Apprentice gear for every trade from JBS
JBS : 22 October 2025
Starting out in the trade means every tool counts and so does where you store them. That’s why JBS have introduced the new JBS Tool Storage range, built tough for real workshop life and designed to grow as your kit grows.
This isn’t showroom storage. It’s practical, hard‑wearing gear made for Australian workshops, busy sites, and apprentices who want storage that won’t need replacing after the first year.
Built tough for real workshop life.
Every unit in the new JBS tool storage range is constructed from heavy duty steel and finished to handle everyday trade abuse.
What that means for you:
- Takes knocks, drops, and daily wear
- Built to last through your apprenticeship and beyond
- No flimsy drawers or thin panels
This is storage designed for worksites — not display floors.
Smooth drawers, less rattle.
Jammed drawers and constant rattling slow you down. JBS has focused on smooth‑running drawers, with soft close on most units, to keep tools accessible and reduce wear over time.
Why you’ll notice the difference:
- Easy one‑handed access when you’re mid‑job
- Less banging, less noise, less frustration
- Reduced wear on tools and storage
It feels like quality kit — because it is.
Lock it up and get on with the job.
Shared workshops and busy worksites mean tool security matters. The central locking system keeps everything exactly where you left it.
Why it matters for apprentices:
- Protects your growing investment
- One lock secures all drawers
- Peace of mind in high‑traffic environments
Lock it, roll it, move on.
EVA drawer liners and top mats included.
Every JBS chest and trolley includes EVA drawer liners and top mats as standard — helping protect tools from day one.
Why it matters early on:
- Keeps tools organised and easy to find
- Reduces movement and damage
- Makes missing tools easier to spot
Small detail. Big long‑term payoff.
Storage that grows with you.
Your first year tools won’t look the same as your third or fourth year setup. That’s why the range is available in Standard, Wide, and Superwide configurations. You can start with what fits your space and budget now, then expand as your kit grows — without replacing everything. Start small. Upgrade over time. Everything still fits.

Modular options that let you build over time.
Selected units in the JBS range are ModPak compatible, allowing you to expand your storage setup without starting again.
That’s a big advantage if you’re:
- Buying tools progressively
- Working within a tighter budget
- Planning a proper long‑term workshop setup
You can add pieces as you go, knowing everything will still work together.
