    Hey guys lookin for some toolbox recommendations. I usually put all my tools in a plastic bin and throw it in the truck and take it off once I get home. Tired of doing this all the time. Ive looked online but havent really found anything I've liked as im looking for something a little more low profile and not bulky in the bed of the truck. I'm wondering if any of y'all have any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

    I bought that toolbox over 2 years ago and i couldnt be happier for the price. we get some crazy snow and rain here in NY and i never ever had a leak. haven't had any issues with the lock either. its not the most heavy duty box so keep that in mind if you live in a sketchy area. its easy to break open with a pry bar like most boxes but the area i live in isnt really safe and i haven't had any problems yet. they also have the 24 inch wide model but i didnt wanna kill to much space in the bed so i went with the 12 inch, which surprisingly fit a lot of stuff. ill name some of the things i have in it. full size shovel with short handle, tool bag full of tools, VIAIR 88p compressor, 3 inch 20 foot tow strap, like 10 ratchet straps, first aid kit 6inch by 8 inch bag, trail hitch with 3 balls on it, hatchet, and a bunch of small things im forgetting. so you can fit a decent amount of stuff. also it sits like 4 inches off the bed so u can slide stuff under which is a plus. idk if im forgetting anything else

    I have the UWS box that looks about the same as this guy and am very happy with it, i do wish mine had larger handles like i have seen on weathertech boxes, that said i would never get a non lowprofile one again.
