Weatherguard is the best but if you go buy a Kobalt from Lowe's it has a lifetime warranty. I did and I'm glad. Lost my key to my box, took two hours to bust into it to get my stuff out, took it to Lowes all mangled with no receipt, and walked out with a brand new one.

The best ones I have ever seen are the Better Built heavy duty series.

I have seen these at utility company trade shows and they are really nice.

No problem RHR. I bought the biggest they carry (contractor box) in aluminum diamond plate. WeatherGuards keep looking nice because they are clear coated. I clear coated mine in my shop and still looks great after 4 years. They are sealed well and never gotten any dirt or water that leaked in. I can fit a 1,000+ piece set of tools, two props in boxes, cleaning supplies, boat cover, and all tiedowns in it with room to spare.

When I said it took me two hours to get into my first Kobalt box, I was using two pry bars and a 5lb sledge to get my stuff out. I'll attest that they are hell to get in LOL.

Manning supplied a DeeZee on my trailer http://www.deezee.com/ and I'm real happy with it. Doesn't leak a drop.

The "Kobalt" at Lowes is built by Better Built.

I gave my first one away with the truck, and have the big size with the loop pull handles on my new truck. Totally happy with it. Can't beat it for $200 something.

This is a little different design but they will last.

http://www.montezumamfg.com/store/ca...ble-toolboxes/

farmers bolt theses to their combines and service trucks. water and dust tight.

I've been happy with my weatherguard. Don't forget to check Craigslist. I got mine for 1/3 of the price of new and it had never even been installed (out of work construction worker got it as a gift from his in-laws and his truck got re-poed before he had a chance to install it).

I don't like to kick a guy when he is down but he was selling it regardless so it might as well have been to me.
