Store-Safe, South Granville, NSW

With $609.36 in the bank and working from home, Store-Safe's founder and Managing Director, Grant Breeze (then a security consultant) went about designing and building the first Store-Safe toolbox. With the tradesman's question in the back of his mind, Grant examined hundreds of tool boxes, found their weaknesses and built a unique tool box prototype: no exposed hinges, strengthened steel and a unique locking mechanism. The patented theft deterrent features of the boxes held Store-Safe in good stead with tradesmen and the boxes sold slowly: one or two a week.
