GDT GD8072 Plastic Tool Box, Bullet Case Style, Bench and Fishing Storage

The GD8072 is the single-layer box in the GDT bullet case range: a deep body, a hinged lid and a handle that folds flat. It is the size that suits a set of spanners and screwdrivers, a box of fishing tackle, or the assorted parts that otherwise live loose in a cupboard. Made by GDT.

GDT GD8072 Tool Box: Overview

Where the double-layer boxes separate small parts into a tray, this one gives the whole depth of the box to whatever is being carried. That suits bulky items – a hammer, a drill, a reel and tackle box – better than a tray does.

The lid runs on a full-length hinge and closes on a moulded catch. The handle folds down into the lid recess so the box stacks and slides, and the moulding is ribbed for stiffness under load.

It is a general-purpose box: tool kits for the house or the van, fishing tackle, craft and hobby storage, and parts organisation on a bench.

Key Features at a Glance

• Deep single compartment – room for bulky hand tools and tackle.
• Full-length hinge – lid opens right back and stays attached.
• Folding handle – lies flat so boxes stack and store.
• Moulded catch – flush fitting, nothing to snag.
• Ribbed shell – stiffened for workshop and vehicle use.
• 0.45 kg empty – light to carry, even loaded.

Body, Lid and Everyday Use

Depth over dividers

A deep single compartment is the right answer when the contents are bulky and irregular. A hammer, a cordless drill body, a hand plane or a reel will not sit in a shallow tray, and a box divided into small compartments wastes space on anything larger than a screwdriver.

The trade-off is that loose small parts mix, so if that matters, use a double-layer box or a small parts box inside this one.

Lid and handle

The full-length hinge spreads load along the back edge, which is what keeps a loaded box square under one-handed carrying. The catch is moulded into the lid line so nothing protrudes to catch on a shelf or a boot lip.

The handle folds into the lid, so the box stores as a flat rectangle. That is the detail that makes a difference when several boxes are stacked in a van.

Boxes ship individually in export cartons. Carton quantities are available on request.

Where It Is Used

Household and vehicle tool kits, fishing tackle and outdoor gear, hobby and craft storage, and bench organisation where parts and tools are kept together in one box.

Choosing a Plastic Tool Box

1. Choose a deep single-compartment box like this one for bulky tools, and a double-layer box where small parts must stay separate.
2. Measure the longest item that has to fit before ordering.
3. Check the folded handle height if the box has to slide under a shelf or seat.
4. Keep a padlock or cable tie with the box if it will be left on site.

Care and Maintenance

Empty grit and swarf out after use and wipe the box with a damp cloth. Leave the lid open to dry after working in the rain, and keep the catch clean so it continues to close positively.

Do not stand on the box or use the lid as a work surface, and do not leave it loaded with wet steel tools for long periods.

OEM and Bulk Supply

Custom colours, logo moulding and printed cartons are available on bulk orders, and the supplier accepts OEM and ODM work for own-brand tool storage ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it have a parts tray?

No. This is the single-compartment model. The double-layer boxes in the same range have a lift-out tray.

What fits inside?

A typical hand tool kit, fishing tackle, or craft and hobby materials. It is the mid-size box in the range at 0.45 kg empty.

Can it be locked?

The catch has points that take a padlock or cable tie. A lock is not supplied.

Is it waterproof?

It keeps rain and dust out in normal use but is not a sealed dry case and should not be submerged.
