At 12-D Toolbox Sales, we believe your tools deserve better than a mass-produced plastic bin or a flimsy overseas import. That’s why every toolbox we offer is built with one core philosophy in mind: real durability for real work. Handcrafted by our partners at Upland Manufacturing in Canada and finished with precision for American tradespeople, these toolboxes are made to be used hard—and built to last a lifetime.
Whether you’re wrenching in the garage, hauling gear across state lines, or working the fields, your toolbox should be as tough as your day. And we’re proud to say ours are.
The Story Behind the Craftsmanship
Back in 1988, a family-run shop called Upland Manufacturing opened its doors in Canada. They started small—designing rugged, dustproof cabinets for local farmers. But word spread fast. Their reputation for durability soon caught the attention of the oil and gas industry, and they scaled up production while sticking to their core: build it right, or don’t build it at all.
Today, Upland’s facility includes state-of-the-art CNC lasers, press brakes, and rollers—but don’t let the machinery fool you. Every unit is still handcrafted with care and field-tested before it ever reaches our shelves.
These are not mass-produced boxes. They’re built in small batches by skilled tradespeople who understand the environments these boxes are headed for—dusty barns, cold job sites, oil fields, and highways.
The 12-D Standard: More Than Just Storage
At 12-D, we’ve spent years working in and around construction, agriculture, and trade industries. We’ve felt the pain of broken latches, seized drawers, and tool chaos. That’s why we partnered with Upland—to bring you a product line that’s not just strong, but smart.
Here’s what sets us apart:
Engineered by Tradesmen
We’ve got over 60 years of combined experience on our team. That means every latch, hinge, divider, and drawer setup is informed by people who’ve lived the grind—not just theorized it.
Field-Ready Durability
Our toolboxes are weatherproof, dustproof, and battle-tested. From powder-coated aluminum to 250-lb-rated roller drawers, everything is overbuilt for longevity.
Smart, Practical Design
Whether it’s gas struts for smoother opening, push-button locks for added security, or trays that hold 100+ sockets and wrenches in one drawer—we think through the little things so your day runs smoother.
Built in Canada. Trusted Across the U.S.
While our boxes are fabricated by hand in Canada, they’re made with the American tradesperson in mind. Every dimension, accessory, and bracket is designed to fit seamlessly with the work trucks and field equipment commonly used across the U.S.
And the demand is growing.
From Missouri to Montana, more and more of our customers are leaving behind the throwaway brands and choosing handcrafted, high-performance storage that actually keeps up. And with our warehouse based in Paris, Missouri, we’re able to fulfill U.S. orders quickly and efficiently—often with free shipping or pickup discounts for local buyers.
Why These Toolboxes Just Make Sense
Here’s why more pros are upgrading:
-
Tool Access Over Storage Size
It's not about how much you can stuff in a box. It's about how fast you can find what you need. With pre-labeled trays and dividers, our systems reduce clutter and save time. -
No More Plastic or Thin-Gauge Steel
Every toolbox we offer uses high-grade aluminum, stainless hardware, and commercial-grade locks. You won't be replacing this next year—or the year after. -
Multi-Use Versatility
From agriculture and ranching to mobile mechanics, linemen, and weekend off-roaders—these boxes serve more than one job. And they’re ready when you are. -
Looks as Good as It Works
Let’s be real—function comes first, but a sleek, powder-coated finish never hurts. These aren’t the kind of boxes you hide. They elevate your truck’s look while earning their keep.

We’re proud to offer boxes that do just that.
