I plan to use this in the bed of my truck as a tool box, is it water resistant enough to be able to do that?

I think it would be waterproof enough, but I'm not sure I would use it as a tool box. I would consider using it as a box to store things like jumper cables and emergency supplies, but when i had a tool box in my truck, it got rough service of throwing and pulling tools in and out of it daily - I don't think it would last long under those conditions.

Yes, it is definitely waterproof. However, whether it is durable enough for a tool box in a truck is questionable. I use it to transport camping gear which means I only use it a few times a year. Using it as a tool box means you probably will be using it daily and I doubt if the plastic hinge will hold up.

I don't use it that way. I do have it in the back of my pickup with a cover over the bed. It would be water proof to an extent but I wouldn't wanna put tools in it that can rust.

I used it camping. It was on the ground under the edge of a canopy in a hard rain that lasted hours. It surprised me when I opened it and it had 1/4" of water in the bottom. With the latches all around I really expected it to be dry. Plano told me I should have purchased a dry box that water resistance did not mean rain proof. Basically they just have a lousy lid design. I wouldn't place anything in this box that I would not want to get wet. Some weather stripping and ingenuity could overcome the poor design.

Water resistant, I'd say, yes. Waterproof, no. I sent mine through the washer by accident and it had some issues for a few days before completely drying out.

By no means is this water resistant. It is just a metal locking box with a very simple cable attachment and small combination lock.

I would say no. There is a hatch that lifts for storage and it's not water resistant. It does have small gaps (normal for an indoor bench) and water could easily get in.

Technically yes, but the box is very light duty and could easily be broken into if left exposed in the back of a open truck bed.

I would say it is water resistant for use in the rain, but I would not use it underwater. I don't recall anything mentioned in the packaging material saying it was for use underwater or being waterproof.

I have used it in a driving rainstorm for more than 6 hours with no issue so I would have to say yes it is water resistant

Sorry no it is not. You can make it "water resistant" yourself with plasti dip. But over all a awesome truck worth the money and tons of fun for crawling.

No, It is water resistant as it has a coating on the top and seems to hold up to our snow but I would not call it water proof. Very solid.

I dont know, We've used it to hold a metal rail to a metal overhead cabinet sliding door, and for plastic repairs, I've personaly used it to fix a corner hole in my tail light cover so I can say that it is water proof once dry. I also tried to use it in a screw whole where the whole was stripped out but that didnt hold do to constant use. sorry I could answer your question.

It is waterproof but I don't think you could do that. I have contacted on the back of my truck and it's in a hidden place but gets a lot of water when it rains

Yes it can. I wash mine with it closed, at a touch less high pressure truck wash with blower at the end to dry the truck and not had any water leaks or problems with the cover.

It's hard to say. I've only put mine up twice so far, last summer, and I seem to recall that if the back of the tent is not supported by the cab of the truck, you could get wet. I used it with a Honda Ridgeline, and since the tent is not really designed for that truck, I had to be careful to tuck the back of the tent up against the truck (or into the rear window) when it rained.

No, unfortunately a cover will not go over the tool box. (I'm assuming by truck cover you mean a 'Tonneau' soft or hard covers.) The box does project a little above the box frame (About 2-3 inches).

No issues. This thing doesn't waterproof your bed however. There are sections that will leak a little water in especially with the force of pressurized water, but other than that it holds up fine in a car wash. I've even taken it through the type with spinning brushes and it has never had any issues. That's if you secure it properly of course.

No it cannot. Even if it could, keep in mind this is a light duty tool box. I use it for hobby stuff which does not weigh very much. I would never put my mechanic or construction tools in this box, to light weight and not secure.

I can't say it would be completely waterproof but it comes with rubber boot type thing that goes over the ends of the amp to protect it from water but I'm not sure how much they will help I mounted in the little side compartment where my tool kit goes it fit well an is out of weather just incase
