If you’ve had issues in the past of people breaking into your toolbox to filch your tools while you aren’t looking, we’re here to help.
The thieves in question might be troublemakers in a dodgy part of town, or even your own co-workers, out to pinch your prized hammer and coincidentally ‘forget’ to return it. If you’re a tradie working on a large construction site, this can be an issue more often experienced than expected. Here’s how to keep your family jewels – whoops we mean tools – safe.
One toolbox to rule them all
It wasn’t forged in the fires of Mount Doom, but it comes damn near close to being as indestructible! Don’t let the title fool you, our Ausbox mining contractors ute boxes aren’t just for miners, they’re for anyone wanting to protect their equipment from sticky fingers. And the best part? They’re fully customisable. So you can put as many locks, drawers and sneaky compartments in your toolbox as you want! Here are the best security features of these beaut toolboxes.
Tough as nails
Our Ausbox ute boxes are made from 3mm aluminium sheet with a sleek, powder-coated finish. They might look fancy, but they’re tougher than the callouses on your heels. Imagine the shock the kids down the road will get when they give it a good old bop with a hammer and the rebound bucks them backwards!
Safe from stress cracks
All joints and brackets are TIG and MIG welded, and all doors are welded with an internal stiffener for increased security and rigidity. If you’re driving on bumpy terrain, you can rest assured that your toolbox won’t be affected by the wear and tear. This will also decrease the likelihood of doors being jimmied open with a crowbar.
Efficient locking system
Each toolbox is fitted with drop locks with a stainless steel pan and handle. If you have several boxes on your ute tray bed, they can all be keyed alike. This not only lightens your key ring but means you won’t have to keep track of multiple keys and are less likely to lose them.
