Customer Reviews for Buyers Products Company 18.5 in. x 15 in. x 49 in. Diamond Plate Tread Aluminum Trailer Tongue Truck Tool Box

Thought i put something simple on my trailer. There is no setup installation materials tools brackets washers nothing just the box.

I like the box. Pro It is light, seems rugged, adds lockable tool storage to the trailer and looks good, too. Con The bottom is very thin. It would be better if the box's bottom did not show light through. I do not know if the floor will tear out in time, since the box is mounted by the bottom and will be bounced while heavily loaded with items. My install preparation. To install - I strengthened the box bottom with a bottom liner cut from 1/2" chip board to insure a solid mounting. I next, sealed the chip board with thinned left over one part enamel garage floor paint. I thinned the floor paint to better penetrate, seal and toughen up the chip board. I put the prepped chip board in to the box bottom. Then, I cut and set in a piece of black rubber armor plate garage flooring. To finish, I will seal the edges of the box's floor with black RTV before drilling and bolting the box on to the trailer. That should complete the box install on the trailer. Overall, I am happy with the price and quality.

Great size for the price. I didn't want a metal box that would rust. I installed it on the trailer tonque with angle iron to inset it. After putting a battery, straps and few other items, the floor starting sagging. The floor could be stiffer but the rest of the box seems sturdy. I like the hasp to lock it.

The hasp and loop on the front of this box do not line up. The hasp will not fit over the loop unless the lid is lifted to allow the hasp to slide over the loop. If I have to lift the lid to lock it, that will let moisture into the box, which is not good. Obviously this box did not go through quality control or they simply don't give a darn about the quality of the products. Look at the last photo first, then the second photo and the first photo last.

I installed this on a tandem PWC trailer to hold life jackets, tie-down straps, and other assorted accessories. Made of heavy-duty - but still lightweight - molded plastic, I don't have to worry about it rusting over what I'm sure will be a long lifetime. The bottom is water-tight (except where I drilled it for mounting, but a washer and a little caulk takes care of that) so I don't have to worry if I back the trailer in a bit too far and the lower couple of inches of the box are in the water. The lid has an over-hanging lip that keeps rainwater from leaking in. I've driven with it in the rain some and haven't seen any water leakage, but if I ever do a little weatherstripping should take care of that. Check out the included picture to see how I mounted it: I created a walk-about platform with synthetic decking (with some added support lumber where necessary) and then mounted the storage box on top. I used stainless steel fasteners and washers throughout to keep everything from rusting. As mentioned in the Home Depot "Product Overview" - and contrary to the "Details" section - this storage box *does* have a hasp for a padlock, so I can feel confident that my extra life jackets are secure when I'm out on the water. I am extremely pleased with my purchase. It was a great price, looks like it'll last forever, fits my trailer perfectly, and holds all my stuff! What more could I ask for?

It was well constructed and delivered with out damage. Seems to be good quality.

Product was damaged upon arrival and I was disappointed that there is no seal between the lid and tool box which would allow rain water into the storage compartment during trailering.

Good size and price. Previous reviews were helpful with installation. I used 3/4" plywood as a base to attach to the trailer tongue and 1/2" plywood cut to size inside. Once mounted, the latch lined up well and the box was solid and stable. Good value. The delivery box (cardboard) was pretty beat up and the delivery agent noted that, but the box itself was fine.

Great for storing the leveling pads and tools for my tent trailer. The color matches the trailer and it double as a rock guard.

Item arrived in terrible shape. Scratched and abused. Shipping box was ok, so there is no blaming fedex or ups for this. Very disappointed.

Easy to mount, spacious and has a basic hasp to hold and lock it up. Much better than a built in keyed lock, which will ultimately fail (jam up) due to road spray and the dreaded salt we put on winter roads here in New England. There is no weather stripping, which is fine while parked but will let water in while towing in the rain. A simple peel and stick weather stripping solved that issue. Room for multiple tie downs, rope, my hitch ball, gloves, tarp, small cooler etc. My trailer had a cross bar on the toungue that nicely supported the bottom without extra reinforcing.

Wonderful tool box. Love it's durability and light weight.

Made in the USA! Great box. Latch is adjustable, so can get a good seal on the lid.

Lightweight, seems to be durable- time will tell. Chose plastic over metal due road debris/rust. Saw reviews about thin bottom side- traced and cut wooden bottom for support, little extra work but think it’ll be just as sturdy as a metal box now, without the rust over time.

Very good tool box for the price. Be sure to measure your trailer to insure this one will fit it. Mine worked out great.

Perfect fit and has plenty of room. Very sturdy and like the latch for locking

5 STARS *****. Highly recommend. Lots of storage space for straps, emergency lights, flashlights, tools, jack, tire iron, zip ties and more.

I really like this box. It is very sturdy and fits perfectly on my trailer.

Exactly what I was looking for. Exceptional delivery, and was given a Military Discount.
