The WL Series: 9 Standard Sizes for Metal Tool Box

For your reference, here are the WL series models we typically use for Metal Tool Box applications. Outer dimensions (OD) are measured to the outside of the case; inner dimensions (ID) reflect the usable cavity after subtracting wall thickness. All in millimeters; imperial dimensions in our catalog PDF.

ModelOuter (mm)Inner (mm)Weight (g)MaterialSize Class
WL2305 230×180×45 mm 225×150×40 mm 240 g PP+GF Electrician Tool Kit
WL2808 275×230×82 mm 265×190×76 mm 480 g PP+GF Plumber Tool Kit
WL6030 600×450×300 mm 575×420×280 mm 4200 g PP+GF Stackable Mobile Workshop

The most common model for "Metal Tool Box" buyers is the WL2305 (230×180×45 mm OD, 240 g empty weight, PP+GF body).

Material and Foam: What Metal Tool Box Is Made Of

All Metal Tool Box cases use engineering-grade polypropylene (PP) or PP+glass-fiber composite (PP+GF) for the shell, with CNC-cut closed-cell PE foam inside (density 25 kg/m³). The foam density is calibrated to absorb 1.2m drops on concrete while keeping your equipment from shifting.

The shell is rated IP65 ingress protection and validated to MIL-STD-810H Method 516.8 (26 drops at 1.2m). Temperature range is -40 ~ +80 °C. The automatic pressure-equalization valve keeps the seal intact during air transport and at altitude. Latch is a double-throw design rated for 5,000 open/close cycles. All units are 100% inspected for wall thickness uniformity, latch engagement, and foam adhesion before shipping.

Metal Tool Box Sample Layouts (2024-2026)

Here are 3 real Metal Tool Box foam layouts from 2024-2026: (A) Sony A7 IV + 24-70mm + 70-200mm + 3 filters + 2 batteries — fits WL2808. (B) DJI Mavic 3 + RC + 4 batteries + charger — fits WL2005. (C) RED Komodo + 2 lenses + monitor + cables — fits WL5020. We share these at the 12h quote stage.

Metal Tool Box Cost vs Value: 5-Year View

Cheap Metal Tool Box: $3-8/unit, 6-month lifespan, 200-cycle latch, 15 kg/m³ foam. Our Metal Tool Box: $5-15/unit, 10-year lifespan, 5,000-cycle latch, 25 kg/m³ foam. Over 5 years, our case is 4-5x cheaper per year of use. Total cost of ownership wins.

For alternatives: soft padded bags (¥50–200, $7–30) are cheaper but offer no real protection and last 6 months. Aluminum hard cases ($80–300) are heavier, prone to denting, and 2–4× the price. Carbon fiber cases ($300+) are overkill for 95% of B2B use cases. Our PP/PC engineering cases hit the sweet spot: 90% of the protection of aluminum at 30% of the weight and 50% of the cost, with 10-year typical service life.

Metal Tool Box: 5-Step Order Process

Ordering Metal Tool Box is 5 steps: inquiry (12h response), quote (with recommendation), PO + 30% deposit, production (30 days + QC photos), balance payment + shipment. Repeat orders are 15-20 days. Custom OEM/ODM adds 25-30 days for mold.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Metal Tool Box and similar products from other factories?

Three main differentiators: (1) Real third-party test certificates (not 'design intent'). (2) In-house foam CNC cutting (not outsourced to a third party). (3) Senior engineering team with 10+ years experience (not sales-led). We compete on quality and reliability, not price.

Yes. We sign mutual NDA before any custom design discussion. Standard NDA: 5-year confidentiality, no third-party disclosure. Custom NDA: we can review and sign within 24-48 hours. Email kexin@beeaa.com to start.

What is the engineering review process for Metal Tool Box?

DFM (Design for Manufacturing) review included free for OEM/ODM orders. Process: 3D model / spec submission → 48h DFM feedback → 3 revision rounds → design freeze → tooling. Engineer-to-engineer video call available for complex projects.
