Tool Boxes FAQ
How do you choose a toolbox?
When choosing a toolbox, you first need to think about what tools you have to store, their size, and whether you’ll need to transport them.
Frequently carting tools between different worksites? Then a truck tool box may be the way to go. These tough storage heroes are designed to fit snugly into your vehicle, travelling with you from job to job. With rust, corrosion and UV protection, they’ll always go the distance—no matter how far you’re headed.
If your tools are staying in one location and there’s a lot of them, then a tool chest could be just the ticket. Got a lot of smaller tools that need organising? Get your hands on the easy-to-access tiered storage of a cantilever tool box or the practicality of a tool box with drawers. If you’re needing to move your tools around a large workshop, like in the automotive industry, then a trolley or rolling tool box can provide the portability you need.
Tool boxes can be made from lightweight plastic to durable metal, in different shapes and sizes to suit all different uses and needs. To decide which one’s best for you, check out the range online, or come into Tool Kit Depot and chat with our friendly team.
Are truck tool boxes universal?
Truck tool boxes are designed to be mounted on your ute or truck tray, so you can transport tools between worksites and keep them safe and secure. Whilst they’re often made in sizes to fit popular vehicles, there isn’t a set universal size. When choosing the best box for your ute or truck, you’ll need to carefully measure the internal tray dimensions, and consider where you’ll be mounting your tool boxes:
Crossbed: Offering ample storage without taking up too much space, crossbed tool boxes are mounted behind the cab, across the ute tray, resting on the tray rails.
Side-mounted: These tool boxes are positioned along the side of the tray, end-on to the back of the vehicle. This makes them easier to access without having to climb into the tray itself.
Underbody: These tool boxes are a great option for extra storage in higher-set vehicles, maximising tray space by mounting the toolboxes underneath the truck or ute.
What should be inside a tool box?
What tools you choose to place in your tool box is up to you. All tools benefit from being kept in a cool dry place, out of direct sunlight and the extremes of the weather, and helps avoid unnecessary wear and tear. A small toolbox is a great spot to stash your smaller hand tools, or your sockets and drill bits. For bigger tools like your cordless or corded power tools, a heavy-duty tool case provides protection on a larger scale. They can also be weather resistant and lockable for added security on construction worksites or off-site jobs.
Are plastic tool boxes good?
Lightweight, rust-proof and affordable, plastic tool boxes can be a good option for tool storage. Smaller items like your fasteners and bits can be efficiently sorted by size in the individual compartments of a plastic tool organiser, making finding the one you need a breeze. A large black tool box on the other hand, can house all your bigger tools in its heavy-duty polymer case. With wheels making it easily portable, and water submersion protection, it’s perfect for working in wild weather or around water.
