The Kobalt toolbox isn't the toughest thing in the world, but for my purposes it works great. If you just need to carry around tools and a hitch around, for 150 bucks you cant go wrong. If you're gonna be using the hell out of it i'd spend the extra money on a better toolbox

make sure you get one that locks and unlocks (the whole box) on both sides, not just one. I can't tell you how many times I've had to hop into the bed or walk around the truck, unlock the box, then walk back to the other side.
it just gets annoying. Anyway here's what I got
delta low pro toolbox
$80 on craigslist (free for me- christmas present)

That's pretty close to the one I picked up looks like. I'm fixing to take a picture of it right now, I've been spending some time polishing it today (good indoor project with the crappy weather this morning). I picked it up for about $70, and although a lil more beat up and used than it looked in the pictures, it will be fine for what I'm going to use it for: storage, some tools, hitches, etc. Once I get a nice full day of sunshine n warm weather, I'm going to pull it back out of the truck n hit it with the Mother's Powerball on high speed. The combination of high speed and some pressure on the ball resulted in a good shine in a few parts, but slings chrome polish all over. The low speed worked well to just get a bunch of the crud off of it that was on there to begin with.

Looks pretty good. I'll bet you can get it looking like new if you polish it enough. Even where it's at right now looks fine though. That's a good find for $70.
