1. Best Tool Box
With tons of different verities of shapes, sizes, and materials, it is nearly
impossible to find the best tool box. Especially when there are several
renowned companies like DeWalt, Stanley, Milwaukee, Kennedy makes
work class tool boxes.
Here we have listed the six best tool boxes from the popular brands
available in the market. Our team put together their features
and reviewed them based on practical use and expert’s opinion.
Now, the only thing left is to know your needs and finding them in the
products we reviewed. Once you know why you need the toolbox, it’s
just a matter of time to choose the perfect one.
What is a Toolbox?
A tool box is a box or container which holds and protects tools. It
can be a small container or a large storage system that carries
tools. People used to make toolbox in the 19’Th
century. At first, they were made of Wood. But because we are not in
19th-century we won’t find wood ones. Nowadays metal or plastic is
the material of choice for a toolbox.
They come with a top handle. Sometimes there are only one handle
and sometimes two part handle on both sides to carry them like a
basket. Though they are usually painted but beneath them, there is
supposed to be a coating of Nickel or Chromium.
How to choose a toolbox?
Besides choosing the tools, choosing the perfect toolbox according to
your need is important. But you should keep few things in
mind before buying it.

2. Capacity: Determine how much storage do you want in your box. The
ability of a toolbox depends on how much tools you own. This
capability can be measured as the empty volume inside. Most countries
use Cubic Inches or Cubic Meters as the unit to measure tool
chest capacity. Others use Gallons to indicate the amount. The size can
also be measured on the tools’ mass. The mass unit is mostly in
pounds.
Construction: A heavy construction can save you from lots of trouble
regarding your tools. Impact resistance body is a great plus point for a
sturdy toolbox.
Compartments and drawers: Separate compartments and drawers can
be a helpful identifying tool in the box. Besides they create more
individual space to store the tools. You can also label the drawer once
you buy.
Stainless Body: Rustiness can cause extensive damage to your tools as
well the box. That’s why stainless steel body is crucial for a good quality
toolbox.
Coating: If you don’t find your preferred toolbox with stainless steel
body (Which is not expected) try one with the coating. You pick
one with Nickel or Chromium layer because they serve as a great rust
resistor.
Price: Care about price, but never compromise quality for budget. It’s
better to spend $350 only once rather than spending $250 multiple
times. However, high price doesn’t mean high quality all the time so
consider the other facts and choose wisely.
Handle: Well gripped top handle increases the portability of a toolbox.
Always try to buy toolbox with rubber handle. Rubber easily sticks to
you palm and the toolbox stays safe in your hand.
Material: Most of the chests in the market are made of any metal,
especially steel. But there are some with plastic construction. Though
plastic is very lightweight, you should buy the steel ones, preferably
stainless steel rather than fragile plastic.
