power 8 tool box anyone used one of these?

I ran across this in one of my many journeys out on the net and it seemed pretty cool. It would be really neat for traveling or handy for people with small shops.

Of course it might not work as well as the video makes it look.

Looks more like a gimmick tool set.They make it look cool by having everything fit together and take up minimal space.Don't expect to do a decent job.You can see the drill drift when he applies minimal pressure.The arm is anchords into a plastic box afterall.

That's pretty sweet. Did you notice he forgot to pack the drill bit at the end of the video (5:50 or so)?

A full collection of tools - likely each of which is completely sub-par...

Life's too short to fight with cheap tools!

You're probably right. But I still am fascinated by the novelty of everything fitting together so nice.

I have never used this, but I did watch the video a month or so ago. If you watch closely, there seems to be a lot of flexing in the base and it just seems cheesy to me. I would save my money and buy quality tools that I know I could count on to do a good job. Just my 2 1/2 cents.

If the tools are well made (think milwaukee, festool,bosch) then it would be a handy kit for an installer. I did not see how it charged and i did not see a second battery. When running a battery kit I allways have 2 chargers and 4 spare batteries. Time after all is money.
