What are the minuses of the Weatherguard production?
It's hard to talk about real minuses of this product. Yes, you can find some really negative customer reviews but I see them as fake responds. And you won't say a lot of bad things about the box provided that you really used it. And still there are some words to say about minuses of the construction.
First thing is that the cheapest models are produced not so well as the expensive ones. You could also note that the company saves some money on metal in cheap versions and also gives no additional possibilities in these models. So I just recommend you to buy middle price range things and not look at the cheapest ones.
One more minus to remember here is quite big weight. But on the other hand, you won't expect to get a really wonderful tool box with not a big weight. It's made of metal and it's supposed to be quite heavy. Though it will change the way your truck behaves a little bit. It changes the weight centre and affects steering.
What is the best place to buy Weatherguard Boxes?
Tool box is a really heavy and huge thing. So, you aren't supposed to carry it on your own from the nearest car shop. I'm sure you can find a lot of options in the big shops around your city or town. But what is more comfortable is to order delivery in a big shop in the internet. In such internet stores as Amazon you can find best price and also best delivery options and relieve yourself from carrying such loads on your own.
I also don't see any reasons why not to use official website of the company. You could order the chosen option in the internet and also get all needed production documents and other wonderful pros out of your purchase. There are loads of wonderful things to note in this way of buying. Also you can get more information on some special model of the tool boxes if you visit the official website pages and read the data there.
