I was pretty skeptical about this toolbox when I found it on the internet. I read all the specs and compared it to other toolboxes that were 3 times as much money or more. I finally decided to order it. I still wasn't sure this was a smart thing to do. After receiving the toolbox I was very surprised that the quality was far better than I thought it would be. Even the people that quoted me prices on other boxes were surprised. I decided to write this after a few months of owning the tool box. So I would be able to value it better after some use. I am very happy with the quality of this toolbox and very surprised at the low cost. I was also pleased with the person I talked to on the phone about this purchase prior to ordering it. He was very straightforward and helpful. Thanks John (Posted on 10/24/11)

I bought the 52 inch combo set and now have the side box. I love it! Durable, easy to move drawers, and heavy duty locks that work awesome. Shipping was early. Overall I would recommend this toolbox to every one. You will enjoy it forever. (Posted on 9/20/11)

Spent a lot of time on the internet & with the local stores on comparing tool cest sizes and quailty. I found the perfect combination with Strictley Toolboxes. I didnt talked to anyboby. I placed the order through the internet. I recieved the tool box in perfect condition. Glad I decided to get the 56 " instead of the 41". The box is 75% full already.

Thanks

Customer service is first class with Strictly Toolboxes! They called and emailed updates to the shipping and arrival times. The tool box is well constructed and comes with drawer mats so your tools stay put when moving the chest around. It is surprising easy to move even when fully loaded with tools! For the beginner or professional this tool box represents excellent value for the money! (Posted on 9/9/11)

I bought this tool box with the feeling I would be able to fill it. I was wrong. Not only do I have more room the quality is unmatched with any other brand. I was very surprised as I filled the drawers the better they worked. This is a very high quality tool box and the warranty is great to no other brand that I looked at could come close. The customer service was great when I called I got all the answers I needed. I’m about to order a side box in a few minutes. If you buy this tool box you wont be sorry one bit worth every penny.

I bought this tool box to replace a previously used smaller bottom only Sxxx-ox roller cabinet. I was running out of space and started looking for a matching top box or some other solution. After looking around and researching for a while I was about out of options and not sure what to do. Everything I could afford was not very good quality and everything of good quality was out of my price league. Then I stumbled upon people talking about strictlytoolboxes on the garagejournal forums.

The ordering and shipping process was quick and easy. The packaging had the normal freight wear and tear but because of the great packaging there wasn’t a scratch on it. I would advise to have someone help set it up. I had to get my dad to help put the castors on and lift the upper box onto the lower. He was more than happy to help and see my new “toy” though.

I feel that it is not as high of quality as professional brands such as Sxxx-ox. However, it is head and shoulders better than the run of the mill brands and I feel that what you get for the price is phenomenal. As a side note, if you were one of those people who only want the best money can buy you wouldn’t be on this website anyway. Another minor gripe is the hardware for the handle and tabs that hold the two boxes together are on the cheap side. This doesn’t bother me all that much because it stays in one place in my garage and I only plan on moving it when I move. Plus this can be upgraded in the future.

Now that I own and have used this box I have no regrets. I love the color and drawer configuration. One great thing about strictlytoolboxes is there product line and ability to get what you want. Another thing I love is the top shelf. Overall this box is actually shorter than other comparable boxes I have seen. This allows me to see and use the top shelf without needing a stool or milk crate to stand on. It also doesn’t have a lip on that top shelf which makes it even easier to use. I use the top shelf for pry bars, breaker bars and other long or awkward tools.

I would not hesitate to recommend this box and strictly tool boxes, as a company, to anyone. (Posted on 8/31/11)

I purchased the Montezuma 56" tool box for the price and size. I needed a monster tool box to hold my tools, good thing I bought this one! I had plenty of room to fill and organize the drawers full of my tool collection! I like the smooth rolling drawer guides and the mixture of shallow and deep drawers. So far I have no dislikes for this tool box. Online purchasing was simple and problem free. The tool boxes were packaged very well, made it quickly through shipping and without a scratch. My wife an I easily assembled and stacked the tool boxes. I've been recommending Strictlytoolboxes.com to co-workers and friends.

Thank you for the GREAT service and quality built tool box (Posted on 8/26/11)

I was looking for a tool chest to replace the stackable Craftsman rolling tool chest I've had for almost 20 years. The current toolbox was very over loaded and just not up to the task anymore. I needed something with rolling glides, wheels that won't flat spot under load and constructed from a decent gauge material that won't break the bank. My goals were simple or so I thought after looking through a myrad of boxes from different sources.

There are a number of decent units to choose from however the cost is through the roof. Conversely there are a number of very low priced units that don't cut the mustard. I was pleased to find Stricklytoolboxes.com and the assortment and quality not to mention decent prices for the units. Not only can you find a decent product but you can customize the configuration, drawer sizes etc.. as you see fit.

I purchased the Montezuma 56" 21 drawer combo in blue. When the toolboxes were delivered there was some worry and the cardboard had some damage. However the units were well packed and did not have a scratch on them. Its' amazing how much stuff from other places shows up damaged. So I was very pleased with the packing of the toolboxes, took a while to get it all off. Assembly was very easy, just bolt on the handle and the wheels and your good to go. Then lay down the top protector and set the top box down and roll it away. I used some tie down straps and a chain hoist to raise and lower the top box into position.

The blue color is very pleasing to look at and the finish is very nice. The unit rolls nicely on the six casters and is easy to position. All the drawers slide in and out smoothly and have a slight catch to them when closed. Also included are mats that are pre-cut to size and fit nicely in all the drawers and top storage.

I transferred all the tools from my Craftsman toolboxes and other places tool were sitting around. Some of the drawers are heavily loaded with 3/4 sockets, wrenches etc.. and other with large 2+ inch wrenches on down the previous toolbox could not handle. Everything slides in and out just fine, something I was a little worried about before buying this.

All in all I'm very happy with this purchase and would buy it again in second. I will be purchasing a side box for this for some of the bulkier tools around the shop.

I don't really have any cons but if were to be nit picky:
It would be nice to have a little more height on the top lid of the toolbox. (Posted on 8/21/11)

I have been looking for a quality tool box for the past several years. The usual options in my price range were not the quality I wanted. I have watched Craig's list during this time period for a used high quality box but they were all in the $3000 to $4000 range which seemed like a lot for a used tool box. A friend told me about his new 56" Montezuma. I was astounded by the look, quality and price. The free shipping was an added bonus. I feel I've gotten much more than I paid in value. When I ordered, the box and cabinet was back ordered. The staff was very friendly and kept me informed about the status. I have no complaints. Even the heavy drawers slide with ease. I have shown it to several friends and they are consistently off about a thousand or more dollars when they guess the price. Now all of my tools are in one location and well organized. I just need to remember which drawer they're in. (Posted on 8/6/11)

Quite honestly I stumbled on the site and boy am I glad I did. This is a solidly built box that cost several hundred less than comparable boxes. I look forward to years of service out of this beast! (Posted on 8/5/11)

This tool box has a massive amount of storage - in all the right places. Smooth action drawers are a pleasure to use, The drawer configuration is ideal for individual tools and has some larger and deeper drawers for blow-mold sets. This cabinet will allow me to grow my collection without having to add on additional side boxes or replace it entirely. Powder coat finish is flawless. Good and bad news - not likely to buy again because I expect this will handle both my growing tool collection and is built to last a long time. Thanks to Shannon for expert counseling and selection assistance. He knows his business. (Posted on 7/29/11)

It's been a couple of months that I have owned my new tool box. I am very happy with my purchase. The guys at Strictly Tool Boxes kept me informed every step of the way from order to receiving. Can't get better customer service anywhere.

The tools box is better quality than I expected. Very strong construction. The more I load it up the better it works. Drawers open and close smooth. The finish is durable. My next door neighbor has a very expensive name brand tool box (Sxxx-Ox - which he paid about 4 times more than I did for the same size tool box) and when he saw my new one he was very impressed with quality and price.

I am not a professional mechanic but run a race car out of my home shop so I use my tools a lot. This tool box will last me for a long time. I am sure it will be the last one I NEED to buy, unless I need to go with a bigger tool box. If that happens my first call would be to Strictly Tool Box. (Posted on 7/4/11)

Great box especially for the price. Lots of space for all of our tools. The quality is also really nice. Well built. We are very happy with this purchase. (Posted on 6/28/11)

After 10 years off of wrenching professionally I went back. Only I had sold all my toolboxes. Money is tight so I scoured the internet and looked for a used box. I could not find a thing big enough in my price range. I read about strictly toolboxes on a forum and thought it was worth a shot. I am pleased to say I am ecstatic with my purchase! My last box was a snap on classic triple bank. This combo has much more room! I got the snap on for a steal, and this is 5 times the value! I wont lie and say this is the best box on the market, but for the space it has and the quality, it beats the box store stuff in price and quality. I will upgrade someday, I have to many tools, and I add more all the time, so I will need more space and weight capacity. When I do I will buy a pro line toolbox from strictly toolboxes without even looking what anyone else has. I needed a box and I almost bought a craftsman, man I am glad I didn't. All drawers work great, and this thing rolls across the shop better than any other box I have tried. Yes better than my snap on. With the same tools in it!
Now about the service, these guys were awesome! I can't imagine these guys are making huge margins on these boxes, but they treated me like a king. They did what they said when they said they would do it. I even talked their ears off when I called them and they took the time to chat with me. (Which I know can be annoying, in case you haven't figured it out I'm a bit of a talker!)
I wish the top and bottom were keyed the same.......but that's not even a issue....no other brands do this that I know of. I will do this myself and also key my mobile cart the same. My picture shows my box with my little mobile cart next to it. They are both full. I work with another tech who is very cheap, and he is really considering buying one of these due to the price and quality. He currently uses a craftsman box and he loves this one. Overall I could not he happier with my purchase!!! Thank you thank you thank you strictly toolboxes! I love it! (Posted on 6/2/11)

This was my first order from Strictlytoolboxes.com, but it was an absolutely top-notch experience.

I was a bit hesitant to order a large and expensive toolbox online, without having had the benefit of spending some time with the product first. You know, opening and closing drawers, getting a sense for the "wobble" in the drawer and how the box feels overall... But, after having read a couple of reviews of this Montezuma box, and the enthusiasm that the owners shared for the product, I decided to give it some serious consideration. I also read a couple of online queries where the prospective customer was asking some very "aggressive" questions about the quality of the spot welds on the box, and Shannon did just the opposite of what I expected -- instead of merely giving lip service to the inquiry, he posted about a half-dozen extremely close-up pictures of the spot welds just to make the point that he sells only quality goods. Those photos and Shannon's professional demeanor toward this inquirer closed the deal.

The ordering process went very smoothly and, fifteen minutes later, I had a confirmation of my order. Shannon's team kept me up to date on every step of the provisioning process, including a delay in the shipping due to some customs paperwork. These guys are true professionals, and they went out of their way to keep me apprised of developments, including release of the box to FedEx, and then a hand-off to the FedEx tracking system with instructions of what I needed to do upon receipt of the box.

The box arrived on the date promised, and the FedEx delivery guy was just dying to see what was inside the box (he was a tool nut, too). So, he helped me unpack the box and we both checked the chests for damage (there was none). He was as impressed as I was with just how heavy and stout this box was, and how well the product was packed on the pallet. So, I assembled the box, which took about an hour, and it was up and ready for business. Moving the box around the shop was "fun" as it is big and very heavy, but I got what I asked for...

I've had the box for about a month now, and it is a true joy to use. Built like a freakin' tank, heavy, solid, and HUGE, it is exactly what I was looking for. I was concerned that the box might be a little "tinny", like some of the more expensive boxes down at Sears but, frankly, there is no comparison -- this box is so much more. I've since loaded up all of my tools, including many of my electronics tools (i.e. scopes, soldering gear, electronics tools), and I still have plenty of room left over. The drawer mats provided with the box are superb, heavy cushiony vinyl, perfectly cut for the drawer, and they keep the tools in place. The drawers are glass smooth when opening and closing, and closing requires a little extra nudge as the drawers all have detents to stay closed. The paint job borders on automotive quality, and all of the fittings scream quality. There isn't a cheap piece of anything on this box, and I have no question that it will last a lifetime.

So, in closing, not only was the box far more than I expected, in all aspects (quality, utility, value, fit and finish), but the ordering process and customer service made the entire process so much better. I will likely need to get a second (smaller) box in the next few years, and I will definitely be coming back to Strictlytoolboxes.com. Thanks, Shannon and team. You guys have earned a five-by-five rating from me. (Posted on 5/31/11)

Love the toolbox, heavy duty and holds all my tools! (Posted on 4/5/11)

I ordered the tool box on Monday morning and it arrived about 1PM on Wednesday. Everything was is good condition when it arrived and all the bolts and washers for the castors and handle were there. It was easy to assemble and everything, including the precut drawer liners, arrived safey. At first I thought there was only one draw liner for each size drawer, but then I noticed all the liners were in one draw so I just had to take them out and put them in the other drawers. The tool box is a much better quality than the boxes you would find in the various chain stores yet the price is competitive. I am well pleased with the box. I was debating between the 42'' and the 56'' and I'm glad I bought the 56'', It filled up faster than I thought it would, yet I still have some space for future expansion. I would highly recommend this box to anyone who needs a larger, quality tool chest. (Posted on 12/30/10)

I jumped on this tool box when it was first made available. I called Shannon to ask him about this box and he said it was a special order box that he had made from Montezuma and that he was taking pre-orders for the tool boxes at this time. He told be that the boxes should ship around the 9th of November, I think it actually shipped sooner. I own a Sn** O* box of similar size so I kind of had an idea of how big the box would be. I will say that the quality is right up there especially for the cost of the box. My Sn** O* box was about 5 times as much. The tool box was delivered packaged very well, no dents or scratches. I assembled the tool boxes and over the next few days loaded my tools in it. I had sold a smaller box and my tools were all over the garage floor so it took a little while to get them arranged. This box has a ton of room and everything fit perfect. The drawer slides seem to work better as you get more weight in them. It came with very nice drawer liners cut to fit, high density foam I think. All in all I am very pleased with this box especially since there is still room in it after I loaded all my tools. I would definitely recommend this box for home use and it will probably hold up well in a shop situation. (Posted on 11/24/10)
