6 Best Toolboxes of 2025 (Tested and Ranked)

This Old House: Toolboxes are an alternative storage method to tool chests or pegboards. They either have wheels or handles, allowing you to take them with you from project to project. However, toolboxes can vary in terms of durability, storage capacity, organization, security, and other factors, making it difficult to know which one will best suit your needs.

While I was initially excited about this article to learn more about toolboxes, I was ultimately surprised at the quality of the analysis done. I do appreciate that the article when to the depth of telling the reader about how they determined which tool boxes to purchase as well as their scoring system, but when looking at these methods, it becomes clear that the scope and scoring of tool boxes could have been improved significantly. While primarily for DIY use, nonetheless there is concern. First, all tool boxes were selected off of Amazon and no other outside research was done into finding alternative options (I was surprised no Milwaukee boxes were shown), and the scoring and testing of the ergonomics and storage of the toolbox did not include any analysis of what kind of tools best fit in the tool box or provide further details on what tools were used in the analysis to test these components. Since the build of each toolbox will be different for each consumer, knowing what was used in the testing is vital information. Overall, more tool boxes from outside Amazon should have been explored and more attention should have been paid to the kind of tools that were accommodated in the analysis.
