Types of Tool Boxes and Cabinets The most common materials used for construction are steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and plastic. Steel designs are the most durable of all tool box and cabinet types. They provide exceptional strength and longevity and are easy to care for.

Small tools Fill your toolbox with basics such as a set of Allen keys, a measuring tape, electrical and duct tape, a builder's knife and the all-important builder's pencil (or a few if yours often go walkabout).

The gauge of steel used in its construction is critical. The typical gauge of steel used to build the frame falls into the 14-22G range. The lower the number, the thicker, and more durable the material. A roller cabinet made with 16G steel is more durable than one made of G20 steel.
