I LOVR FRYS as well... best for electronic stuff you don't even know you need

It's like Bunnings for nerds. I saw my first high-def tv there about 8 years ago, it was a religious experience

I'm looking at 2 sizes so far - Air tight , dust tight and water tight - not sure about lockable yet .

Medium size range - -- External dims - walls are 35mm thick

580*410*350
840*430*430

Large size range - external dims - walls are 38mm thick approx..

1090*690*510
1200*800*600 - Might be a bit too big ??

When I get prices I'll let you know if its a goer or not ..

Do they have different name at bunnings. I just searched their website but did not see the trimcast name.

I don't know if all stores carry them but they can order them. Maybe try searching for Pelican.

Mandrake · « **Reply #38 on:** February 20, 2013, 10:36:32 AM »

Just went and got this one - 780 X 380 X 380 mm - $139.00 - Should be able to get a couple of slabs in that

D4D · « **Reply #39 on:** February 20, 2013, 10:45:41 AM »

Nice work, which Bunnos? I got mine from Thomastown.

Mandrake · « **Reply #40 on:** February 20, 2013, 10:57:19 AM »

Hoppers Crossing - They don't have the full range - small cubes like your photo - the ones I got and the ones as big as most CT toolboxes ...

Matto · « **Reply #41 on:** February 22, 2013, 09:16:56 AM »

Checked out our Bunnings yesterday on the way home. All they had were the big ones (900x500???) for around the $200, and some REALLY HUGE ones that were on a pallet outside ($270-ish?).

They were labelled "Cargo Cases", but they're still not showing up on the Bunnings website. The guy I spoke to on the service desk didn't really know anything about them, other than the smaller ones were over there, and the bigger ones were outside. Which is a shame - I thought that a couple of the same size as Mandrake's above would be good as food boxes in the camper.

Ahh well - I'll have a look for them each time we're in there - they might just get random stock sent to them.

Cheers,
Matto

Putting that on my wish list, as I wouldn't mind one for my kitchen gear. The canvas bag I currently use is a pain in the proverbial.

Which Bunnings Matto? Smithfield usually have a fair range of sizes down near the trade desk.

T'was Bunnings Southside. I was going to take a drive out to Smithfield to see what they had on the weekend. Looks like it might be worth the drive then.

When you getns say "a fair range" - are we talking two or three different sizes, or a dozen?

I can see Saturday being an expensive day
