Wooden tool box
A wooden tool box is literally a tool box made out of wood. Truck tool boxes are generally made of metal, but there are also wooden tool boxes. We will introduce the features and benefits of wooden tool boxes.
Lauan material is used for the material of the wooden tool box.
The material of the wooden tool box is lauan, which is often used for building materials and furniture materials. Lauan wood is a tropical wood that has a rough surface with no clear grain.
Since lauan wood is a wood, it has disadvantages such as being weak against water and prone to bugs, but by applying varnish to the surface, it can be used for a long time because it has insect repellent, antiseptic, and water repellent effects. All Yamada Body Works wooden tool boxes are varnished on the surface, so they can be installed as they are after purchase.
Wooden tool boxes are made from natural materials. Since the trees are alive, they are characterized by being large during the humid rainy season and small during the dry winter. Especially in winter, there may be a gap between the plates of the tool box, but please understand that it is not a defect but a natural phenomenon.
In the truck body industry, wooden tool boxes have been around since the beginning of the industry. In recent years, the production of wooden tool boxes has almost disappeared in favor of stainless steel tool boxes, which are light, rust-resistant and easy to manufacture. However, Yamada Body Works is still selling it.
Features and sizes of wooden tool boxes
