My son is going to school to be a diesel mechanic. We needed this specifically sized tool box for him. What a nice box! This thing is well built. Drawers are nice and hold a ton. I’m jealous, I “need” one of these now!

This is a well built and robust toolbox. The lock operates very smoothly and easily. The large casters let it move around with little effort. Having only four casters on it helps it to get into tight places or right up against walls or equipment. It has plenty of room and then some. I've been working almost exclusively at a mill as an electrician and industrial mechanic, and that is where I keep this. I've got cordless tools, combination wrenches, sockets, hand tools, a deep cut bandsaw, and wire label printers stored in it, and still have more space to fill. It's so nice not having to haul my tools in and out from the truck every week, and I'm making fewer trips for that oddball tool as I continue to add to the tool box.
I had two easily remedied issues with it. First, the non-steering casters were not lined up straight. While pushing the box straight forward, it would drift to the left. All I had to do was loosen the mounting bolts on the casters, twist them straight, and tighten the bolts again. Second, the bolts provided for attaching the handle are M6 x 12mm. That is just barely long enough to bite and hold the handle on. On top of that, the holes in the handle are slotted, so a washer really should be used under the bolt head, but the 12mm bolts are too short to use with a washer. I got some 16mm long bolts and they are just the right length to fully engage the nuts.
I don't know if this is taboo or not, but I added a shelf on the end of the box opposite the handle for extra storage, a light, and a vacuum. The spacing on the mounts for it wound up being just right to get the blind rivets in the structural tubing inside the corners and avoid the locking mechanism. I will eventually add a drop-leaf shelf under the handle, too.

If you're on the border between this and a tool truck box, then this is definitely the box for you. Plenty of space, a really nice working height, fit and finish is what I expect from "better" brands, and shipping was super fast.

Really good toolbox for the money. I like the height, it gives you a nice and comfortable workbench. All drawers close and open smooth. Plenty of space with a good setup. Working as a tech I have to roll my tool box around the shop and this one is really easy to move. Nothing to complain next to a snap on box. Excellent customer service and shipping

If you’re lookin for a toolbox that’s not a snap on, but better than u.s. general; I present to you Gatorbuilt. Paint on outside is amazing. Slides are all smooth, latching handles are satisfying. I was taught that the tool box didn’t matter, but that the tools inside do. This box fits that ideology perfectly. Highly recommend this box

So first off let me give you a little background. I’ve been a mechanic in multiple fields for 11 years. I’ve owned probably 8-10 toolboxes over that time, from U.S. General tool cart to a Snap-On Classic 55”. I’m very OCD about my tools and tool box, and I do a ton of research before I buy anything. Unfortunately I couldn’t find anything about this tool box on the internet, even on the popular GarageJournal.com. But it’s no secret that Strictly Toolboxes and it’s brands put out a quality product for the price they ask, and with rumored quality customer service (which I personally came to experience do to a misunderstanding on my end, yet they still fixed it) I finally decided after hours of research on multiple boxes to take the leap with not only ordering a toolbox that I’ve never seen in person, but buying from Strictly Toolboxes. The shipping was quick for freight to Colorado (less than 10 business days if I recall). The box was packaged very well. Overkill, which is great in my opinion. I highly recommend wearing gloves as they recommend or you’ll cut yourself on the metal tabs, in a rush I didn’t, and cut my fingers a few times. Also recommend at least 1 friend or coworker help you remove box from pallet. Anyway the box arrived undamaged. So I went on to using it for about 2 months now daily in a diesel technician environment. The powder coating seems to be in the higher end of the spectrum, not the strongest I’ve seen, but light years above anything else in the price range. I already have one small chip on front of box due to an idiot coworker letting large axle fall into box. No dent though so that’s good. I’ve easily already opened the top 3 drawers 1000+ times with no signs of any issues to ever happen for a long time. The top drawer has reinforced gussets on the bottom. I think the other 2 long drawers do as well (can’t remember I’m at home and haven’t looked since I bought). The drawer slides are all equal quality to my old snap on box so no complaints their either. The only complaint I have and I plan on warranting the drawers eventually when it gets noticeably worse is the latching system when pulled to open drawers rubs the top rail of the drawer you’re opening and already shows tiny wear/scratch marks. It’s just me being anal but to others who are like me it’ll bother you. I did buy the optional stainless steel too. It’s nice, not magnetic unfortunately like my Snap-On one, but hey it was almost a tenth of the price. I eventually plan on paying to get the top bed lined professionally. I wish they would make the hutch again. I would buy in an instant. Anyway buy the box, it’s awesome for the money, and in my opinion no other brand touches the overall quality, layout, and price.

Take care of your toolbox and it will last you until it pays itself and longer. I’m so glad I got this unknown brand before a snap-on or matco. Definitely the Best Buy for the weight it supports and the size of the drawers. Excellent communication and service ! These gents and ladies really care about what they sell and about the buyer.
Residential Addresses: All residential deliveries will require a delivery appointment.
Commercial Addresses: A delivery appointment is not required, but is highly recommended to ensure a proper inspection by responsible personnel.
*If you do not schedule a delivery appointment, your freight carrier will arrive without notice with your toolbox, and expect that you will be present for inspection.
This step is usually performed directly after your shipping notification is received.
2. PREPARE YOUR RECEIVING AREA
To make the inspection process go as smoothly as possible, please have the tools listed below available as soon as the carrier reaches the delivery point:
LARGE FLAT-HEAD SCREWDRIVER, PRY BAR or CLAW HAMMER
BOX CUTTER
WORK GLOVES
CAMERA or SMARTPHONE CAMERA
ASSISTANT (RECOMMENDED)
CELL PHONE**
Freight carrier drivers typically have 7 – 15 minutes to make a delivery; freight drivers are under no obligation to offer assistance.
3. INSPECT THE OUTER PACKAGING
Use your CAMERA to photograph any damage, and take notes. Examples of damage include, but are not limited to:
BOX CAVING IN, BENT TRIM
HOLES OR TEARS IN CARDBOARD
HOLES CREATED BY A FORKLIFT
ANY EXPOSED METAL
DAMAGE TO BASE
“NO-STACK” CONE ON CARDBOARD PACKAGING IS DESTROYED OR MISSING
In most cases, the outer packaging may display minor damage from general shipping conditions. Any marks or damage on the packaging you see, no matter how trivial, is enough to warrant a complete inspection of your tool box.
If you see any damage at this point,
STOP
NOTE THE DAMAGE ON THE BILL OF LADING and CONTINUE YOUR INSPECTION
***If possible, write on the bill of lading yourself. If the driver insists on being the one to write on the bill of lading, initial their notes showing that you agree with them. If you do not agree with the driver’s notes, DO NOT sign the bill of lading.***
4. UNFASTEN CRATE
Wearing your WORK GLOVES, start with the top panel of the crate
Bend the metal tabs upward in the direction of the slot, straighten the tabs with PLYERS if needed
Remove the top portion of the crate
5. REMOVE PACKAGING
Continue bending the metal tabs, and remove each panel in sequence until the inner packaging is exposed
Lift the cardboard box off, and remove remaining inner packaging and plastic liner
Preserve all packaging and set aside
6. INSPECT TOOLBOX
Inspect your toolbox on each side thoroughly for any dents or scratches
Inspect the powder coat and frame to detect scratches or dents that are less visible
Take clear photos and notes of all damage
If you see any damage at this point,
STOP
CALL US IMMEDIATELY AT: 888.289.1952
DO NOT SIGN FOR THE DELIVERY
UNTIL WE WALK YOU THROUGH HOW TO REFUSE THE DAMAGED ITEM(S)
**this is necessary for your protection in the event of freight damage
7. SIGN FOR YOUR SHIPMENT*
You may sign the bill of lading once the shipment you are accepting has been inspected and declared perfect condition by your own best judgement.
When you sign the bill of lading, you are signing an agreement with the freight company that states that you or an authorized representative has thoroughly inspected the shipment.
Once signed, you agree that you have received the shipment without damage. This agreement also waives any rights to file a freight claim.
*If you have refused the delivery due to damage, YOU MUST call StrictlyToolBoxes.com immediately at 888.289.1952
