I think I need one

Anybody have, or actually seen one of these type toolboxes?

I've seen a few. They don't hold too much, but enough to keep ya happy if you only have so many tools. That kind of plate doesn't really match much though. You can get to your tools quickly, but then again, opening drawers aint that hard ya know.

Useful, just not for me.

Those are made by Montezuma, there are a few forum members here who have that design of box, I finally them pretty cool.

I've got one for my road-trip kit and junkyarding box.

They'd be a GREAT home-owners box, too... they hold a lot more tools than you think. I've got that size (the smallest they make), and it's not fully loaded, but it's bordering on more than I can easily pick up.

I love that box, and if I had a race car, I'd damn sure get the bigger model and load it up in the race trailer.

The design and layout is amazingly efficient.

I remember seeing those type of boxes on some of the service station tow trucks when I was a kid. There's still a few kicking around as road service boxes.

Looking at it it looks to me like it wouldn't be too easy to get at the tools on the bottom behind the sockets. Like how easy can you grab the red pipe wrench and then again put it back in there compared to a drawer. If I needed that shape to fit somewhere maybe but just from the picture I'd add another cabinet with drawers before that thing.

This is my first post after browsing for months... I hope it goves good insite on the boxes

I have the biggest monezuma and it's great for a road box... I have it in the back of my bed where you drop the tail gate.. My work/farm truck has a montezuma on the driverside bed rail and and snap on on the passenger side. The smaller 26 inch snapon. Not a road box.. If I had a dream choice I'd use a montezuma on the bedrail and a snap on road box in the bed behind the tailgate.. I keep my pipe wrenches and really big things in my crossbox.. I have tools for the road and for the shop... I'm not biased as I love snap on. But for sockets, wrenches, hammers, pliers and the usual hand tools a montezuma has much better organization and access... The road box is great for pipe wrenches and air tools and possibly impacts.... Also metrics... That's what my work truck has in the snapon... I don't use metrics much so my truck just has a few metric wrenches and a metric 3/8 socket set...
