Why diamond plate aluminum instead of painted steel for Truck Tool Boxes?
Have you ever seen a painted steel pickup truck tool box after a few years’ hard use? Scratches become rust stripes, and you’ll eventually find yourself sanding, priming, and painting your truck toolbox. This is why we only sell aluminum diamond plate tool boxes. If maintenance is what you want, buy steel. Some argue that “steel is stronger than aluminum.” Sure it is…if you’re building a bridge! Aluminum diamond plate is a thick, rugged and durable material, preferred by professionals everywhere for truck tool boxes. How resistant to damage is thin, painted steel sheet metal? Some department store boxes may seem attractive at first, but if you look more carefully you’ll see the difference between those truck tool boxes, and every aluminum diamond plate truck tool box we offer. Our full lid crossover truck tool boxes for example, have a lid design that offers more than meets the eye.
