3/6 Tray Hip Roof Box

[Bob La Londe]

My dad gave me a decent size hip roof toolbox many years ago. It had 6
trays. Three on each side. I've never seen one like it since. I can't
remember the name, but it was quite heavy duty. Heavier than most
toolboxes available today. For atleast a few years it contained most of
the tools I owned, until one day it was stolen out of my truck. My
fault I know. Never leave anything in your open truck bed you want to
keep unless its guarded by rabid attack dogs.

I see a lot of 4 tray hip roof boxes like this one, but I have not seen
any 6 tray ones like the one I had.

I'm on a quest to find a suitable replacement for the disintegrating
plastic of my current mechanic set truck toolbox. Its a great set my
wife gave me for Christmas several years ago. Really a decent mechanics
starter tool set, but I've left it out of the truck the last year
because the plastic is literally just falling apart. I'm looking for
something I can transfer it into that will still just fit in the cross
bed box.

------------------------------

I gave up on finding decent new stuff made of sheet metal and bought a 30"
shear/brake/roll and a spotwelder. Now everything I make is what I wanted
and just the right size. 22 or 24 galvy are plenty strong. I have quite a
bit of 22 as trim parts of an above ground pool I disassembled.

The CM shear struggles with 0.063" 6061 but is happy with 0.050" 5052. The
36 Lb anvil that blacksmiths scorn for hot forging is fine for flattening
and forming sheet metal.

Ran a Google Image search for Cantilever Steel Toolbox:

https://www.google.com/search?sca_upv=1&hl=en&q=Cantilever+Steel+Toolbox&udm=2&sa=X

and found this item I'd never seen before. It's on casters with both
bottom and top foldouts:

https://conictools.en.made-in-china.com/product/ysNEGOrvEzka/China-Metal-Tool-Cabinet-with-Casters.html

Quite a few designs have all the levers on the outside of the unit which
would eliminate some clearance problems in design. Albeit sacrificing
it being splash-proof...

Yeah, I probably have one or two or three plastic tackle boxes with 3
layers of cantilever trays. I also found a metal flat top (7 trays they
call it) cantilever toolbox with 3 layers, but none in the USA.

That is similar, but I am looking for one split with a barn roof. Not
with open to the weather trays. That is the one I have seen, but so far
not in the USA.

If memory serves the boxes I had when I was contracting flooring
installs were made by Kennedy . Exactly what you're describing with 3
trays/side and the barn roof lid shape .

That was probably expensive. I looked at Kennedy, but I have heard
Kennedy doesn't make 'em like they used to. Kinda like Snap-On.
Selling on name more than quality now.

The Kennedy website is dead slow, probably in a pitched battle with my
security software to spy on me like so many companies these days, so I
wasn't able to look and see if they make one now. I couldn't find one
on MSC or Zoro websites.

I wonder how long it will be until the ICE from companies that can't spy
"peacefully" turns to black ICE. "Oh, no. He died from not letting
Amazon spy on him." Yeah Elon. You can keep your net connected brain
implant. Not going to "jack in" either.

fault I know. Never leave anything in your open truck bed you want to
keep unless its guarded by rabid attack dogs.
I see a lot of 4 tray hip roof boxes like this one, but I have not seen
any 6 tray ones like the one I had.

My dad gave me a decent size hip roof toolbox many years ago. It had 6
trays. Three on each side. I've never seen one like it since. I can't
remember the name, but it was quite heavy duty. Heavier than most
toolboxes available today. For atleast a few years it contained most of
the tools I owned, until one day it was stolen out of my truck. My
fault I know. Never leave anything in your open truck bed you want to
keep unless its guarded by rabid attack dogs.
