Product Information

For rolling boxes, I added power tools to the mix. I loaded all of the standard hand tools, as well as a circular saw, a reciprocating saw, a drill, and even some framing hammers and hatchets. I then closed them up, lifted them, and rolled them from the workbench to the vehicle several times.

You can get away with only a little plastic toolbox if you are a homeowner who wants to do the odd DIY home renovation. However, if you’re a carpenter or DIY mechanic you’ll need a bigger, heavier box to house all your tools. The largest storage units are typically targeted at DIY enthusiasts but the specialists and have a wide range of equipment and hardware.

Those looking for lots of organization need a toolbox with drawers and dividers. Many plastic models have removable compartments with snapping lids that help secure smaller bits, pieces, fasteners, and hardware. Some tool boxes have removable trays, which help keep smaller hand tools organized while leaving the bottom open for larger tools like hammers and saws.

These boxes come in a range of lengths and depths. Old-school carpenters like long, tall boxes to fit their hand saws, while plumbers might prefer a more compact box for pipe wrenches and pump pliers. A DIYer might appreciate something in the middle: long enough to hold a box saw, but compact enough to not be too cumbersome.

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. 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. When shopping for the best tool box, keep the following factors and features in mind. Size and Weight
