- Here's a look at the Ridgid Storage Box, I've had it for a while and really like having it. It does not only keep your tools secure on a jobsite, but also keeps them organized in one place. It's currently available for $250 at Home Depot. www.homedepot.c...

got the exact one, made a vid and posted in under Industrial Electrician tools. Very happy with it, $300 plus the locks so $325 out the door from home depot. i HIGHLY recommend this box!
Great job reviewing the Rigid box. I will be picking one up soon. Just checking about which lock to use as some people have had problems with the lock install. Also would like to add wheels to the box as well for mobility.
Good review! A couple of lag screws through the feet and into the floor joists would also prevent a couple of burly guys walking away with the whole thing too!
Jim Dockrell Lag bolts would indeed make if more secure, but I'll pass on four holes in the middle of the future freshly sanded floor. In other situations, it's the way to go. For me, just the weight alone is good enough. THanks for watching.
Hey thanx dude I am sold, ordering mine from Homedepot now
Good thorough review considering it's "just a box with locks". Anyway thought it'd be funny if you just had a toolbox locked up as a decoy and really kept your tools in say a garbage bag off to the side or something 😂
Great review. Papa had an old, reclaimed-from-trash JOBOX in the garage, locked up tight and I wanted to use it for scrap metal storage in the shop. Took me an hour, an angle grinder, two cutting discs and a couple select swear words to get into it. Finally got inside- a wool blanket, a roll of towels and a cold chisel were all that was in there. It was a noisy mess to break into.
Lolita's Garden I'm careful not to lose the key just for that reason.
I have the same one. Love it. Probably going to get the larger one too for another location. I would have liked another tray and tried to order one through my local The Home Depot. But they weren't very helpful.
diycentral You could probably get your hands on one. Try talking to the manager directly, the manager at my homedepot is very nice. I have his card in my wallet with his cell number! You could also call Ridgid.
I mounted a Bench vise to the top of mine. Comes in very handy!
Good job! I always learn something from your videos. Keep them coming!
GFD472 thanks
Thanks for the suggestions you have provided here.
Picked one up for $250 today Home Depot Labor Day savings
They’re $500 today…🤦🏿♂️!
Me a ayudado mucho, Tenia una caja igual desde hace mucho y no sabia como instalarle los candados
out in the field, the locks just keep the honest man honest. A plasma torch would cut this box like butter. i actually had to yell at a few scaffold builders standing on my box with muddy boots. rain washed it off... dont spray it with Never Wet
Good box, crap padlocks.
Ditch the Master no 1, easily picked in seconds and the cylinder can be silently drilled out.
I'd go with an American 5200 or an Abloy.
Bad ass box going to buy great reviews man
What if you put the lock in backwards? How do u get it out? Any thoughts?
I’m having this exact problem! Did you have any luck?
How can o get the lock off .if u tighten u bolt and lock to close to hook when you unlock it
Nice review. Jeff
Average Guy Woodworking Thanks Jeff.
Awesome Review
+Damon Tabron Thank you
Great video. That box looks good and strong. What was the other box size? Plus a rough cost?
Thanks for sharing

Roy Wrenn Here's the smaller one........it's $200. www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-32-in-x-19-in-Portable-Storage-Chest-2032-OS/100189569?N=5yc1vZc27g
nice review thanks
Nice review and good idea for security. Are you going to bolt it to the floor? (You may have said and I missed it)
MRrwmac Thanks, I'm going to pass on holes in the floor.
How do you get that on to the back of your truck?
Burglar bomb with t bug e IR sensor will protect tools also.
$280 🤯. It's $480 now
What size is the lock
I just can’t get behind having a bright orange box with like 20k worth of tools. I like the knaack it’s the same box just brown and less attractive. Even the yeti we have is brown too many thieves out there
These boxes are not site friendly. I thought they were, till I lost $2400 worth of tools in 15 minutes. A pry bar and a sledge popped mine open and my profit was lost. The only way they can make this box secure to not leave it on site. I hate to say this, but I hate to see people lose money on a job.
+Brian Kenney It's just a deterent for me, it's inside a locked house and the average dumb A that's looking easy stuff to grab will have a hard time with it. But when it comes to a determined thief, you just can't stop them. You could crawl in the box and wait for them to open it and pop out like a jack in the box and take care of them.
I've been thinking about getting one for keeping my power tools safe in the garage and taking with when on a project. The weight is nice to prevent theft but I don't have a forklift and most likely would have to load it by myself. How do you get it from the house into your truck?
If you empty most of the tools out, you can load it onto the tailgate one side at a time fairly easily
@@zachfoss4152 I've decided to go with keeping my tools in their cases and organizing the rest of my tools in the 20" Plano tool boxes I bought years ago for $1.99 each (closeout and rebate) along with other tool boxes I already own, a few larger bins for bulky items like paint and drywall tools/supplies and a couple of 5 gallon buckets with pocket organizers. At home these live on a shelving unit where they're easy to grab and use and when I have to take them with me they're easy to load up in my pickup as they're all relatively light. I can also take my landscaping wagon along if I have to move them any distance. When I was younger I wouldn't have thought twice about unpacking then lifting a 250lb tool chest into my pickup by myself and then reloading it all back up only to reverse the entire process when I get back home. These days it's far less appealing and I'm guessing that's only going to get worse as I age. Additionally, I'm not a fan of leaving everything at a project site as I've since learned these metal job boxes aren't perfectly water tight and are easily pried open. Realistically, going forward most of my projects are at home with smaller ones at family member's houses as I can do them. I'd like to get a small lake cabin at some point but who knows. It's a much better solution for me and one that I put a lot of thought into.
Great video. Thought you forgot about us. Lol
mcLuvineer I know your there, just been busy.
Good video
Like most security measures they keep the honest people more honest you should upgrade those cheap padlocks on the box and make damn sure its bolted from the inside of the box to make it harder for crackheads to carry the entire box out of the house i am a firm believer in making things harder for people to steal unfortunately thieves. Will target unoccupied houses if they think they have anything of value inside i built residential subdivisions years ago and they used to get hit all the time as a deterrent we used Gang Boxes that were either bolted down or chained to something solid like a steel column Or a concrete pad good luck on your reject home i seriously hoe you dont have to encounter any theft or break ins .
What's your other channel? Could you link it here? :)

how do yiu install this boxes on a truck?
Just put it in the back of a truck........bolt it to the bed if necessary.
Alexi Angel A
The only problem with this box is it fades really quick on top
I hope! Lol
Nice box that will absolutely cut down 95% of all thieves and its always better to organize your tools .
just maybe some wheels would be nice to (removable of coarse)
r peffer The wheels just make it easy for someone to roll away......unless you have the whole thing chained to something.
But thieves could just pick the box up and take it with all your valuable tools inside.
How would you mount it in a truck to keep people from walking off with it
chevymudding01 bolt it to the bed or chain it to the tie downs......or guard it day and night.
I use heavy cable bicycle locks. On on each side through the handle.
No offense but it sounds like you bought a house in the wrong neighborhood man
Jobsites are pretty vulnerable.
A lock will only stop an honest man !!
James Potter They also stop dumb thieves. In general, it's just a basic precaution. I
I just bought one and it's hard to unlock. I need to pull on the key and wiggle it. Any ideas?
Sounds like a lock problem, some locks you have to push in.....not sure, I don't have any issues. Maybe your locks are too big.
Did you fix your problem? What number lock did you buy
If you used a #5 master lock “commercial” series padlock just remove the upper rubber/plastic cap nearest the lock hasp. This will solve your problem most likely unless you have an old rusty padlock.
(Oh yea, “hasp” is the word you were lookin for when describing the lock mechanism set-up)
Some refer to it as the “shackle” also.
Nothing is really anti-theft.... thieves will steal anything they REALLY want. I would place cameras for added security.
And then they'll steal the cameras. Yeah, people suck.
NOT Waterproof ! Leaks !
I was majorly disappointed. Not a bunch, but certainly NOT waterPROOF !
"Gang Box"
Not safe . open it in 5 minute.
Better than your tools sitting in the floor, most dumba$$ theives just bust in and grab stuff.......I could get into it in 5 minutes too, but that's not the point. My plasma cutter could do it in 30 seconds!
$280!? I just got mine today for $400 😂 man these prices have gotten crazy lol, but regardless it’s still MONEY WELL SPENT! 🦾
