Storage solutions that prevent tool theft

Research from Direct Line reported that more than £83 million worth of tools had been stolen across England and Wales between 2017 and 2019.

These types of crimes include thieves stealing tools from lorries and vans and opportunist thieves stealing tools from building sites. 

Unfortunately, thieves know that tools can be worth a lot of money. Ensuring tools are kept safeguarded and out of the way of unwanted personnel, will prevent loss of tools and money. 

With this surge in tool theft, a lot of manufacturers have began to cater for builders and building sites by developing tool storage systems that secure tools to ensure protection. 

Two of the UK's leading manufactures for tool storage are Tuffbox and Van Vault. Read below to find out more about these brands and why their products are some of the best security solutions on the market. 

Tuffboxes

The brand Tuffbox is part of Constant group and are based in Oldham just outside of Manchester. They have been been manufacturing security solutions for vehicles and construction sites since 1970. As you can see, Tuffboxes are known for their striking blue colour.

Tuffboxes design secure storage boxes and tool boxes to keep tools secure and away from opportunist thieves. Their thick steel construction, anti-drill locks and heavy duty hinges help to provide maximum protection. 

3D modelling software is used to create these innovative designs and helps the team to keep on improving their products. 

These products are suitable for the outdoors, thanks to their textured powder coating finish that provides weather protection.
