Rolling Portable Tool Boxes?

Hi all. My brother lives in a small 2-room apartment with very limited storage and no garage. I'm trying to find him a portable rolling tool chest that he can easily move from his apartment to the driveway.

This is exactly what I'm looking for:

Only problem is this box is in the UK, and the cost to ship to the States is about the same as the box itself. Plus the company hasn't been that responsive.

I thought I could find something like this in the US, but there doesn't seem to be anything that is this versatile (it breaks down into four pieces) or with this many drawers.

Any ideas? I'd like to keep the cost at around $200.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

A dolly and the 22" Ketter boxes that stack. On sale at HD and Costco for $20 a box

Thanks guys. Saw those options at Amazon, the Tood is closest but doesn't look as well made.

I may end up going with that Keter/Ridgid set. Seems to be well regarded, but I was really looking for the drawers. I see the Ridgid boxes do come with some partitions, but they seem better suited for bulky power tools than screwdrivers, ratchet sets, and wrenches.

Can he bump it up to about $340? This Beta rolling trolley breaks down, is made up of drawers rather than boxes, is normally about $600 but is available on Amazon right now in used-like new condition for $340 shipped.

Edit: Gone now, back up to $600.

Thanks, I saw the Beta's, but new are out of my price range, and I'd rather not get him anything used (I'm getting it as a gift). Would be willing to go to $250.

I'll check out the Ridgid boxes, but if Motamec gets back to me, I may still go with them. Would end up running about $250 I think, with shipping.

The Ridgid boxes are great and very reasonably priced. That's what I'm currently using in my tiny garage to store all of the larger and bulkier tools I have.
Most of my hand tools at home are in a Hazet 190L cantilever box.

If you must have drawers the Dewalt Tough System is very nice as well. Just more expensive.
