{"product_id":"uws-18-in-drawer-truck-tool-box-gloss-black-ds-18-blk","title":"UWS 18\" Drawer Truck Tool Box, Gloss Black (DS-18-BLK)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFive drawers, one lock, and a footprint that gives most of your bed back. The UWS DS-18-BLK is a 18\" wide drawer box that mounts upright in the truck bed and turns loose tools into something you can actually find. The five commercial-grade precision-injected drawers sit behind a single lockable door, so the whole set is secured by one T-handle rather than five separate latches, and the door carries MicroSeal weather stripping to keep grime and moisture off what is inside. Capacity is 1.5ft³ across the drawers, the shell is extra-thick aluminum finished in gloss black powder coat, and the whole box stands 18.75\" tall on a 18\" by 7.75\" footprint. Like all UWS truck tool boxes, it is designed, fabricated and welded in Florida.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUWS DS-18-BLK drawer truck tool box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive precision-injected drawers, fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour hex bolts, 1\/4\" x 1-1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight flat washers, 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour nyloc nuts, 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicroSeal weather stripping, fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUWS installation sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\" style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Hc7iq340KQE\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFive Drawers Behind One Lock\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe drawers are commercial-grade and precision-injected, and they sit inside the box behind a single lockable door. That is the practical advantage over an open chest: everything has a place, and one turn of one key secures the lot rather than leaving you to check five separate latches in the dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.5ft³ of Organized Storage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTotal drawer capacity is 1.5ft³. It is not a large number compared with an open crossover box, and it is not meant to be. Drawer volume buys you the ability to put your hand on a specific socket or a specific fitting in seconds, which on a working truck is worth more than another cubic foot of pile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUpright Footprint Keeps the Bed Usable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 18\" wide and only 7.75\" front to back, the box stands against the bulkhead or the wheel well and leaves the floor of the bed open.

It is what keeps road grit and rain out of the drawers, and it is the difference between tools that come out clean and tools that come out gritty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtra-Thick Welded Aluminum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeavy-wall aluminum with welded seams, finished in gloss black powder coat over a diamond-plate surface.

That matters mainly for what it buys you as an owner: a real engineering department, a published warranty, and a parts counter that still stocks handles, cylinders and strikers for boxes sold years ago. UWS builds tool boxes the way a fleet buyer would spec them, out of heavy-wall aluminum with fully welded seams rather than folded and riveted corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things separate a UWS box from a bargain box on a shelf. The first is the patented RigidCore lid, a foam-injected core that fills the lid cavity so the panel does not oil-can, drum or dish when somebody stands on it. The second is MicroSeal weather stripping, a thick automotive-style seal that runs the full perimeter and keeps dust and water out of the tub on washboard roads and in driving rain. Add stainless hardware, a lock that is actually worth locking and a lid that holds itself open, and you have a box that still works after the winters that finish cheaper boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized UWS dealer. Every box we ship is new, factory-packed, covered by the full UWS factory warranty, and backed by a parts supply that means a lost key or a tired handle never turns into a replaced tool box.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48935844315380,"sku":"UWSDS-18-BLK","price":666.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/uws-18-in-drawer-truck-tool-box-gloss-black-ds-18-blk-front-three-quarter.webp?v=1785303302","url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/products\/uws-18-in-drawer-truck-tool-box-gloss-black-ds-18-blk","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
