Continuing the series we’ve got going on “what I own” I decided to put together a list of cheap tool boxes (I’ve got 5) and some advice on finding the best cheap tool box.
Cheap Tool Boxes – Plastic Version
This Stanley 16-Inch Tool Box is almost exactly like the one I have and use the most. The main reason I really like this one is the two top compartments for quick access to the sockets and other household tools I use most. If you’re looking for the cheapest possible box this one is definitely for you. Remember that this box is only 16 inches long though so if you have any really long tools it might not be the best sized box for you.
Cheap Tool Boxes – Metal Version
I know not everyone is a fan of plastic tool boxes which I totally understand, my Dad is actually prefers metal tool boxes. Again for the money this Stack-On 16-Inch Metal Tool Box is my personal choice. It’s got a really nice tough plastic tray insert and all the reviews have been really positive. Of the 9 reviews it currently has 7 of them are 5 stars and the last 2 are four stars. One reviewer even pointed out that this entire box is made in the USA.
Cheap Tool Boxes – With Drawers
This HOMAK 3 Drawer Tool Box is a little bit more expensive than the other two models listed above, but if you have a lot of sockets and hand tools that are flat this is a great option. I have a model almost exactly like that I have sitting on my work bench in the garage.
From the looking I can do around the internet these are two of the cheapest tool boxes out there. If you want to search around Amazon for some of their other tool boxes that might also work for what you need click here: Amazon’s Best Tool Boxes
