The Best Toolboxes

Tool boxes come in as many shapes and sizes as the tools they carry. The best tool box is the one that safely holds the tools you need on a regular basis. Tool boxes are aluminum, steel, plastic, wood or heavy canvas. Choose a rolling tool box for long-term tool storage, and a smaller option like a tool caddy or a job site tool box to transport tools required for specific repairs.
  1. Rolling Tool Chest

    • Rolling tool chests provide easy access to tools.

      Rolling tool chests are large containers on wheels that you can roll into position in garages or shops. Rolling tool chests typically have several drawers of varying depths to not only store tools but also to keep them organized and grouped together for easy access.

    Job Site Tool Box

    • Job site tool boxes are made to go from job to job.

      A job site tool box is a smaller version of the rolling tool box. It's designed with stacked levels that fold in on themselves. The job site tool box is efficient for sorting through and carrying only the tools required to perform specific functions, rather than hauling every tool to every job site.

    Bucket Caddy

    • Carry bucket caddys along with the bucket they span.

      A bucket caddy is a cross between a tool belt worn around the waist and a traditional job site tool box. Bucket caddies have pockets for sorting and carrying tools, and a caddy fits over the top of a 5-gallon bucket. The pockets of the bucket caddy span the exterior of the bucket, giving this tool box its name.

    Truck Tool Box

    • Truck tool boxes attach to the bed of a truck. Measure the truck bed carefully so the truck tool box you select fits in place. Choose a truck tool box with smart tracks so you can slide smaller trays of tools out of the way and access larger tools below. Inspect the locking mechanism on truck tool boxes. Some use keys while others require a padlock.
