Perfect Car Toolbox

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been the perfect toolbox that fits the necessities I need to do minor repairs on my vehicle. The toolbox fits perfectly in my trunk of my car. It comes with a try to hold any smaller tools, nuts/bolts, fuses and more! I love that it has a padlock closure for safe keeping. The material is a heavy duty plastic. It’s lightweight and does the job.

Very lightweight

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am reviewing the Craftsman 16” plastic toolbox. It‘s definitely no-frills option for everyday use. It’s lightweight but feels sturdy enough to handle regular trips around the house. The latch closes securely, & the top tray is great for keeping smaller tools and hardware organized without digging through everything. It’s not meant for heavy-duty storage at all, just basic hand tools, it does exactly what you expect. Overall, it’s dependable, ...

Very useful

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the perfect size toolbox for jobs on the go. Ive been using mine routinely to travel tools from the garage to the house and it has saved me from making numerous trips back and forth. Just put the tools I might need and I am ready to get to work.

Lightweight and rugged

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great portable toolbox! Has a great lightweight and rugged design. Removable inside shelf. Just the right amount of storage for everyday tools. Sturdy fold down handle. My child tried taking off with it for craft supplies. Which made me think this could also work great for craft supplies, makeup, other odds and ends instead of just tools. Good thing this toolbox comes with a spot to put a lock so it doesn't disappear from me. 😁

Lightweight and sturdy!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far it’s been great to keep my everyday tools in one spot. It’s lightweight but still feels sturdy, and the latch stays shut when I’m carrying it around. The handle feels solid even when it’s loaded. There’s plenty of room inside for the basics, hammer, screwdrivers, pliers, tape, and a few extras. The removable tray is really handy for smaller items so I’m not digging around for screws or bits. It’s a simple, no-nonsense toolbox that’s easy...

Nice little pack and go Tool Box, Durable

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice pack and go tool box, durable and the insert does not fall into the bottom of the tool box like other ones i have owned - if you have owned a hand carry tool box you know what i mean, when im doing a small project Im always looking for something to throw the tools i need in for that little job. This tool box is PERFECT, keeps tools together at project and makes it easier to unload tools back into big box when done with project, Latch holds...

Fine

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They don’t really make tool boxes like they used to. This is fine. It’s not great, it’s not terrible. It is simply fine. It’s meant really for someone that just wants a few tools stored in one spot around the house, not for anyone with a lot because it is small. Plastic means it can’t really take a beating and it’s already got some nicks in it just from tossing a screwdriver into it.

Perfect for small jobs

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just started using this tool box and it's perfect for a number of items and it's easy to organize the big and the small tools. The handle is comfortable and it's very durable I've dropped it a couple times. I have screwdrivers, wrenches, hammers and numerous other items going in and out of this toolbox. I would definitely recommend.

Flimsy and absolutely useless garbage

Would Not Recommend

Do NOT buy this. The box is so flimsy that the lid rarely lines up properly to close it. Half of the time the latch comes completely off the lid when you are trying to close the latch. The hinge is loose and the lid becomes unhinged quite often. This toolbox is complete garbage and it is worthless.

Great Product

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tool box is the perfect size to for on the go projects. The size is great for keeping tools in your car so you will always have some tools you may need while away from home. I think it’s great it has two levels so my tools are organized. This is also the perfect size for at home use because I can keep the most used tools in this tool box and grab it whenever needed. This plastic tool box is very durable and well made.

light weight little tool box

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This box is fairly light duty just do to being plastic,if it was metal i think it would hold up a bit better, i noticed when i put a good amount of mechanic tools in it that it seemed to start bowing out a little on the front and back, just due to weight,the tray is nice but tends to fall down if you load the bottom heavy, i have since took my tools out and am using it for ratchet straps in my towing rig, seems to work fairly well for that with...

Fantastic light duty tool box.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my Craftsman 16-inch tool box as a portable box, the small but spacious size makes is great for taking my tools out of larger tool chests and being able to take just what i need to a jobsite. It's nice for the lighter load, maybe you just need a couple wrenches and screwdrivers, toss them in and go... Also makes a great light duty box for a homeowner, you could easily have just about everything you need for light home repair in this box....

Perfect for my every day tools.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Craftsman 16" Classic tool box is spacious. Plenty of room inside for all of my necessary tools. The fold up and down handle is thick and sturdy and handles very well. The closure is perfect for easy open and secure closing. The top tray has perfect grooves to hold the tools as I work. Can be used for DIY or professional jobs. The box itself is plastic and light-weight. Great little tool box to grab and go.

Excellent quality and perfect for everyday use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Craftsman 16-inch Plastic Tool Box exceeded my expectations in every way. Despite its compact size, it has plenty of room for all my essential tools, and the interior tray keeps everything neatly organized.

Portable and Handy!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tool box is perfect for storing a small selection of tools indoors, that I may need for jobs around the house. It conveniently has enough room inside for numerous essential items, and a removable tray for the tools that I use the most. It has a capacity of 16 lb, so it is important not to overload it. It is a lightweight, plastic tool box, but this lends itself to better portability, meaning that I can move it from room to room without ...
