Here are some notable benefits of the BAKBox 2 toolbox:

Organize Tools

BAKBox helps organize tools

The BAKBox 2 helps you organize your tools in the truck bed without having to throw them together with your other cargo. When you need your tools, you access your BAKBox 2 toolbox and retrieve them.

The BAKBox is installed below the surface of the tonneau cover and above the floor of your truck. This allows you to store items such as lumber or drywall underneath the toolbox while giving you the option of using it with items that you can tie down, for example, racks and rails.

The BAKBox 2 has a sliding tray for small objects that would otherwise shift from side to side in the toolbox. 

Are you going for a picnic and want to carry some drinks, fruits, or food? The sliding tray on the BAKBox is a suitable tool to place all your small items on your drive. 

The toolbox is also insulated and can work great as an ice chest. So, it is not the standard traditional toolbox for storing screwdrivers and the like, you can store your soft drinks and food as you drive around over the weekend. 

You can also fold down a panel and use your BAKBox as a shelf.

Offers Security for Valuable Items, Stays Hidden

BAK Revolver Closed

Imagine a toolbox that sits up above your truck bed rails telling everyone that there are valuable tools inside! It invites thieves regardless of whether there are any tools inside or not.

But, unlike other toolboxes that are stacked on top of the tonneau cover, the BAKBox 2 is underneath your tonneau cover offering security to your valuable tools.

It is completely invisible when closed. You are the only one who knows it is there because you have stored your valuable tools in it. Your truck can be used for play, work, and everything else while your important tools are safely stored in the invisible toolbox. 

Better still, when the tailgate is locked, it will be even more difficult for thieves to access. This helps prevents the potential theft of your tools. 

The BAKBox is for you if you value the security of your valuable items.

Strong Enough to Hold 250 Lbs of Weight

Strong enough to hold 250 pounds

The BAKBox 2 is made from strong double-sided aluminum or composite panels that make it not only strong but also durable.

The BAKBox 2 toolbox can hold up to 250lbs of evenly distributed weight. You can put heavy tools and objects inside the toolbox without worrying about potential overloading.

The toolbox is constructed such that its lid is the actual BAKFlip tonneau cover panels.

It is also durable because it is always covered by the tonneau cover that protects it from the weather elements.

Your BAKFlip or BAK Revolver tonneau can withstand up to 400 lbs of weight. Now, if you have the BAKBox toolbox, you have the advantage of carrying an extra 250 lbs of weight.

Undoubtedly, the BAKBox 2 toolbox allows you to carry extra weighty tools- something you are less likely to find in the traditional truck toolboxes.
