Materials

When it comes to quality, nothing compares to a steel box. But aluminum is also popular because it won't rust. If you just want an inexpensive box to store things like jumper cables and tie-downs, you can opt for a plastic box.

Drawers

It's important how many drawers you have in your toolbox. You need to make sure that not only do you have enough space to store all your tools but that they are wide enough to accommodate the length and height of your tools.

Capacity

When you buy a toolbox, you need to consider not only how many tools you currently want to store in it, but also how many tools you think you might buy in the near future, because they will eventually need a home in your toolbox as well.

Durability

A toolbox is an investment, and a quality toolbox will last a long time. That's why you need to pay attention to the materials used to make your toolbox.

Locks

One of the main reasons for using a toolbox is to ensure the security of your tools. Therefore, a toolbox needs to have a well-designed locking system. Some boxes have an internal locking system that covers the drawer after you close the top lid, while others have a key-operated lock to provide additional security.

Convenience

A good quality lock should operate smoothly and be easy to open. The gas lift should open and close the lid quickly.
