Stanley Truck Box Fun

By Sean O'Hara

The thing about having tools around the shop is we tend to use them for things they weren’t intended for. The Stanley Guard System truck-toolbox is a rugged piece of solid gear. While in the shop for testing, we discovered it also doubles as a handy beer cooler.

Not only are the folks at Stanley not full of crap about this bad boy being water-tight from the inside or outside, but when deployed in what we call the “beer configuration” you can lock those mooching free-loaders who didn’t bring any beer to the Christmas party out of the holiday spirits. Plus, large wheels on one end and a handle on the other made it easy to pull the thing outside and dump the leftover water.

The toolbox was a huge hit with our friends of the shop. However we must give one small piece of advise about this setup — make sure you write the code down before you start enjoying too many of the contents inside. Otherwise you might have a bunch of loaded up middle-aged tool guys frantically trying codes and reading toolbox instructions to try and get back in. We’re just saying; it could happen.
