Video Transcript for Review of UWS Truck Tool Box - Crossover Tool Box - UWS87TR

Hi, everyone. Steve here with etrailer. Let's take a look at the UWS truck bed toolbox with push button on both sides for opening. Now, this is a crossover style toolbox. It is an angled kind of design, 72 inches wide across the front, and it's a bright aluminum construction. So get right into it, folks.

The first thing I wanna look at is you have tie downs on both ends, an extra little add-on that they have, which I personally like. And then you have these push button buttons here on the side, and I will try my best to show you a better view without knocking this over here. So you can see it here, I can push it, obviously it's gonna open the lid and close the lid. They're gonna give you keys included. They do feature nice plastic ends.

And what's nice is with this key, once you lock this, you push in and turn it, and once you actually get it locked here, now all that button is recessed inside, it's flush, you can't access it, you can't get it open until you take that key and unlock it, and then and only then will that pop back out and then allow you to open the toolbox. So again, I like that feature, it makes it nice and secure, and that's on both sides of the toolbox. I do want to come from the top down here and let's take a look inside. And as you can see, you do get a nice plastic tray included. And if you take that up at an angle, you can get that out.

It's only a couple inches deep, and like I said, it pops back in at an angle. And then stepping around here, you got holes on this built-in side compartment here. So you can put screwdrivers and whatnot. Same thing on the driver's side. And then you have a compartment here, and this has carpet, and the bottom piece has carpet in it as well.

And it's pretty deep. I can reach down the side and I can fit this whole impact kit. The whole toolbox from the outside is 21 inches deep or tall from bottom to top. You have gas struts on both sides and on the bar across the front here where the latches work, they've covered that, so that protects that crossbar, which if you have an older toolbox like I do in my truck, that's a thing of kind of an issue or can be an issue because that bar, if you get this full to the top, like mine is, mine's overflowing, I get some straps and stuff from the webbing stuck on that and sometimes it doesn't wanna open and close. So this is a nice feature I wish mine had. And then of course they've got a foam gasket around it, keeping everything dust-free, you know, those kind of things. And UWS, they're the only toolbox that if you see these little black hole coverings, they actually inject an expandable foam inside of their lid, and they have the patent on that, and that keeps that really impact resistant. So whenever you see toolboxes that have been on the highway and stuff, a lot of times you'll see dents in 'em and that kind of stuff, not gonna see that with UWS, because they have a very, very sturdy lid, and they've got that reinforcement in there, which does make a big difference honestly. Now zooming back out, I do want to go ahead and go over dimensions. As I mentioned before, 72 across the top. That's technically from the edge of that piece. If you count the stick out buttons, it's 73 3/4 inches long. But the most important part you need to worry about is the height and the depth. So again, 21 inches tall and 20 1/2 inches deep. So it should fit most full size pickup bed lengths. Obviously, you can put it in a short bed. Just know, you know, it's gonna take up a lot more space, that's gonna leave you with less space as far as that goes. You do get pre-drilled holes in the side of it and everything and all the hardware to mount it. And you get some foam pads that go underneath the side rails, so when you put this on the side rails of your truck rather, it's not gonna scratch that up. It's gonna have cushion, it's gonna have a nice seal there as well. So everything's gonna stay dry inside. Again, simple push button to open and close, keys included. This is the UWS truck bed toolbox. I'm Steven, reach out if you have any questions about this or any other products, and have a great day.
