Looking for a corrosion resistant toolbox

[tweedlestan]

Hello all, I am in the market for a couple of small toolboxes that will be used in a marine environment. I do NOT want plastic, so I guess that leaves stainless steel and aluminium.

Something like this:

Or perhaps a cantilever-type.

Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

What application in the marine environment?

To store needed tools on an extended sailing trip. Just hand tools to work on the motor and various other hardware on the boat.

Lowes sells drawer liners that have zerus. I use them in my tool box in my garage and it seems to work. I had rust issues before because of condensation. Now it has gone away. So you can get whatever box you want just line it with the zerust liners. They also sell a small packet that is for mobile small boxes like what you are looking for

I know you said you DO NOT want plastic, but why aren't you considering Pelican cases, or some similar variant??

That may help the tools inside, but I can't see how it would prevent the box from rusting.

How about a soft sided bag or are you dead set on metal. Imo You may get annoyed with the sound of the tools tooling around with the boat rocking.

KTC in Japan makes a really nice stainless box. You can get it through garage journal member Frankstools.
