Jobsite boxes are excellent alternatives to standard toolboxes for those who prefer a more heavy-duty way of storing their tools or who have larger than average tools. Jobsite boxes tend to be sturdier and offer more protection than standard, everyday toolboxes. Most offer extra storage space for tools as well, some even possessing multiple layers. Jobsite boxes work well for welders, carpenters, and builders to keep their tools organized, secure, and portable. Here are some jobsite toolboxes we recommend.

What Should You Consider in a Jobsite Box?

Look for these things when buying a jobsite box.

• Portability: Because jobsite boxes are made of such heavy-duty materials, they tend to be quite heavy. Look for something made of lighter material with a handle if you want portability,  a huge steel jobsite box with space at the bottom for forklift access, or a set that comes with a dolly or wheels.
• Customization: Some jobsite boxes come with extra layers or dividers that allow you to organize your tools in a more orderly fashion.
• Weatherproofing: If you use your tools for a lot of outdoor projects, it might be wise to invest in a jobsite box that has a weather seal or some other form of added protection against the elements.
• Size: Though jobsite boxes tend to be used for larger tools, it’s not impossible to find smaller options for more common household tools. There are also extra-large options available for your really bulky, heavy tools.

Most Durable: DEWALT Tough System Tool Box

This extra-large open tote style jobsite box has plenty of storage space for all your tools. The box’s walls are a solid 4 millimeters thick. The central locking mechanism keeps the box secure against the frame, and the two side handles make it easy for you to pick up and carry as needed. The integrated water seal will protect your tools from the elements. The interior vertical compartments allow you to organize your tools as you please and can be removed if desired. A removable tray for your hand tools also comes included. If you choose to buy multiples of this jobsite box, the side latches allow you to stack them seamlessly on top of each other.

Each of the three jobsite boxes is weather-sealed for outdoor projects and has metal reinforced corners for extra protection.
