Montezuma Elite 72x30 17 Drawer
Of all the tool boxes I have checked out, this one gets the trophy! I have studied every make and model from the most expensive Snap-On to Kobalt, Craftsman to Harbor Freight, Matco to Husky, and Montezuma could not be beat. Price, storage capacities, weight capacities, quality of material and workmanship, ease of ordering, courtesy of employee, and delivery time were all outstanding. I highly recommend Strictly Tool Boxes to everyone I see looking at tool boxes now. In the photos I posted you will see two pics of myself AND my brother standing in one of the long drawers and one of the small drawers. Both drawers had a 500 pound weight capacity. Together, my brother and I weigh about 420 pounds and the drawer never even flexed. We were even able to move the drawer easily while still standing in it. If I could post a video of it I would. I hope I can find enough tools to fill this massive tool box and then have to buy another one just for my specialty tools. I hope you are as happy with your purchase as I am. (Posted on 1/22/12)

snxp-xn kryptonite
I am a full time diesel mechanic at an International dealership. All 8 other mechanics in my shop have 72" Snxp-xn boxes with hutches. I have worked out of my buddies 72" snxp-xn tool box that he wasn’t using for the past 9 months till I could save up enough to buy my own. I stumbled across this site while looking for used tool boxes and was skeptical at first. I did as much research as I could, comparing drawer arrangements, weight ratings, and the gauge of steel used in construction. Finally I ordered a 72" Montezuma with a stainless top and faultless castors. It arrived 2 days later in great shape.... the packaging was incredibly thorough; 1/4" plywood outside of 3/4" styrofoam with thick plastic covering the tool box itself.
One look at the tool box and you can tell that these tool boxes are built well. The drawers slide very smoothly and securely on the rollerbearing slides and extend all the way out without being difficult to return inward. The handles that you install on both ends are very classy looking and are very strong.
Several items that are different but not necessarily worse than the tool truck boxes are as follows: The stainless top is textured slightly which makes it a little hard to write on, the drawer detents are rather stiff but the tool box has softer spare detent blocks and instructions on how to install them, and all the end castors swivel which make it easy to maneuver but also make the box slightly more difficult to push in a straight line.
Things i like about this tool box... the extra security drawer, the great paint job it has, the no-skid drawer liners that come with the tool box, the 2 wide shallow drawers underneath the socket drawer; I use one for wrenches and the other for screwdrivers and pliers, I also like having a handle on each end of the tool box. The thing I like best is that all the other guys in the shop are asking the tool truck dealer why their tool boxes cost so much!!! After seeing my tool box, one of my coworkers said that Snxp-xn is becoming a brand name cult!
That said, I have been working out of it for 2 weeks and I love the tool box! All the other guys in the shop have been amazed at how nice this tool box is for a 3rd of the price that they paid for their tool boxes. I would be amazed if anyone else who saw my tool box would still pay $10,000 for a tool truck tool box! I would never hesitate to convince anyone to get this tool box over more expensive tool boxes. As long as Montezuma keeps making them and strictly-toolboxes keeps selling them I will never buy anything else from anyone else! (Posted on 1/20/12)

Nice Toolbox
I am a former professional auto technician, currently an engineer still working on my hobby cars. This toolbox is just what I needed for my current ongoing garage renovation. The quality of this toolbox is excellent. I like the size but I will say that 30" deep requires you to open the draws a long way to get at tools in the back and reach a long way as well. I might want to consider the 24" deep version the next time.
Also my first toolbox arrived damaged. Following all the inspection procedures sent to me by Strictly Toolboxes resulted in an immediate return and they got me a new one out the next day. I was very happy with working with them on this. (Posted on 1/13/12)

Great Tool Box
I just received my Montezuma 72" Elite tool box the other day and was impressed by its sturdiness. The tool box has a nice stainless top that seems to be quite heavy duty. I received the the tool box within a week of ordering it, and was impressed with how protective the packaging was. I can't wait to get the tool box to work and start using it every day.

Best toolbox we have had to date.
Best toolbox we have had to date, we used others, the ones that come from a tool trucks and this toolbox beats them hands down. In the past we seemed to have a lot of door problems with the weight we would put into them, not with this toolbox.We are kinda hard on on toolboxes in our shop. So far this toolbox it doing better than everything else we have had in the past. (Posted on 11/29/11)

Looks Classy and built tough
I own a auto body shop so I decided to upgrade my old Mxxxx toolbox. My other techs have nice Cxxxxxx toolbox and sxxx-ox toolbox and when you see them your first impression is “wow, look at those nice toolboxes”. They were very impressive from my point of view and they did bring some class to my shop when they brought their tool boxes in. That is when I wanted a upgrade both sxxx-ox and cxxxxxxxx said I have this toolbox for $5700 but it was not as big as the Montezuma. Cxxxxxxx said I can get you a similar toolbox for around $4200. I looked at both of them and the toolboxes were pretty sharp nice colors the only thing that they lacked was the amount of drawers and the size of the drawers also the nice color the toolbox is. That is when my mind was made up to get me the Montezuma.
When my toolbox came and we unpacked it you could just see the look in techs eyes when we got it all unpacked and put the handles on the beautiful toolbox. The first words out their mouths were “How Much did you pay for this?”. Later that day my one tech said to the sxxx-ox man “I wanna try and sell my toolbox”. That put a smile on my face when I heard it.
I love this toolbox - plenty of room, nice and big, color is great, the quality is top notch, and customer service is right on point. I had to give a key to my son called them up and without question they sent me 2 keys free of charge. My experience with strictly tool boxes has been a good one. Great company to do business with! Way to go guys!
I'm already setting up to make my next buy. A side cabinet and hutch. Now when customers come in they see my toolbox first out of the other 3 toolboxes. My toolbox is the real eye catcher! Thanks STB.
PS . I almost forgot when sxxx-ox saw it the first thing he said was that it was not good quality. Our boxes are painted on the inside and most boxes you get online are just painted on the outside and the bearings are junk as well. Being the Asshole I am I said “Really?” in front of a shop full of people “Lets see.” we walked over to my toolbox and I pulled out the top draw and checked with my flash light. I said “Looks all painted to me!” then I went and stepped into the bottom draw and said push the draw in and out while I was standing in it again without any problems drawer worked great! I weigh 260 pounds. That sure shut him up. (Posted on 11/12/11)

Awesome Investment
I've been using my new tool box for a little less than a month and absolutely love it in every way! Very heavy duty drawer slides, and spring loaded casters which is very nice, and so much room! I have had most the other brand name tool boxes, but I definitely like this one the best, and I really like the price tag that came with it! I even showed this tool box to the tool guys that come by the shop, and even they were very impressed and jealous once they realized how much I paid for it. Even the Sxxx-Ox guy asked me where he could purchase one for his own garage, funny stuff!
Also, I was very surprised when it came in with the stainless steel top already on it, no extra cost to me! What an amazing bonus, and the great customer service I received with this company was fantastic, very patient to answer every question I had about my new tool box! Great company, great customer service, and outstanding product!! (Posted on 10/20/11)

Love This Tool Box
I priced tool oxes of this size from 3 major tool dealers and none of them could match the price of this tool box. I've had this tool box in the shop for over 7 months and I don't have the first complaint, except that I keep buying tools trying to fill it up. The quality of this tool box is outstanding from the double slides on the deep drawers to the fully braced bottom and heavy duty casters. The prelined drawers are also a nice touch. I recommend strictlytoolboxes.com to everybody who ask about my tool box, Shannon was great to deal with and my tool box was shipped quickly and arrived undamaged. (Posted on 9/1/11)

Great Toolbox
This is a great toolbox, don't waste your money on the "other boxes" this one is actually better the box has more steel in it the drawers are rated for more weight. I own the more expensive boxes and this box is much better. (Posted on 8/25/11)

I LOVE my new tool box!
I LOVE my new tool box! It is high quality construction at an affordable price and I know quality construction because I a general contractor and have to maintain all of my equipment (toys) and tools. I did a lot of research before I purchased a tool box and found your product to be far superior to the competitions overpriced tool boxes. The only problem that I can find with my new tool box is that I had to buy more tools, oh darn! I would recommend this tool box to anyone who appreciates their tools, as long as they have room, it is big! (Posted on 8/21/11)

72" Elite
After running out of room in a much smaller Craftsman tool box I decided to upgrade. My boss had just purchased a slightly smaller tool box from here and everyone was impressed with it. The purchase process was smooth as could be and the tool box came crated to withstand a small bomb blast. I am glad I spent a little extra for the deeper box, stainless steel top and upgraded casters. It was worth every penny. What else can I say except that everyone else here hasn't. After talking to my local Sxxx-Ox dealer, I'm glad I didn't shell out the cost of a cheap car for a tool box. No one needs to spend 10K or more for a tool box. I'm confident this tool box will last me forever. Now the only problem is I have to buy more tools to fill it up! (Posted on 8/2/11)

Very well made toolbox
I'm a small trucking fleet owner/mechanic, our tools were spread out across several cheaper store brand toolboxes and a workbench, I wanted something to consolidate all the tools into one box without having to spend Tool truck brand $$$$. After much research I decided on a Montezuma 72" elite combo. The roll cabinet arrived a couple weeks ago and is even better quality than I'd read. This toolbox is built like a tank, no flex to the drawers at all, even when loaded with heavy truck tools. The large wheels on the elite toolbox roll very easily for a box this size. Coming from smaller 18" deep tool boxes, I really can't say enough about the huge 30" deep drawers. I would not hesitate to buy a Montezuma tool box again. Absolutely tool truck quality at a much much lower pricetag.
Shannon and Stictlytoolboxes.com was very easy to work with and answered all the questions I had quickly. The matching top chest was backordered when I originally ordered my combo, but it shipped today and should arrive sometime next week. I can't wait to get the top box mounted!

Awesome Roller Cabinet
I am extremely happy with this tool box. I had checked all the reviews and was confident that this was a good purchase. My expectations have been exceeded. Shannon was great to deal with and I look forward to future purchases. Everyone that I have shown it to is very impressed especially when I tell them the price. The Fed-Ex delivery was great. The driver helped unpack it and I think he was as excited as I was to see what it looked like. (Posted on 7/5/11)

AWESOME BOX, FANTASTIC PRICE
I must have looked at this website 20 times in over 6 weeks. Let me tell you just call Strictlytoolboxes.com and talk to Shannon or Joe, they will help you out.
The Elite series is a heavy duty professional grade tool box. I think it is heavier than the tool truck guys (you know who they are). The only thing you will miss by buying this tool box is all the extra payments you would be making to the tool truck guys. You will be the ENVY of all the guys in your shop or all the people in your neighborhood because of the QUALITY and the PRICE. The quality of this tool box is so high that I can tell it will last for decades without a problem. The only way I can see you overloading the drawers is if you store plate steel in them. The drawers extend fully so make sure you have enough room for it (you need at least 60 inches deep).
The day it arrived I spent 3 hours after work moving all my tools into it. MONTEZUMA ELITE is the tool box to buy, and STRICTLYTOOLBOXES.COM is the place to buy it. I could not be happier.
THANKS GUYS! (Posted on 7/2/11)

The tool box is top quality
Wow this is the first thing ever purchased by me with no contact at all and for a lot of money, but have to say Strictly Tool Boxes hit it out of the ball park for me, what a great tool box!!! The tool box is top quality, shipping went great, and the packing on this thing is wonderful. I may use the high quality crate for something else.
I do have to say this will not see the inside of a shop, I’m a retired chef and will be using it in my new home as a kitchen island and bar height eating, my work surface will be 42x88 and will have a folding wing on end for addition seating 8 to 10 people at a time. Thank you again! (Posted on 6/30/11)

This tool box is built amazingly well
My tool box arrived in perfect shape today. The FedEx guy was very accommodating on letting us inspect it and even helped in the unpacking. We spent several minutes looking for keys which I assumed were probably taped to the box somewhere. My wife finally called Shannon and found out the drawers aren't locked, and the keys are inside the tool box. I'm very impressed with the quality of the box. Compared to the older craftsman boxes we have its built amazingly well. I'll be ordering the matching top chest for it in a few days. (Posted on 6/30/11)

I purchased a 72" toolbox a few months back and I was impressed with the quality, design and price. It put the other's to shame. Of course, upon first glance it appears to be a brand name box but without the big ticket price!

One happy customer!
This is a GREAT BOX! I had a smaller Sxxx Ox set that this box replaced. What a great buy - the quality and craftsmanship are impressive. After loading the new box and using it for a couple days I'd put it up against the best that Sxxx Ox or Mxx has to offer. I farm and ranch for a living so everything from complete SAE AND METRIC 1/4 to 3/4 drive sets, wrenches sets and a big varitity of air tools and attachments plus alot of special tools plus everything else inbetween, so there is alot of weight in the bigger tools, it takes hardly any effort to move the chest plus all the drawers roll smooth as silk even the heavy ones. A big THANKS to Shannon you were very helpful ,I would recommend this tool chest to anyone, Thank you to StrictlyToolboxes and Montezuma Mfg. for a high quality product at an extremely good price Sincerely Hooter in Mo.

Great box!
I'm a shop foreman for a large european auto shop and I use this box everyday. It gets a lot of weight put in it and abused. It holds up great and I will buy another one before I ever look at another Mxx box again. A comparable Mxx box was twice the price and smaller!! Not to mention it was slightly lighter weight and a lower payload tolerance. This is a great box for the professional, and overkill for anyone at home! Great deal! (Posted on 3/3/10)
