Underseat socket/tool set/case?

Whatcha. I have it in mind that my Christmas present to temeraire should be something like a case of sockets and maybe other stuff too. Think edc for the car. Ideally 1/2 drive and maybe deep drive too. Needs to be good quality so that as necessary the sockets can be abused with a rattle gun but not heirloom quality as it's only living in the car.  It's also a duplicate of a duplicate of the auxiliary tools, as the nice ones are locked up good and proper. Think Bahco rather than Stahlwille. Ideally I would like something in a neat plastic case that is out of sight under the passenger seat but isn't so comprehensive that it gives me a hernia getting it out to use. Alternatively is there a case system that I can populate myself that isn't just a loose rattle trap?

I found a ‘Really Useful’ box which slides under the stock seats, it’s about shoe box size and you could fit a fair bit in. I lined mine with some thin foam, worked really well until I changed seats and they won’t fit, now I found some white plastic trays from B&M which slide under my new seats.

The really useful boxes are in the garage, so I can check size if you decide to DIY?

I haven't looked at those, do they have holders for things built in or do I need to foam them first?

They are just a basic plastic box with lid, no inserts, see this post

B&M have stopped doing this size, you could have the two I have, but shipping will be more than buying them new.

Hi Doc.

Still on the hunt for replacement seats for Tonka, so would be interested in info. on the seats you fitted in your Jimny?

Cheers

The Halfords Advanced range is actually good quality and has a lifetime guarantee that they do honour, I've work in a store and they even cover the box!
Yes they can appear expensive, but if you wait until a deal AND go in store and get a trade card (it's not that hard) they can work out value for money.

May even be worth asking in store if they have any empty cases or part boxes, aka a "manager special". They can and do (if in the mood) cut a deal to move incomplete stock.

Good grief, I've recommend Halfords, may you forgive me
