For electrical contractors who like to keep their tools organised, the new KNIPEX Modular X18 Electric Backpack (00 21 50 E) and Robust26 Move Electric Tool Case (00 21 33 E) are tough, practical transport solutions that are designed to move tools safely from job to job.
The Modular X18 Electric combines clever layout with comfortable carrying. It opens fully at the front and back, giving a clear view of the tools and includes a removable tool board. A padded back panel means even a full 15kg load is comfortable to carry.
Inside, the backpack has two compartments for tools, test equipment or a tablet, with 21 loops and 37 pockets, some with zips for smaller parts. The waterproof moulded base keeps it upright and stable, while the recycled synthetic fabric is splash-proof and easy to wipe clean. With a capacity of 18 litres and a tested load of up to 15kg, it’s built to take a full working kit.
When the job calls for heavy duty storage, the Robust26 Move Electric steps up. Made from impact resistant polypropylene, it’s dustproof, watertight and temperature resistant from -30°C to +80°C, with an air pressure compensation valve to cope with travel and altitude changes.
The case has 80 insertion options (19 tool pockets and 61 retaining loops) along with a lockable base tray that can be divided using aluminium separators and a document compartment that keeps paperwork protected. It can carry loads up to 25kg and has a telescopic grip handle and smooth running wheels.
David Barnes, Marketing Manager at KNIPEX, said:
‘The Modular X18 Electric Backpack and Robust26 Move Electric Case are serious storage solutions. They are built to handle the daily demands of electrical work with practical layouts, durable materials and a complete selection of trusted tools.’
