Tool chests in vehicles dont last it's a very harsh environment for them!
Even snap on ones crack up after a few years

The trick is not to overfill a tool chest, keep the weight down & they do last an awful lot longer.
The last 2 I used were a Clarke ( machine mart heavy duty ) with a smaller Sykes Pickavant chest on top of it.
Both lasted very well & both are still very good boxes sitting unused in my garage.

Does the snap on warranty cover them for vehicle use?
Gearmate do a pull out top to go on top of the drawers or just a pull out tray you could bolt your own boxes on.

Mate has a snap on "Road chest" its stood up very well considering he drags it about in a container on an Ifor.
He wrecked two ordinary boxes first before this one though.

I have a tool marque top chest, got it when i was in the trade several years ago, much better than the beta I had before, and I seem to remember the price was reasonable at the time.
