Truck Tool Boxes: Everything You
Need To Know
Truck tool boxes are a great way to add extra storage to your truck. If you’re looking for a safe, waterproof storage option for your tuck, a truck tool box is the best option.
With so many options, selecting the right truck tool box can be a tough decision. Would you prefer an entry level or a heavy-duty truck tool box? At Truck 'N Trailers USA, we’ve been helping people make the right choices for more than 20 years.
Before buying a truck tool box, you have to ask yourself one, very important question:
What is the value of everything that you will be keeping in your tool box?
Do you have $500 worth of tools and belongings to store or is it $5,000? The value of what you plan to keep in your truck tool box will help you make the right decision.
To help you make the right decision, we’ve provided a list of what you need to know before you buy a truck tool box. Two of the best brands to consider are WEATHER GUARD and United Welding.
Entry Level Boxes: Avoid Them At All Costs
A lot of the big-box stores, such as Wal-Mart, carry brand-name truck tool boxes at low prices. Unfortunately, the savings is deceiving. You end up getting what you paid for.
Most of these cheaper truck tool boxes are stripped own models that have:
- Thinner gauge aluminum
- Square-angled lids that don’t have the strength of a better quality box
- Lighter weight locking mechanism
- A low-quality seal that allows the elements (water, dirt) to get into the tool box
- No interior tray
- Few choices in sizes
As a rule of thumb, avoid buying your truck tool box from a big box store.
WEATHER GUARD: Protect Your Tools From Thieves And Weather
Heavy-duty truck tool boxes have the features and security that entry-level truck tool boxes lack. The difference in price between an entry level and a heavy-duty tool box is in most cases is less than your insurance deductible.

- Stronger hinges for durability and security

Buying a heavy-duty truck tool box, such as WEATHER GUARD, will help keep your tools safe from thieves as well as the weather.
