Kobalt truck tool boxes

[wallygatorca]

My Full Size/Deep Contractor's Kobalt Truck box lid just took a dump (hinge weld broke) after 3yrs. and 3 days. Serviced 5-6 days a week of solid work for that time. Probably opened and closed 10-12 times a day, storing tools, wet pumps, and misc.

Bought for $298 Jan. 6, 2009.

Broke on Jan. 9th, 2012.

Replaced by Lowes with no hassle whatsoever on Jan. 9th, 2012.

Price had inflated to $348, but replaced for free.

In 2009 sliding plastic drawer tray was included for free. Not with this new one.

Called 888-3Kobalt first and they told me to take it back to the store and I'd have no probs. They were right and I'm stoked!

Just a follow-up...

I thought that the truckboxes only carried a3 year warranty, but turns out it's Lifetime.

Ah! Nice way to start the day, with a "Good News" story. Have some Kobalt tools and have no complaints. Have done business on and off with Lowes for a number of years and have had very few problems and none that weren't resolved to my satisfaction. Aaaand they do the 10% veterans discount yet. Not so the other guys.

I bought a small (12" inside width) x60" box for my 2005 Chev. Colorado in 2008. Went to put it on and the fenderwells hit the bottom!! Started to carry it back, but had a guy at our bodyshop cut out a 4" section on each corner and weld in a section of 1/8" aluminum plate bent 90 degrees. Box fits and the little corners are good storage spots for aerosol cans! Bought an extra locking latch and put on the right side for extra peace of mind. Box works well and is FULL!!
