   Great Aircraft Mechanic's Box
   This review is for the Tool Vault TV-BK5511MZ
   I chose this cabinet because I need the storage space of a large box but I need to be able to move it around easily, too. The 30 inch deep drawers with full extension slides are great! I also made this choice because the drawer sizes suited me better than other boxes of the same size. Overall construction of this box appears to be very good – and as you can see from my photos, I made a thorough inspection. In addition, there are some nice touches that you might not find on other boxes, including boxes that cost thousands more. For example:
   The inside of the box is powder coated just as nicely as the outside.
   There is a welded-in brace to add strength to the divider between the lower drawer bays.
   If you aren’t happy with the drawer arrangement they can be changed around to suit, as long as they are the same width, because all the slides are equally spaced.
   The drawers have good quality liners installed.
   There are 2 nice handles and they are heavy duty.
   The spring loaded casters (at no extra cost) are cool – and they have grease zerks.
   Underneath the stainless top there are threaded holes already provided for adding a top box.
   
   A nice perk is the option to change the detent strength on the drawers. There are a bunch of extra drawer detent bumpers included with the box that decrease the pull required to open the drawers. Simply pop the dark colored bumpers off the tracks on the inside of the box and press on the light colored bumpers. These bumpers require some additional explanation. There are three kinds of bumpers with the box: dark grey colored (heavy detent), translucent (light detent), and translucent (no detent). On drawers that have 2 slides on each side, as equipped from the factory, the top bumper (translucent) does not provide any detent. It is a bump stop only. You can tell the difference between this bumper and the extra translucent bumpers included with the box by looking at the tops and bottoms of the bumpers. The bumpers with no detent are smooth on top and bottom, while the bumpers with a light detent have bumps, or ridges, on top and bottom. The heavy detent dark grey bumpers and the light detent translucent bumpers are physically identical except for color and hardness. The dark grey bumpers are harder, the translucent ones softer.
   
   I certainly have no complaints but there are a couple of things that would make this box even better. For one, the stainless steel top is fairly thin and dents easily. Also, it is not non-magnetic stainless, but at this price we’re not going to get 316SS and I understand that. It would be nice to have the option of stiffer drawer detents. I don’t know why anyone would want lighter detents. Then again, that can be changed by tweaking the end of the draw sliders a bit. Finally, polyurethane spring loaded casters would be even better, but I’m not complaining. It’s not difficult to make a better box of this size at this price point – it’s impossible! I would buy it again and recommend it to others. (Posted on 10/12/2017)

   Nice Box
   We ordered two of these boxes for our truck lab. They arrived well packaged and undamaged. I did notice that one the wheels doesn't make contact with the ground when unloaded, maybe that will change once its full of tools. Its not enough to really even make the box wobble so its not really an issue to me. The drawers slide really well and are tall enough to fit fluke tools and their protective cases. I didn't like how the tall drawer was on the top, but luckily the slides are all evenly spaced and I was able to put the two short drawers on top and the tall drawer on the bottom.

   Finally an easy move
   I've been needing to buy a toolbox for several years now but do to the nature of my job I move quite a bit. After my last move I promised I would get something that could fit all of my tools so I could just roll the box on a trailer and go without having to waste time packaging everything. I found strictly toolboxes about 6 months ago and went back/forth on several models before selecting this one. The staff was friendly and patient throughout my selection and answered lots of questions. This box is the baby brother to the big 72" which was too big to fit where I needed it too, but don't be fooled, it's no baby at all...it's heavy! It's well built, the drawers work well and she glides like on glass. It should be an easy move for my tools next time. I'm also glad I went with the deeper drawers. (Posted on 3/9/2017)
