Hey everybody, Billy from Billys Bike Adventures, thanks for tuning in today and watching the video.
Now this tool box arrived in the post for me the other day. It is actually the second one that I
have had in recent times and I will tell you why I have had to change in a little bit in a little
while. Um, but I am going to tell you about this one and the other one that I have had,
give you some information about it and I will put all the information down in the description below
as well as links for it as well. If that is of some interest keep watching and let's get into it!
If you have not subscribed to Billys Bike Adventures yet don't forget to click the
red subscribe button, the bell notification and then all to make sure you don't miss out on any
updates. Now for those of you that are genuinely interested in knowing more about this product
let's talk a little bit about it now. So um the volume size for this one is 5 litres or
approximately 5 litres versus the plastic and stainless steel one that's around 4.2 litres.
This is made of anodized aluminium or anodized aluminium for our North American friends so
because of that it is going to weather all year round no problem at all. It is attached to your
bike frame with brackets that attach to the top and to the side. So let's now have a
look and see how much kit I can actually get in to this 5 litre volume box. Now
there is a little bit of space left so you could actually get something else
in here but let's have a look and see what I have got in here.
So what I can actually fit in this is a puncture repair kit and a tyre inflator kit.
I have got two bags here to be able to remove the wheels off my bike, break the bead on the bike,
change the tyres and put them back on, so those two bits of kit there they are from Eastbound.
I am going to be doing a review of those later. I have got a leather man and I have got two kind
of alan key sets, one is a torx one is a hex head, so actually all in all you can pretty much
fit quite a lot in these boxes and as I said this toolbox had a bit of space left in it so
ah not a bad size and not bad for the amount of kit you can get into them. So let's talk about the
price of these tool boxes first of all. So let's talk first of all about the plastic and stainless
steel one. So as you can see there are two versions on screen. The one on the left is the one
from Touratech, the one on the right is from, probably China, I think it was China where I
got it from. Now as you can see they are literally identical in every single way, except that is for
the price. The one on the left, the Touratech one runs in at £133 on the Touratech website. The one
on the right runs in at £63, so I am not sure what the additional cost is for the additional £70 for
the Touratech one is, I can't really see that much benefit in terms of cost so I am not sure why you
would you would buy the Touratech one when there is one that is one that is £70 cheaper from China.
It might take you a little bit longer to get but £70 cheaper I think is worth the wait. Now compare
that to this one the anodized aluminium one, this one runs in at £49 and 85 pence on the Wish
website so uh a good price for this um for this aluminium anodized tool box. Not only is bigger
but its also cheaper as well. You may have to factor in postage as well but it's still going to
work out cheaper I think anyway. Now the fitting of this is simply with two U shaped brackets
that uh attach to the frame on your bike or the luggage frame on your bike four nuts and bolts
and they are positioned on these two brackets here so let's get that done and see what it looks like.
So there we go tool box fitted on the bike now and I think it looks really really nice.
Quite like this one, however, the plastic and stainless steel one did just as good a job , now
just remember that 4.2 litres this one is 5 litres and the price difference on this one is a little
bit cheaper as well. So I have no affiliations with the companies that make this at all so
whichever one you decide to buy there is no affiliations for me from that. The
links are in the description below if you want to check out both of those products,
whichever one you go for I hope it works out for you. So that's it for today, thumbs up if
you liked the video also share with somebody else that might be thinking about purchasing
a tool box. But for now thank you very much for watching and I will catch you again very soon.
