Everything But The Kitchen Sink…

Thanks to growing up in motorsports and trucking my entire life, the need to carry tools and spares has been ingrained into my DNA. Equivalent to a fashionista packing four full suitcases for a weekend getaway, I will literally load the truck and trailer with every spare in the shop and every tool for a three-day riding trip. Why? Mostly because I’m the one in charge of maintaining the fleet of UTVs everywhere we go, but also because I’ve been in enough situations to know you can’t be too prepared. Whether it’s for your own vehicle or helping fix someone else’s. One thing I’ve learned is that if you have it, you generally won’t need it, but if you leave it at home you most certainly will. But, the main thing I have learned in the last few years is most UTV owners are severely lacking in the tool department. Whether you have the ability to work on a UTV yourself or not, you should still be prepared.
For those that are not mechanically inclined and even for those that are, it’s hard to go down to Harbor Freight, spend a ton of money on cheap tools, and hope you have everything you need. Unless you’ve serviced every nut, bolt, and part on your UTV, you probably don’t already know what tools you will need. It might not be such a big deal when just working in the garage, but imagine being out on the trail, something happens, and you realize you weren’t as prepared as you thought you were. Boxo Tools recognized this as a problem and came up with a great solution. The Boxo Tool Bag really has everything you need to get nearly any job done on the trail.
The Boxo Tool Bag was well thought out by people who know what it takes to fix vehicles. On top of all the quality hand tools in the kit, there is also a test light for the pesky electrical gremlins, electrical tape, gloves, a tire plug kit, and my personal favorite tool, the hammer. This bag is an essential grab-and-go bag for your on-road or off-road vehicles. It even works well for marine applications. If you’re like me and plan ahead by bringing the shop on your trip, you know one of the hardest parts of carrying all the tools you need is how to neatly store them out of the way until you need them.
The Boxo Tool Bag fits all of its contents in one well-designed bag that opens up to reveal four semi-clear zippered bags which are velcroed in place, and a tool roll that rests in the center. The heavy-duty zipper is backed up with a strap around the whole bag to ensure that it will never come unzipped. They also left some room, because they know guys like me have personal tools that we don’t travel without. Add to that, the lifetime warranty is not only on the tools, but the bag itself. Owning the Boxo Tool Bag is a no-brainer, and will definitely eventually save your day.
