My tools play an essential role in weekend projects, as well as ensuring I can fix my car if anything goes wrong. Being handy without the right tools can be tough, as it limits what you can do. That said, I always found my tools going missing without the right storage solution.
There are quite a few toolboxes to choose from, which really makes my life easier. If you’re looking for a safe place to put your tools in, then the toolboxes you see below can all be a great addition to your garage.
Stalwart 55 Small Bin Compartment Case
“Absolutely love this organizer! It has bins of different sizes to hold large and small items. I completely eliminated the clutter of random screws and nuts & bolts with this case. The plastic is heavy and solid and I feel the clips will hold it securely shut.”
With this case I can take my whole spare-parts collection with me so the correct screw or bolt is right at hand. No more running downstairs to try a different sized screw. It met my needs perfectly and I will recommend this product.” — Amazon Customer
DEWALT Tool Organizer
“I purchased all of the tough system boxes and wall racks. Converted them into a van rack system. These things are by far the best setup I have used in my van. I am a professional handyman/renovation guy. I do not know how to make the van any more efficient besides some small tweaks and usage of the space behind the boxes. I have added some foldable arms to one side so I can make more room for large packages.” — Chad
DEWALT Medium Tool Box
“I bought this to store all of my Oscillating blades inside a larger tool case that I use for my Oscillating tool and batteries. I removed some of the dividers, which are removable and they fit perfectly in this case. Its not too small or too big. Keeps them secure from moving all over the place inside the larger tool case.” — Amazon Customer
17-Inch Multi-Purpose 3-Layer Toolbox
“My husband tools are scattered all over the garage and I can never find what I need. I’ve slowly built up a good amount useful tools that NO MAN SHALL TOUCH. LOL This tool box works well for what I needed.” — Sandy
GEARWRENCH Steel Tool Box
“This box is perfect for someone who needs a small tool box to easily organize a small set of tools. The quality of the box is on par with any other name brand box. The drawers slide smoothly and there is a detent to hold them in while the top is open. The box is relatively secure but you can pull the drawers out a little bit when it is locked; just barely enough to get a small screw driver in but not enough to “steal” anything. Anyone who gives it a bad review because it was damaged in shipping is doing a disservice to the community. This box is solid and well made. Mine arrived double boxed and surrounded in styrofoam.” — Ryan
Rolling Tool Box
“I have placed all of my rotary tools with their cases (2), 1000s of bits, cut-off blades, etc. in this along with my soldering equipment including heat shrink sleeving, heat shrink gun, solder, paste, etc., my WEN 1/2″ belt sander with extra belts and a dozen or so pliers from needle nose to diagonal cutters in this and still have room for more tools. It is easy to open and close, roll around and store. Now when I work on projects that I need a rotary tool, I can have ALL of my rotary accessories right there and not have to look for them. Same when I solder or sand, etc. It’s cut down on my time to repair and it was easy to organize. Thinking of buying another just for my other specialty tools. I would definitely recommend this. Note – I was not paid for this endorsement in any manner.” — John L.
MAXPOWER 14-inch Tool Box
“The tool box was exactly as described and will serve my light duty and size needs very well. It is not a heavy duty box meant for weighty tools and daily on the job use but it is a good buy for the average homeowner to have have around the house.” — Amazon Customer
DEWALT Extra Large Tool Box
“I ordered four of these bad boys thinking they’d be on the smaller side (in the same ballpark as those clear plastic kit boxes you get when you buy screw assortments), but they’re more like big briefcases. I was a little worried when I saw the size of the Amazon boxes they came in, but I’m very happy with the purchase now that they’re filled with all my garage stuff – I have one for stuff that goes on a drill/driver, one for electrical, one for yard, and one for fasteners.” — Kaveh A.
Montezuma Triangle Toolbox
“I’ve always wanted this box since forever. It’s so versatile that it fits all I need it to. I just wish that I would have gotten it sooner!” — Ricardo
Anyyion 17-inch Tool Box
“I purchased this because my old box had become a bit small. I am very happy with this purchase. I use it for my model rail road equipmentThe box is very sturdy and offers a lot of options. The tray provides a variety of compartment sizes to store small tools and parts. The main box provides lots of room for my solderibng irion, electrical test meter and a lot more. The small detachable compartments on the top are great for organizing small parts.” — Amazon Customer
