A Toolbox Has to Earn Its Ride in the Truck

We've all had those cheap toolboxes. The lid doesn't shut right after a few months, the latches break, the handle starts feeling loose, and before long you're picking your tools up out of the back of the truck. That's why we're a little picky about what rides with us every day. The DEWALT TSTAK Extra Large Toolbox has taken its share of abuse on our job sites, and it keeps showing up ready for another day. It gets thrown in the truck, stacked with materials, slid across concrete floors, and buried under everything else we haul around. That's just life in construction.


What we like about it is it doesn't try to be something it isn't. It's a solid box with plenty of room for the tools we're always reaching for. The removable tray keeps the little stuff from disappearing into the bottom, and there's enough space underneath for drills, impacts, batteries, hand tools, and whatever else the day's work calls for. The lid keeps dust, dirt, and the occasional rain shower from getting to your gear, and that's important because tools aren't getting any cheaper. Around here, we take care of our equipment because our equipment helps put food on the table.


At The Mental Craftsman, we don't recommend gear because it's new or because it looks good sitting on a shelf. We talk about the stuff that's been bounced around in the back of a work truck, hauled onto job sites, and put to workday after day. If you're looking for a toolbox that's built for the real world instead of a showroom floor, the DEWALT TSTAK is worth a look.

It doesn't cost you anything extra, and it helps us keep creating content for hardworking blue-collar men and women.
