Selection rules
It does not matter for what tasks a box for storing tools is purchased - for professional or household. In any case, it is necessary to approach responsibly to his choice.
There are a few things to consider before purchasing an aluminum box.
First of all, it is worth deciding on the following parameters.
Dimensions. The internal volume of the box will depend on the dimensions of the product.
The larger the dimensions, the more the tool will fit in the container.
If you plan to store small parts, fasteners and other small accessories in a container, it is advisable to take a closer look at the variations with removable trays, organizers and compartments.
If large models are being purchased, it is important that they are equipped with casters. Otherwise, it may be difficult to move structures.
You need to choose products with a metal axis. The design, in which the wheels are fixed with plastic or plastic elements, is short-lived.
It is preferable to choose variations with a lid. It performs an important function - it reliably protects the contents of the tray from moisture, dust and other negative influences.
When choosing an aluminum box, it is important to evaluate its appearance for mechanical damage. A good quality product will not have dents, peeling or swollen paintwork
In addition to a visual assessment, you need to check the reliability of the locks and covers - everything should work flawlessly. If there are difficulties when opening and closing the lid or locks, it is better to refuse to buy - such a product will not last long.

Manufacturing material
Metal boxes - strong and reliable storage for hand and power tools. Various types of metal are used for the production of such products. Containers are made of stainless steel, aluminum and its alloy, iron or steel. Drawers made of different materials have certain characteristics.
The most popular tool storage containers are aluminum solutions. This metal is strong and durable. It is most often used in the manufacture of boxes due to its lightness.
An iron or steel box is a heavy structure designed to transport bulky tools or electrical equipment. Such a product has sufficient rigidity in order to protect its contents from various mechanical influences.
Any metal boxes are coated with anti-corrosion compounds to protect them from premature rusting. It is worth considering that the protective film wears off over time, which is why the containers should be periodically restored. So they will last longer without losing aesthetics.
