Water proof tool box?

[John Cooper]

Had a toll box behind the back seat in BB, to be honest I forgot I had it back there.

When I pulled the soft top off, I took the tool box out and dang if my tools weren't sitting in water.

I don't carry a lot, pliers, sockets couple of screw drivers, ratchets and so forth.

I am looking for a good waterproof tool storage that will fit behind the back seat. Any recommendations??

I use a large waterproof pistol case.

Flambeau Outdoors Range Locker HD Pistol Case - 13", Black​

But of course it's gone up 25% in the last year or two.

I was wondering about the Harbor freight ones like this Flambeau.

my just incase tool kit is a harbor freight 50cal box for tools with a couple of moisture packs.

The HF Apache 2800 case is about the size of my Flambeau case, which holds a surprising number of tools.

Ok, I didn't actually get the saw, crowbar, and prybar in there.

It's supposed to be waterproof, but I haven't actually dunked it in the bathtub to find out.

Glad they fit but that scares me.

Pelican or HF hard cases. Tool rolls, rails inside. Bonus they can be locked and you can run a bicycle cable lock to a seat base or around the roll cage.

Either one. I just bought a Tall 50 to use as a small storage box on my utility trailer.

I have a couple of Pelican 1170 and the HF Apache 2800 underneath my seats and behind the seats. The Apache fit nicely underneath the seats and the Pelican are the only I've found that are narrow enough for the passenger seat to still tumble back.

Gonna give the HF Apache a shot, hopefully picking one up this weekend.

Thanks for all the replies!!!

Picked up the Apache this past weekend.

Got the 4800. I know the tools look rough but they are still shinier than @RINC Hood.

Going to get a set of HF wrenches SAE and Metric. Foam on top of these. And then wrenches in the roll and foam again. Hopefully everything will stay quiet.

If you want to get the rest of that label off cleanly, hit it with a heat gun on low.

Move the heat gun around a bit over the label for a few (around10-15) seconds. The glue underneath will soften and the label will be much easier to remove.

If the label is still sticky at first try, give it a few more seconds with the low heat.

I do this with their plastic ammo cans. Works great.

Not fancy or expensive I use this from tractor supply. Never have any issues with water intrusion.

I still have my back seat in for the grandkids.

Yes it is. It's the foam you can pull out blocks if you want to. I didn't.

I now have one of their wrench sets in it.

I am liking it a lot!!!!
