Product Information

The most popular tool storage units are made of aluminum. This metal is strong and durable. It is most often used in the manufacture of boxes due to lightness.

The classic metal tool box with a flip-open lid is a hand-carry tool box. Tough and durable, these sturdy boxes are excellent for pros and DIYers alike. A metal tool box is an old-school tool storage option that can hold a lot of weight. Stainless steel and aluminum are rust-resistant but expensive, while steel is affordable but can rust when scratched. Drawers and Dividers It's admittedly not the cheapest steel tool box available, but the Trusco 14-Inch 2-Level Steel Tool Box is likely the most attractive, as well as the best designed. This Japanese-made blue steel tool box opens from the center, revealing a large inner compartment topped by a a split upper compartment that glides outwards smoothly without fiddly latches or clasps. Each half of the upper level has five compartments, but if desired, you can remove the dividers to create a larger space. If you want a sturdy tool box that’s big enough to hold the essentials plus some extras, but not so large that it’s difficult to lift or store, then you’ll appreciate the DEWALT TSTAK Deep Toolbox with Long Handle. But if you just need an inexpensive tool box for a basic home tool kit or to use as your emergency tool box, then the Plano Grab-N-Go 16-Inch Tool Box is the best choice. What to Look for in a Tool Box Size and Storage Capacity For a mechanic’s tool chest, look for durable ball bearing-style casters that roll easily and swivel. These casters allow the tool box to roll and maneuver easily.After A/B tests of 30 cantilever boxes, I shortlisted the below rating. My final choice was given to reputable brands that manufacture reliable models – Trusco, Tactix, Stalwart, Homak Industrial, Kennedy Manufacturing, etc. There are 4 different shapes of toolboxes that we sell (regardless of whether they are Trusco or Toyo): A cantilever toolbox is used for professional technicians, who at the same time require storage space and portability. These storage units are made of plastic or metal and have a solid structure. Typically, such toolboxes have a sliding lid that opens a few foldable compartments. Look for a tool box that’s large enough to hold everything you need, but still light and durable enough to hold up. Steel construction is great, but hard-working resins are also useful, and they’re usually much lighter. Q. Why are most tool boxes red? Japanese pressed steel tool boxes are our particular favourites - to both use and sell. They are simplicity personified. They do exactly what you need, nothing more. Apart from looking just great. Meaning they work really well about the house or they add a touch of colour to the workshop or garage (as well as keeping your tools safely stored and organised).

There are several methods for cleaning aluminum and other metals using DIY formulas, as well as commercially manufactured products. Home remedies include different mixtures of vinegar, baking soda, salt, and water. Manufactured chemicals will be labeled specifically for cleaning aluminum. Manufacturers use different types of materials to build tool boxes, usually plastic or metal. Some plastic tool boxes are very durable, and they have many benefits: They don’t dent or rust, and they won’t dull sharp tools like chisels and saws. Look for a model made from a durable resin.This complete set of heat-treated, chrome-plated tools is built tough to handle the wear and tear of any project. It's also an ideal option for experienced DIYers to keep on hand for those unexpected repairs or projects. With dimensions of 14.7 inches in length, 8.9 inches in depth, and 2.6 inches in height, the box is both compact and durable.

Usually, toolboxes are made of stainless steel, aluminum and different alloys based on iron or steel. Finished in Bright Red, Silver, Green, Blue or Olive (we are struggling to source some colours from Trusco at the moment. If you are looking for Blue or Olive have a look at the alternative branded box below) Freilich gibt es eine Menge funktionale Werkzeugboxen, die auch günstiger und, weil aus Kunststoff, etwas leichter sind als dieser klassische Metallkasten. Aber bei diesem Werkzeugkasten geht es eben auch um Design und Ästhetik. Und das Modell von Trusco (gefertigt vom bekannten japanischen Metallwarenhersteller Toyo) bringt nun beides zusammen: Design und Funktion. Es passt alles rein was man als Werkzeugsortiment als griffbereite Kiste im Haushalt braucht (Hammer, Zangen, Schraubendreher, -Schlüssel, Wasserwaage, ...) und bietet zudem durch die variabel abtrennbaren Fächer in der oberen Etage reichlich Möglichkeiten Kleinkram (Nägel, Schrauben, Dübel, Klemmen,...) unterzubringen.

Organizing the small bits and pieces for a DIY project can be quite a headache. Instead of throwing those pieces in a brown bag, organize them with the Resin Cantilever Tool Box from KETER.

She has extensive experience not only in writing about all things related to the home, but also in carrying out various DIY projects, including landscaping, painting, flooring, wallpapering, furniture makeovers, and simple repairs around the house and yard. One of these companies is Trusco - which is a great and popular Japanese brand. Trusco have some colours that are specific to them and Toyo has some colours that are specific to them.It isn’t often that a product surprises me enough to take the top spot during a hands-on review, but I really liked the Trusco. Compared to other boxes of its size, it’s made with much higher quality metal, and the fit and finish were spot on. With the box fully loaded, the metal handles were remarkably comfortable to hold. I was able to fit almost all of my typical hand tools in the box, save for a speed square, staple gun, and one screwdriver. The one issue I found was it doesn’t have a latch, which I would prefer for transport. Iron or steel tool boxes usually have a heavy structure designed to transport large tools or electrical gear. Such a product has sufficient rigidity to protect its contents from various mechanical influences. Before shopping for the best tool box, become familiar with the various types on the market, ranging from the classic metal box with a carry handle to full-blown workstations that can organize an entire workshop. This section explains the different types of tool boxes and what DIYers need to know about them. Hand Carry The number of compartments inside the box is a relative criterion. Someone is going to store only small tools inside (the more compartments, the better), and someone only has a few larger tools he or she needs daily.
