Electricians demand robust, efficient tool storage solutions today. The KNIPEX Modular X18 Electric Backpack and Robust26 Move Electric Tool Case are engineered to meet these expectations, providing durable and practical options for tool transport. Designed for seamless operation, these products ensure the safe movement of essential equipment across job sites.

The Modular X18 Electric Backpack offers a well-thought-out layout, featuring full front and back openings for easy access to tools. It includes a removable tool board for organised storage and a padded back panel for comfort, even when carrying a full 15kg load. FIDLOCK® connectors, both magnetic and mechanical, secure tools efficiently, while MOLLE webbing provides versatile attachment points for accessories.

Inside, the backpack accommodates tools, test equipment, or a tablet, with 21 loops and 37 pockets, some zippered for small parts. Its waterproof moulded base offers stability, and the recycled synthetic fabric is splash-proof and easy to clean. With an 18-litre capacity and a tested load capacity of up to 15kg, it’s designed for a comprehensive working kit.

When more robust storage is needed, the Robust26 Move Electric Case is ideal. Constructed from impact-resistant polypropylene, it is dustproof, watertight, and temperature-resistant from -30°C to +80°C. An air pressure compensation valve adapts to travel and altitude changes. It features 80 insertion options, a lockable base tray with aluminium separators, and a document compartment. With a load capacity of up to 25kg, it includes a telescopic grip handle and smooth-running wheels.

Both storage solutions come fully stocked with 22 tools, 16 from KNIPEX, such as VDE screwdrivers, the KNIPEX TwinKey® Control Cabinet Key, KNIPEX BiX® Pipe Cutter, KNIPEX ErgoStrip®, and KNIPEX PreciStrip16®. These offerings are designed to endure the daily rigours of electrical work with functional layouts, durable materials, and a comprehensive selection of trusted tools.
