THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP IN PURCHASING A TOOLBOX IS PROPERLY INSPECTING YOUR SHIPMENT.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS PAGE THOROUGHLY FOR YOUR PROTECTION.
The freight carrier's terms and conditions clearly state that you are unable to inspect your shipment unless there are signs of damage to the exterior packaging. Signs of damage can be as simple as a tear in the shrink wrap or a broken pallet. You will always be able to find scuff or mark on the packaging somewhere that will allow you to inspect your shipment. If you have any issues with your freight driver not allowing inspection, call us immediately at 888-289-1952 and we will speak to him/her personally to arrange your inspection.
Please click here for a more detailed description and images of SIGNS OF DAMAGE.
In order to insure a positive customer experience properly inspecting your new toolbox becomes the most important part of your purchase. When you sign the bill of lading you are signing an agreement with the freight company that states that you or an authorized representative has thoroughly inspected the shipment. That you are receiving it without damage and are waiving any rights to file a freight claim.
Step 1. Schedule a delivery appointment with your freight carrier.
Once your toolbox is in transit and traceable on your respective freight carriers website you will be able to call your local terminal and schedule a delivery appointment.
Once you call your freight carrier and tell them your tracking number they will give you a date and time for when they can make your delivery.
All residential deliveries will require a delivery appointment.
Commercial deliveries do not require a delivery appointment but it is HIGHLY RECCOMENDED that you do so to ensure your shipment will receive a proper inspection. 80-90% of all damaged freight that is signed for is done by a co worker that was available and unaware of our freight inspection process while the proper consignee was away.
Step 2. Be prepared to receive your shipment.
Freight carrier drivers typically have 7-15 min to make a delivery. To make the inspection process go as smoothly as possible, please have the tools listed below available as soon as your toolbox reaches the pavement.
- PRY BAR or HAMMER
- TIN SNIPS
- BOX CUTTER
- WORK GLOVES
- CAMERA
- CELL PHONE - In case of damage please call us immediately at 888-289-1952
Note: The images for Step 2 and Step 3 show how a tool box looks when it leaves our warehouse.
Step 3. Visually inspect the outer packaging for damage.
Please make note of any damage to the cardboard packaging before removing. If you notice severe damage on the outer packaging such as:
- THE BOX IS CAVING IN
- HOLES CREATED BY A FORKLIFT
- ANY EXPOSED METAL
If you see any damage at this point STOP - NOTE THE DAMAGE ON THE BILL OF LADING and CONTINUE YOUR INSPECTION
***If possible write on the bill of lading yourself. If the driver insists on being the one to write on the bill of lading initial his notes showing that you agree with them. If you do not agree with the drivers notes do not sign the bill of lading.***
Note: The images for Step 2 and step 3 show how a tool box looks when it leaves our warehouse.
Step 4. Cut Banding Straps and Remove Hutch.
With your tin snips or box cutter begin removing the vinyl banding straps that are holding the hutch to the plywood crate. Once the banding straps are cut you and another person can remove the hutch and set it off to the side.
If you see any damage at this point STOP - NOTE THE DAMAGE ON THE BILL OF LADING and CONTINUE YOUR INSPECTION
***If possible write on the bill of lading yourself. If the driver insists on being the one to write on the bill of lading initial his notes showing that you agree with them. If you do not agree with the drivers notes do not sign the bill of lading.***
Step 5. Bend Metal Hinges.
Begin bending the metal hinges with your PRY BAR or HAMMER by bending them upward in the direction of the slot.
If you see any damage at this point STOP - NOTE THE DAMAGE ON THE BILL OF LADING and CONTINUE YOUR INSPECTION
***If possible write on the bill of lading yourself. If the driver insists on being the one to write on the bill of lading initial his notes showing that you agree with them. If you do not agree with the drivers notes do not sign the bill of lading.***
Step 6. Remove the top of the plywood crate.
Once all of the hinges on the top of the crate have been bent you can begin removing the top portion of the crate. Be sure you are wearing your WORK GLOVES before removal since the steel edging may be sharp.
If you see any damage at this point STOP - NOTE THE DAMAGE ON THE BILL OF LADING and CONTINUE YOUR INSPECTION
***If possible write on the bill of lading yourself. If the driver insists on being the one to write on the bill of lading initial his notes showing that you agree with them. If you do not agree with the drivers notes do not sign the bill of lading.***

Step 8. Remove the cardboard box from your toolbox.
At this point the cardboard packaging protecting your toolbox can simply be lifted off of the box. Once removed please set the cardboard box off to the side.
If you see any damage at this point STOP - NOTE THE DAMAGE ON THE BILL OF LADING and CONTINUE YOUR INSPECTION

Step 9. Remove plastic lining.
Although the lining is a thin clear plastic it is extremely important that it is completely removed before accepting your shipment. The plastic bag and shrink wrap can easily hide dents and dings that can occur during shipping. Once removed inspect your toolbox on each side thoroughly for any dents or scratches.
If you see any damage at this point STOP - REFUSE THE DELIVERY and CALL US IMMEDIATELY at 888.289.1952
***If possible write on the bill of lading yourself. If the driver insists on being the one to write on the bill of lading initial his notes showing that you agree with them. If you do not agree with the drivers notes do not sign the bill of lading.***
Step 10. Signing for your shipment
When you sign the bill of lading you are signing an agreement with the freight company that states that you or an authorized representative has thoroughly inspected the shipment. That you are receiving it without damage and are waiving any rights to file a freight claim.
All products that arrive via common carrier freight must be inspected prior to signing for the product. If your product does arrive with damage YOU MUST REFUSE DELIVERY and note the damage on the bill of lading. THIS IS NECESSARY FOR YOUR PROTECTION although the responsibility is with the carrier, please notify and contact StrictlyToolBoxes.com immediately so that we may be of some assistance. Once you accept damaged freight StrictlyToolBoxes.com will be unable to help you with a freight claim.

5 Year Limited Warranty
All Tool Vault® toolboxes have a Limited 5-Year Warranty to the original user against defects in workmanship and material under normal use. This Limited 5-Year Warranty does not apply to products that have been misused, abused, damaged by accident or otherwise, subjected to abnormal use, used in any type of over the road use, or modified by anyone other than Strictly Tool Boxes. During the applicable duration of the warranty, at its option Strictly Tool Boxes will repair or replace its products which fail to give satisfactory performance due to defective workmanship or materials, or provide a refund by repaying or crediting with an amount equal to the purchase price of such products.
Tool Vault®
With 20 years experience in the professional automotive tool and equipment industry, we have seen many companies come and go. It is our commitment to providing the highest quality products and outstanding customer service that ensures our company stands out from the rest.
Strictly Tool Boxes chooses to work with only a few tool box manufacturers because they have proven their ability to deliver a high quality product at a fair price. We have removed many vendors from our site for various reasons. The primary reason we stopped working with certain manufacturers was low product quality.
We are certain many of you have noticed the trend for tool box manufacturers to make the products with thinner steel every year. For certain light duty home applications, these lower end products may work fine. However, for the automotive professional or a serious do-it-yourselfer, we found that these products cannot hold up.
If you have questions regarding products, or if you do not see the brand you have questions about on our site, give us a call at 888.289.1952. Because of our vast experience in the professional automotive tool and equipment business, we have seen and worked with most brands currently on the market. We will be happy to help in whatever way we can.

Great box for the price

first step
I have had a snap on krl with hutch and 2 lockers And in all truth this box is just as good and honestly has more room. Cabinet is not as wide but it's deeper. And for the money it's an absolute no brainer. The finish is not as glossy, but on my black box I like because finger prints don't show as easy. My next step is to bolt another one just like this one together. (Posted on 2/20/2015)

Excellent toolboxs for a great price. Arrived on time well packaged and undamaged. Great company to deal with and very knowledgeable about their product. My work colleagues have spent four times the amount on the name brands for the same quality of box. Very pleased with my purchase from strickly toolboxs and will recommend them to anybody that asks.
