It doesn’t take long for novice tradespeople to discover the answer to this question. You need a tool box because you simply cannot do your job without one. Whether you are a carpenter, electrician, plumber, house painter or just a dedicated DIYer you need to be able to bring at least a minimal complement of tools with you to the jobsite and carrying them individually by hand is just not going to work. To a tradesman a tool box is every bit as essential as the briefcase is to the high powered attorney or investment banker. It’s how you transport the tools that allow you to do your job.\r
