Hey guys...
I went for the first time to wonder around a store here in Germany called OBI which is sort of like the German version of Home Depot/Lowes. I mostly just went to browse around and see what kind of stuff people use in Europe for construction etc. I also had to pick up some little this and thats...but check out what I found...(see attachment pics)..
I nabbed the sales flyer associated with these boxes since I was kinda intreagued. I saw them on a shelf and went to pick one up out of sheer curiosity and dang! They are lite weight!!!!!!! So immediately the gears begin to churn...
The uses for these may be wide spread if I can get a couple and do a little testing. They aren't cheap but they were not stupid expensive either... I suppose cost is reletive to everyone.?. THe thing I'm more interested in is how they would hold up. They seem thin but not chinsey. Maybe the added perimeter structure and rivets add to that? Not sure..
Unfortunatly I don't speak or read German so I have little idea what the sales add says but the pictures help and the size chart on the back gives a good idea once you translate from the metric system.
Are they strong enough for tool, parts, heavy recovery gear? I don't know but would imagine no. But my thought was mounting them on the roof and using it for maybe camping gear or kitchen stuff or...? Not sure, just bulky stuff that takes up room where I could store the heavy stuff there by keeping it off the roof.
Take a look and tell me what you think. If anyone here reads German that would be nice too.. Cheers!
