Features and benefits

This highly mobile, heavy duty tool box allows the user to take his tools of varying sizes anywhere. It has seven ball-bearing drawers, one extra deep and two large storage compartments with peg board and one shelf each. The wheels are in fact heavy duty pneumatic tires that make moving the box on several different surfaces smooth and easy.

Because the toolbox is built for traveling, it includers raise and release drawer handles that lock each drawer in place so they do not open when the box is moved. Tubular coded locks with keys keep the tools safe while the technician is away. Another benefit is that the tools stay in place thanks to skid-proof, quiet ride foam drawer liners. The box can easily be stopped thanks to its t-shaped handle, complete with disc brake controls for easy maneuvering.

Application

The technology offered by Extreme Tools in this 70" Pit Box allows the user to take advantage of situations where the mobility of a tool cart is needed, but the amount of tools needed for a job is more substantial. Furthermore, technicians that travel or work out of several locations would appreciate the enhanced mobility of the toolbox and its ability to keep drawers secure during moves.

Origin
