TOYO ST-350-B 2-Level Toolbox

Product Information

There are 4 different shapes of toolboxes that we sell (regardless of whether they are Trusco or Toyo): Because they are relatively small, a handheld small tool box does not hold many tools or much equipment. On the other hand, it will be light and portable even when full, and it can literally go anywhere you can go. You can’t say that for more modern developments like the pit box. As a class, hand-held tool boxes also tend to be less expensive than other types. The Toyo tool boxes we’ll look at today are all branded as Toyo Steel, though as we’ll discuss below, Toyo also sells the exact same tool boxes through another distributor under another brand name.

Yes. Toyo Steel makes boxes for Trusco, who are a trading company that sells tools and other products made by several factories. If you see a Trusco tool box that matches the description of a Toyo tool box described here, you can assume it is in fact a rebranded Toyo Steel product. We might not jump straight to “How recyclable are the materials?” when we think about buying a tool box. We might think about style, utility, weight, or expense first. However, considering the state of our climate and natural resources, environmental concerns should always be in the corner of our minds. products, the Crossbox is made of an easily and economically recyclable high impact polymer resin. Using this material makes the Crossbox light and extremely durable. Better still, each one that leaves our factory in Defiance, Ohio already contains plenty of recycled materials. The Toyo tool box ST-350 and ST-350-B are classic examples of the all-steel 2-level cantilever tool box. It measures 13 There’s only one thing that’s a bit more complex about the Japanese tool boxes and that’s their names and brands. So, let’s simplify it for you...So, let’s take a much closer look at Toyo tool boxes, and what they offer compared to American-made alternatives. Part of making an environmentally sound product is making sure your materials are reusable, recyclable, or both. Toyo uses only one single material for most of its tool boxes – steel. Steel is easy to recycle, and more importantly, it is economical to recycle. It is less expensive to melt down steel products than to extract the ore from the earth and refine it. The build quality of this typer pf Toyo tool box is excellent, partially because both the main bottom box section and both cantilever box sections are made of a single piece of steel pressed into a “U” shape, with carefully wended side-walls added to complete the coffer shape. This minimum-piece design is a hallmark of Toyo Steel products, and is one of the reasons they last so long under heavy use. Toyo Steel is the company that makes most Japanese pressed steel tool boxes. They’ve been making them for 53 years and are a renowned Japanese company that makes a whole range of really well designed products for around the house, garden and garage.

Whilst Toyo make and sell their own colours and all sizes of steel toolbox, they also, at the same time, make toolboxes for many other companies. Which is why you may look at pressed steel toolboxes and wonder whether they are different, other than perhaps the name on them, or their colour. Made in Japan” can mean different things to different people. The American auto industry, and most of its manufacturing sectors, encourage us to think of Japanese exports as they were immediately after World War 2: cheap exports using even cheaper materials from a former manufacturing giant who had been devastated by war. Japanese pressed steel tool boxes are our particular favourites - to both use and sell. They are simplicity personified. They do exactly what you need, nothing more. Apart from looking just great. Meaning they work really well about the house or they add a touch of colour to the workshop or garage (as well as keeping your tools safely stored and organised). This is very much the “classic” Toyo tool box design, beloved for its simplicity, functionality and durability. Both the top and bottom are stamped from a single piece of steel, giving them a sturdiness and resilience that cannot be matched by a steel tool box made with welds or rivets. Hand-portable cantilever tool boxes are far more common than wheel-mounted units, but the top box of a combination box may well have one or more cantilever trays in its topmost compartment rather than a “top hatch” type opening.inches tall when closed.
