boxes that leave no room for accesorries.  It would cost less to make boxes without the blocked out spaces.

   If you can, cut out the spacers (though I'm not sure the best tool to do that with).

   With my milwauky cordless box I tried cutting out the blockouts, but where that layer contacted the outside layer, it was welded.  I would simply like to have boxes without wasted space.  Also, , my porter cable framing nailor box is simply  unessesarilly huge.  I just think the tool manufacturers are not thinking when they design these boxes, with the exception of bosch for my impact driver- that is a good compact box with no wasted space
