## Story

The new 2s line offers quality tool storage for students and entry-level technicians with great features mechanic's love and new innovations that make these toolboxes both functional and durable. "We designed this line to include options that technicians need when they are just starting their careers with the same great quality you expect from a Matco toolbox," Dan Christopher, Manager of the Matco Tool Storage Plant stated. The new line includes a power drawer to keep power tools charged and ready to go as well as increased storage capacity with a taller second drawer.

"We want entry-level technicians to get their career started with everything they need and a toolbox that will be able to grow with them at a budget-friendly price point," Dan added.

The 2-bay 2s line is available in 5 standard colors with black trim including Sapphire Blue, Fire Red, Pale Horse White, Outlaw Black and Thunderstorm Grey. New features include aluminum overwrapped handles that protect them from scratches and a standard kickplate for added durability and protection. Matco has a long-standing tradition of top quality and a dedication to creating an even stronger, more industrious toolbox to better protect your tools.

Technicians can still count on Matco's T-shaped center shelf and inner walls that are fully welded at the connection points to ensure the toolboxes are the most sturdy, stable and secure boxes in the industry.

The 2s line of toolboxes and accessories are available exclusively from Matco Tools.
