When you work in construction you really need gear that you can count. I need tough, durable, and long-term sustainable materials. I was a carpenter for many years now, so I'm always hearing different opinions about new products, so I decided to throw my two cents about Delta and Dee Zee tool boxes. I think it is less important to choose a brand and more important to choose the right product for you. I have been installing cabinets and trim in houses for 13 years now. It began as a summer job for my uncle Ed's house I was at summer school and looking to make extra dough, so my uncle on the occasion, I worked for my Uncle install trim on new construction. I was not used to manual labor, but I'm used to it real quick. And I found that I liked. I did not break my back, but I want to make my own hours, work at my own pace, and working with my hands. Very quickly, I bought my own tools and truck and started my own business. Now, anyone in this work, as you tell how your tools are. They are your livelihood, they have dinner on the table. I have heard horror stories of guys leaving their tools in their truck bed, to enter a house, and return to find their material disappeared. This would be a nightmare. I spent thousands of dollars on my tools and got used to using my specific game. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I when I look at my hammer, I see all the nicks and chips in and it reminds me of all my jobs. Sorry, I do not want to get all sentimental on you, but I just want to say that a worker's tools are very important. I met many people working at all the different sites, and found that people are always walking in and out of construction sites. Some of them are good, but most of them are not the best guy to say the least. They have no problem walking out of your new saw. Anyway, I use a tool box lockable heavy if my tools are not on the back of my mind while I work. I heard that guys arguing over Delta and Dee Zee brand, but what is really the difference? I chose a brand of my wheel wells and another for storing massive crossover. Rather than listening to a group of Schmucks, go out and do research and find the box that best fits your situation. It's not rocket science.
I chose to put the Delta tool boxes on my wheel arches because I think they have a little more Dee Zee wheel well toolboxes. But I went with the lid Dee Zee single box too much for the bed of my truck, because he had a lifetime warranty.
