CHEAP SPACE CASES

[BernieS]

Bunnings at Cannon Hill East side of Brisbane have these, out the back in the timber/plumbing section.  Blue, Yellow and Grey.  I got one same size as Mandrake's yesterday and can easily fit all my kitchen gear as well as two saucepans and a fry pan.  Packed and raring to go, now if only this darn rain would clear off.

Cheers Bill - we popped into Bunnings quickly on Saturday morning, but the little girl had just fallen asleep in the car so I left it running (with the Mrs in it, before anyone asks ) and just sprinted inside.

The Smithfield Bunnings did have the smaller square boxes - Southside doesn't have them. They had the big (900) and huge (1200??) boxes as well, which Southside DO have. Unfortunately they didn't have the Mandrake-sized ones (as they shall now be known), which is the ones I was really hoping to find. That's OK - I'll keep my eyes open and if they get some stock in I'll jump in them then.

Cheers,
Matto

Supercheap also have some similar style ones in black. The large ones are about $240

I renamed the thraed so that we have a space case thread for searches in future.

Matto,
Because I go past there on my way home I usually have to stop in at least once a week.
Now that I know which one you are looking for I will keep my eyes open for one.
I will pm you when I see them...

Just bought a 1100x550x400 for $247 at Bunnings. These are the genuine trimcast/pelican ones. So happy I might even get another one tomorrow. Just drove down to Brisbane from Central Qld yesterday and sick of covering everything with plastic. I knew it was going to rain the whole way and my steel toolboxes don't seal properly. Bagging everything up is a PAIN!

Quick follow-up on this one - Bunnings Cairns (South Side ) has the size boxes I'm after atm - they've got a whole pallet of them. Along with the bigger ones and the square ones.

I almost walked out with one of the Mandrake-sized ones, but figured I'd better measure it first to make sure it would fit.
* The good news is it will fit on the roofrack where I want it to go.
* The bad news is that with it on the roof, the car won't go into the garage.

So, after all that mucking about, there goes that idea into the bin .

Thanks to Bill for offering to keep an eye out for me.

Cheers,
Matto

Was at Bunnings Cannon Hill Brisbane on the weekend and noticed that they are now selling this brand although not sure if these are in addition to the Pelican cases
