Whether you are a professional mechanic or a hobbyist, a toolbox is essential for keeping all your work-related belongings organized and stacked safely in one box, so you don't have to dig around your home to find all the tools you need. There are many different kinds of toolboxes: Some are deeper and can store large power tools, but are relatively heavy and take a lot of space, while others are small and include drawers and trays, which are ideal for hand tools.

If you're looking for the perfect storage solution, Craftsman — which is also a major power tool brand — has a range of toolboxes for all sizes. The brand offers some solutions even if you're on a budget and can't justify spending more than $100 on a toolbox. And while those boxes are relatively cheap, you can count on Craftsman to deliver a product that will stay by your side for years to come, thanks to its durable design.

This particular toolbox is for those who love to stay organized and keep all their tools neatly in place, instead of throwing them into a big box. The Plastic Tool Box With Drawers has two removable dividers with ball bearings on the side, for quick and easy slide-in and slide-out. The drawers come with many compartments, helpful for managing the smaller parts of your inventory so you don't have to dig through the chaos every time you need a few bits and screws.

Additionally, this toolbox supports the Craftsman VersaStack system, while the floor mount design means you can place it on any flat surface, and it will stay still. Unfortunately, one downside of this toolbox is that it does not offer resistance to water, unlike many other Craftsman storage solutions. It's also not suitable as a heavy-duty storage solution, since it only supports up to 7.5 pounds, but it is the correct pick for smaller tools. 

If you need a truly humongous storage solutions for your tools, Craftsman has you covered. With a staggering capacity of about 30 gallons, this massive Rolling Tool Chest is like a huge luggage but for tools. The design is wide, deep, and durable. Thanks to the quick-access lid, it takes only a second to open the tool chest and pick your tools.

This toolbox is meant to make transporting a lot of tools easier, so of course it comes with a set of wheels that make it glide like a breeze, at least when it's not completely full. According to Craftsman, this toolbox can safely carry up to 110 pounds. And while it's more expensive than other solutions offered by the same brands, this product is not still relatively affordable, considering what it is.

Craftsman tool chests make a great addition to a garage, but they come with the drawback of mostly being stuck in place. The Portable Three-Drawer Tool Chest looks like one of those metal storage solutions with trays while being much smaller and lighter. This portable toolbox is great for transporting small tools, bits, and other minute material to different locations while keeping everything tidy. It might not be the cheapest solution, but it's durable, small, and looks a lot nicer than Craftsman's plastic boxes.

The flip-up handle makes it more comfortable to carry, while the locking latches keep the tools secure and prevent them from falling out of the drawers. Because it is designed to be portable, the manufacturers went with a solid steel construction. While this doesn't necessarily make the box especially resistant (the drawers in particular don't inspire a lot of confidence), it's probably enough to keep your small tools safe. 

If you don't care for single large storage solutions, the Craftsman XL Pro could be the toolbox for you. You get an assortment of storing compartments for all your small tools and components. The toolbox comes with a total of 12 compartments, three large and nine medium, all of them removable and interchangeable. You could also decide not to use some of the containers, to make space for a large tool or two.

The XL Pro has an IP53 rating against dust and water, making it relatively safe for the tools inside, even when close to water. The impact-resistant and tight lid makes sure all the compartments stick to their place instead of moving around when the toolbox is hit or rolled over to a side, while the rust-resistant metal latches make sure the lid stays closed. The sturdy handle featured on the case allows you to bring it along to any work job that may require your tools at hand.

You can fit about 16 pounds of tools in this simple-looking yet durable 16-inch Lockable Toolbox from Craftsman; not bad for such a small box. The metal latches are used to safeguard the tools inside, while the portable tray can be pulled out or used inside the toolbox for better tool management. Even the lid acts as an extra organizer, thanks to two lids that hide one small bin each. Meanwhile, the grip is supposed to be ergonomic, minimizing fatigue in the long run.

Available on Amazon, this might not be your choice for heavy-duty tools, but it can hold your screwdrivers and pliers just fine. One issue you might face when using this box regularly is that the lid does not open all the way, but is limited to a 90-degree angle. As a result, you will have to keep the lid in place with one hand while you find the desired tool in the box. Nevertheless, this Craftsman product is hard to beat for the price.
