The 10 Best ATV Tool Boxes

The UWS ATV-BLK (about $270) has a foamed lid that acts as a wall between the aluminum layers, preventing the box from bending or warping. That, combined with its one-piece tub design, enables it to stand up under quite a bit of weight, so feel free to stack gear on top of it.

The rubberized seal on the Brait BR302B (about $189) keeps mud and debris away from your equipment, even if you spend all day off-roading. Once you're parked and in need of a wrench, the stainless steel chains hold the lid in place while you root around inside.

This option from K & W Mnf (around $155) is two feet long, giving you plenty of room for all of your gear, with enough space left over for a jacket and your lunch. It's great for your truck as well, so don't be afraid to switch it out when you're done puttering around on your ATV.

The Brite-Tread aluminum finish on the Dee Zee M207 (appx. $192) won't oxidize or rust, so you don't have to rush out and cover up your Polaris in the middle of a thunderstorm. The inside is just one large tub, but it's simple enough to craft your own dividers.

This aluminum-diamond plating selection from Better Built (about $110) has plenty of room for all your tools, as it's 20" long and 12" wide. There are paddle-style handles on the side, but none on the top, which limits your carrying options somewhat.

The rear-mounted Plano 1510-01 (appx. $108) has thick walls that allow you to stack equipment on top of it without crushing all the gear inside. The elastomeric straps keep it securely closed, while also making it easy to get to your stuff when you need it.

The Kolpin Explorer (around $68) is made of rotomolded plastic. That cuts down on its durability somewhat, but it also means that it can better handle drops and dings, and it won't warp in extreme temperatures — so feel free to take it out on the sand dunes in the scorching heat.

The classic RanchEx 102422 (appx. $31) is made of heavy-gauge steel with a latch mechanism that's easy to slap a padlock on for added security. It comes with sturdy mounting hardware, to boot, so you can keep it attached as resolutely as you keep it closed.

The lightweight Lund Challenger Series Brite (about $179) can be mounted on the front or back of your vehicle, and is easy to carry from your ride to your workstation. Of course, it's light because the aluminum is thin, so don't expect it to deter thieves for long.

Just because your storage container rests on the rear of your vehicle doesn't mean that it can't obstruct your view at an inopportune moment. The Kolpin Trail (around $127) is contoured to stay out of your field of vision, so you can look over your shoulder and see more than plastic.
