Just so you know, if the Bosch tool has a K at the end of the model number it means that a carrying case is included from Bosch when you purchase the tool.This metal case is way overpriced for what you receive.It will easily dent and scratch from use and in my view the Plastic included case is far superior and much lighter. The Bosch 1594K Planer already comes with a heavy-duty plastic carrying case that fits the Planer well and is larger than this case by several inches--in fact the Planer is packaged inside the plastic case when you receive it and open it. This case will not fit the Bosch 1594K Planer well and is not needed. I bought the 2 together as a package deal from Amazon expecting that this case would fit the Planer and that the Planer came without a case of any kind. If Amazon had informed me of this or just said in the listing that the tool already had a case I would never have purchased this metal case as a package deal.It was a hassle to return it and I felt cheated by the whole experience. Amazon never listed the fact that the case is an extremely tight fit( I could never get my Bosch 1594K Planer inside it).I preferred the Plastic case that came with the Planer from Bosch and returned this case as I viewed it as useless to me.
I do have a Bosch Miter Saw, though, and this heavy duty metal box is great for holding all of the extra parts and accessories for it. This is a great box to have. It has a lot of weight to it, too. This box has foam rubber in the bottom. However, the power planer likely already comes in a plastic, blow-molded case.
Great box for my planer, and I would guess for my next planer and my sons planers.Always amazes me that Bosch hasn't caught on to the fact that when many of us (Most.). A cardboard box is not the answer, nor is and an expensive aftermarket box but I like my basement to look neat so this box is neat.and as solid as you would expect from Germany. buy hand tools we will want to put away neatly after use and don't have huge workshops with big tool cabinets.
