At Hand-Eye Supply we've been on a long time quest to find a decent tool box. It hasn't been easy. We've found sturdy and dependable toolboxes at hefty price points, and lower priced boxes that are cheaply made and wouldn't hold up to the rigors of even a gentler shop environment (what would that even be, anyways?).
Then we discovered this: The USAG 646 Toolbox—reasonably priced and so red you might get a speeding ticket.
This USAG 646 toolbox is made in Italy out of sheet steel which is coated using electropheretic deposition, a high quality finishing process which produces a durable color and thickness consistency.
The cantilever top is double-handled, with two upper compartments and one large lower compartment. It's nicely engineered so that in the process of closing the box the lips of the lid perfectly overlap. There's a small hole for a light duty u-lock, so you can keep your tools secure.

So attactive! But honestly, a toolbox for $127? Thanks love, you're gorgeous, but...ciao.
It's a superb design for a toolbox. I have an identical design from a different manufacturer with two layers of upper trays, giving 4 upper trays and 1 large lower tray. And it's in a calming aqua color. Holds an absolutely full set of smaller hand tools, and keeps them beautifully organized. Built like a tank. I bought mine in the 1980s for about $40. Only drawback is that a strong steel box full of steel tools weighs a ton. I put gliders on the bottom so I can slide it around. I'm waiting for an anti-gravity accessory attachment.
