Aluminum toolboxes

• A toolbox is a storage device or container to
  organize your hand tools. Traditionally toolboxes
  are supplied fully stocked with tools, however
  these days you can buy tool boxes with aluminum
  inserts and fill it with all your own tools.
• Aluminum toolboxes are a lot cheaper if you have
  your own tools already. Toolboxes come in may
  varieties, whether it is a fixed type, which is
  mounted on a wall like a tool-cabinet. Cabinets
  usually have top or front doors to conceal the
  tools inside and have drawers inside.
• Another type is a mobile type like a cantilever
  toolbox, which you can carry to the job site.
  These usually also have a removable tool tray on
  the top so you can select a few tools to put in
  the tray and take just them to where you are
  working. This tray can also be used when
  dis-assembling many parts you can place them in
  the tray so not to lose anything.

• There is the other mobile type of toolbox, which
  is the roller cabinet, which has castor wheels
  and can be moved about the automotive workshop
  and placed right where you are working. These are
  mostly built with drawers on roller bearings so
  everything is organized into different sections.

  of industries such as electricians, plumbers,
  automotive mechanics, carpenters, diesel

  when lifting a full toolbox.
• Make sure all edges are double ribbed to avoid
  buckling and twisting.
• Ensure the drawers have roller bearing so they
