Amazing Value, High Quality!!
I've owned this box for 4 months now, and I'm absolutely amazed at the quality of this tool cabinet. The drawers pull out all the way, giving you easy access to tools at the back of the drawer. The locking top drawer (top right) is perfect for writing notes, and info onto R.O.'s, in the event you have parts on top of the box, and the locking top on the drawer is very sturdy! The toolbox drawers are advertised to hold 250lbs max, and they live up to their names! They're extremely sturdy, don't wiggle and I don't think twice about them binding up while closing. Each drawer comes with its own liners, and the tool box comes with different detents for the drawers so you can modify the amount of pull you need to open the drawers. The details on this tool cabinet really make it worth the purchase alone, the drawer handles are screwed onto the drawers, and are one solid piece of metal. No sliding shiny covers, no locks that you have to slide to open the drawer, you don't have to lift up the handle to open the drawer, just pull. And these drawers by NO means will open on their own, or slowly creep open, the detents work perfectly. The toolbox has 6 caster wheels, making really maneuverable, and easy to roll. The handle that comes with the box also makes moving it easier, the handle is like a bicycles handles, two bars with rubber grips, make it easy to get a good grip, and get the tool box to move where you want it to, which is helpful because when this tool cabinet is loaded, it gets pretty darn heavy! If I ever run out of space in this toolbox, I'd definitely purchase another and put it next to my current one.
I was on the verge of spending $10,000 dollars on a similar tool box by another big brand, and am definitely glad I went with this tool cabinet. It's an amazing toolbox and I have no regrets purchasing it. I've had many techs from my dealership, and from neighboring dealers come and look at it, and all of them were impressed by the build quality of this tool cabinet. I'd definitely recommended they consider purchasing this toolbox from here, because of the amazing customer service strictly toolboxes offers, they treated me with respect, and were VERY courteous, and shipping/delivery was a breeze. If I had a choice to choose between buying this toolbox from here, and buying one from a big brand, I wouldn't think twice about the big brand.

I love it
It's a great toolbox, they are really tough and have a lot of space. The price its worth every penny compared to other toolboxes. I paid 1/4th the price for a better toolbox. (Posted on 3/20/12)

Extreme EX7217RC & Montazuma MTZ-IM350 Toolboxes
I purchased the Montezuma MTZ-IM350 Toolbox and the Extreme Toolbox EX7217RC. What a surprise when out of the crate jumped this girl to help me with my tools :) :) , WOW! I used her for days to get all my tools straightened up, Shanon you are the man... LOL
Shanon recommended the Montezuma for the organizational capabilities of the sockets and wrenches with such easy access, while recommending the Extreme for the rest of the Misc. tools. And he was absolutely right. One flick of the Montazuma's handle and it springs open giving you instant access to the most used tools in the shop. So, I placed it right on top of the Extreme box, In the Extreme box I placed everything else I can imagine would fit (Accept the girl) :( :( I spent days and days reading reviews and pricing different toolboxes, Strictly Toolboxes beat everyone's price even a guy on Ebay who couldn't deliver. They are built so well, I set the drawers like a staircase so that girl in the photo actually walked to the top of the toolchest using the drawers (I had to hold her for safety of course.. :) :) I also added the optional wheels, I call them spinners, I got them because they just make the box look even better.. Both boxes are rugged, heavy duty and seemingly bullet proof. Delivery was quick and punctual, communication from Strictly Tool Boxes about time of arrival and etc. was phenomenal. Their is only 2 things I can say to improve these boxes, 1) is if you made that bottom drawer 4 inches deeper I could fit that girl in there,,, :) and 2) The matting that comes from the factory in the Extreme drawers isn't the best, Once you have your tools all freakishly organized like I do, when you close the drawers they tend to slide back just a little each time with all your tools on them.. Its not a big deal it was just annoying to open my tool drawer and find the padding shifted back 1/4 inch.. Doesn’t seem to be enough friction in the rubber mating to hold them in place, however it was easily fixed by purchasing third party tool drawer padding.. Now this setup is perfection at its finest.. :) And that’s just the way I ROLL.. :) :)

EXTREMELY HAPPY
I purchased this roll cabinet to go under the 55' Pro top chest I bought at the same time. From the time I started to unpack the boxes, to cleaning up the packaging other Techs where EXTREMELY impressed. It is built second to none, looks second to none and works second to none. (Posted on 1/3/12)

Excellent toolbox for the price.
I am a 10 year professional auto tech. I bought the 72" Pro box when I needed more toolbox space. I have previously owned truck brand toolbox's. I would have bought another toolbox off the truck, but I was having a hard time justifying the 10K price tag. For less than half the price I bought the Extreme toolbox. I have been using the toolbox daily for over a month now. The Extreme toolbox seams very well built and I don't feel it is any lower quality than a toolbox off the tool truck. This is a very heavy and solid box, it takes some serious effort to move it around.
Dealing with strictlytoolboxs.com was very pleasant, they were quick to return emails and calls. I had the toolbox less than a week after ordering it. The toolbox came on a heavy wooden pallet in a wooden crate. It was very well packaged.
The finish of the toolbox is very nice, the paint has a nice glossy look to it. The drawer handles have a very solid quality feel to them. The drawer slides are smooth, even on my heaviest loaded drawers. The included stainless top makes a nice work surface, and I have yet to dent it. One feature that would make the top a bit nicer would be a raised edge on the front to prevent tools from rolling off.
The locking system works better than any other toolbox I have owned. The drawers have spring loaded catches on them so if the toolbox is locked with a drawer open, the drawer can still be shut and locked.
My only serious complaint with the toolbox is the detent system used to keep the drawers shut. They are very stiff and it takes a solid push and pull to shut and open the drawers. Each time I do this all the tools in the drawer slide back and forth. The drawer liners are run of the mill foam liners and not very tacky.
Overall I am very happy with the toolbox for the money paid. I feel this is a toolbox that will last a long time even in a daily use situation.

72" professional tool box
I am very impressed with this tool box. It is very well made and the quality easily compares to the big name tool box companies that are two or three times the cost. I have passed your name on to 6-8 people that are looking to buy and can't believe the quality for the price. (Posted on 7/29/11)
Review by George E. from Haverhill, Mass
Great
Great tool box. Had a slight problem with the locks nothing major. What I was most impressed with was the service. Delivery was great. I had a nice driver. I think he was just as anxious as me to see the box, he was very helpful. If your thinking about buying this box and can't afford it, don't feel bad about getting the cheaper one. This one is a tank! The cheaper one is only 100lb less I have a felling I would've of been happy with that one as well, but I don't regret buying this one. Good Luck (Posted on 4/10/11)

Just received the box only four days after ordering! Very happy with the quality. Had a minor problem with one of the locks and it was replaced quickly. I have recommended this box to a number of friends. (Posted on 12/7/09)
Review by Biker
Can't believe the quality or the weight.
I ordered the box and it came in 5 days packaged like it was family heirloom. After I opened it, I couldn't believe the quality of the paint job, the thickness of the metal, I compared it to my coworkers boxes which are all the other brands that cost 2 or 3 times more and I wouldn't trade mine for any of them. This is by far the nicest box with add on components available if needed to create the "Ultimate Monster Box". I e-mailed a message requesting information and within 1/2 hour I recieved a phone call giving me the information I requested. The service was awesome. I don't know if I'll ever need another box, but if I do I'd buy it here, as I shopped other vendors and nobody could beat the price here. (Posted on 12/2/09)
Review by Rob
Excellent Tool Box, Awsome price. Great shipping and packed Great
Let me start by telling you I have been an ASE professional Automotive Technician for 14 years. My prior Tool box was a Mxc toolbox, and the majority of my tools are Mxc, Sxxx-Ox, and Maxxo. My Mxx box was overfilled with all the tools I bought over the years and it was time to upgrade. I shopped Sxxx-Ox and Mxxxo for approx 2 years, waiting for that GREAT deal on a DREAM box that never came around. Even though they were giving me double in trade in value of what my Mxc box cost originally, it was still going to cost me approx $5500-$7000 for the box I wanted. I decided to search the Net to see what other alternatives were out there. I believe in Quailty foremost, while my Mxc tool box lasted 12 years and still worked great, I did not want to by any junk. I searched the cxxxxman Professional line of tool boxes, but there boxes are almost as expensive as the Big three. Then I found out about Extreme Tool boxes. It sound like a great deal, but how is the quality?? Made in China? I had read a lot of reviews found here and on Garage Journal, and everyone who has bought this box has spoken VERY highly about it. So I called Shannon on Tuesday Morning, whipped out the plastic and gave it a shot. To be honest, I was not very excited about it, and I wasn't expecting anything special. I figured I was settling for the cheapest I could find. He said it would be at my Dealership no latter then Friday of the same week, and it was. Shipping was great. This tool box was packaged Great! The Fed Ex guy said he delivered a lot of Sxxx-Ox tool boxes and none of them were ever packaged that good. After I removed everything and seen the box, I said Holy Sh*t, this thing is big! I opened and closed a couple of drawers, and thought I had bought a Mxxco Box! This box is built like a tank! The drawers slide great, close tightly. Paint is nice and smooth and clean, and NO SPOT WELDS!!! Every top of the line box I had ever seen always had ugly spot welds on the front of the drawers, but hey what do you expect for $15000. Everyone in the shop was extremely impressed with the box, and the PRICE!. Now, it might not be the best quality box ever made, but I can tell you it's just as good as a Mxc, Sxxx-On, or Mxxxo Box for 1/3 the price. It is the best, smartest purchased I have ever made. I will say if you are a Professional Mechanic and looking for a new box, don't hesitate to buy this tool box. (Posted on 9/11/09)

Very good buy, great box and service
After looking at toolboxes, I decided to go with extreme 72 inch tool box. I couldn't be happier with this box, it was everything I expected and more. Each drawers are very big and very solid, . I would recommend it to anyone, it has the same quality as the big name boxes but 1/2 the price. (Posted on 1/23/09)

Review by Isaac
WOW, what a box
So i bought this toolbox out of spite. The tech that works next to me just spent over $5000 on a 56" Sxxx Ox box. That was in addition to $2000 for his trade in. I wanted to make him jealous. I think it worked. When I saw his Sxxx Ox box I was disappointed in its quality. They are nothing like they were in the past. The drawers sag and there is handles are crap. When my box was droped off I was blown away. If it wasn't for the logo i would have sworn it was a Mxxxxo. The drawer look almost the same as dose the layout.
The action on the drawers is mostly smooth but they are a bit hard to close to the lock position and it takes some force to open when loaded. I think this will loosen up with some use. The slides seem like there high quality. All the drawers except the shallow ones have 2 slides per side. This is more than i can say for the Sxxx Ox that has 2 on the top drawer and one on all the rest. The drawer pulls look great but are attached by screws from the inside. This wouldn't be a problem except the drawer front is double wall and theirs a small empty space in it. I'm worried that they may loosen up after time. I don't think this will be a problem that cant be fixed with a screwdriver.
The stainless steel top was nice and solid but it is not smooth. It feels like brushed aluminum. I think its going to stain easily. It is also totally flat, there no lip on the front to keep a socket from rolling off.
As for the frame itself it is very solid. I have not removed the drawrs to inspect the inside but from the outside it looks great. The finish if perfect. It looks as good as any toolbox i have seen. I got the closeout 2007 model and it didn't have the spring loaded casters. It would have been nice but not worth the $450 price tag. I think i can find them for less.
All in all this is by far the best tool box for the price. I'm my opinion this is as good or better than any of the big three tool truck brands. There's about 40 or 50 people and they all were amazed at the quality and no one could believe the price i payed. All the thing i mentioned were more for clarification that the pictures don't show. If you get this box you will be happy. (Posted on 6/8/09)

Review by "OKIE67"
The Smartest Decesion I Ever Made On A Tool Purchase!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Purchased one of the 2007 closeout boxes and was "extremely worried", this is three times more money than I have ever spent on a tool box. I had never seen an Extreme tool box. It took me 2 weeks debating the issue to decide to make the purchase, and it took 5 days for shipping after my purchase and I was worried I had wasted $3,000. I ordered "Blue" and let me tell you when I pulled that crate off the truck and opened it, everyone at work and a few truckers that were in are shop having repairs done and even the delivery driver waited around to see it, they all said if they could give their children 1 x-mas gift in their life that would lite their face up the way mine lit up when I opened the crate their life would be complete. Each morning when I get to work I love seeing that box. We have guys with Sxxx-xn, Mxc, Mxxxo and Wxxxxloo boxes and none of them compare in quality, let alone value. I plan to add on to this box in the future but I cannot see ever replacing it. This box is everything Shannon promised me and more, I would recommend it to anyone who really wants a high quality box and never thaught they would be able to afford one. We have 1 guy in our shop with a $24,000. Mxxxo box that was custom built and he cried when I told him what mine cost. I am very impressed with all aspects of the quality of this box.

Best investment I ever made.
Well built and has plenty of room for my tools plus. Rolls great with the faultless casters and the brakes hold great. Everyone who has seen my toolbox really likes it, even my "Sxxx-Ox" dealer likes it but is upset that I didn't buy a toolbox from her for three times the price. I'm telling everyone to go to Strictly Toolboxes.com. (Posted on 2/22/09)
