Only carry two tools.
A hammer and a big hammer.

I can fix most stuff with a hammer but, if that don't work I go at it with a big hammer.

All of the fishing stuff is in the boat where it should be. Welding stuff is on another trailer.
So now we know whose toolbox to break into so we can buy more beer.

x2 on what tumba said. As long as gasket is in good condition and your not in a high humidity area you should be alright. I am running a 27" weatherguard. It has a few dewalt cordless things. LOTS of wrenches. A 24" and 36" Ridgid Pipe wrench. Oil absorbant diapers. I have a 20lb fire extinguisher bracket attached to a piece of angle aluminum that braces is against the bottom of the toolbox and bed. (No holes in toolbox).

I also have an igloo 1ce cube rated at 55 cans.

Used to keep a hydraulic jack in there, until it leaked some oil out. Never did/will get it all cleaned out no matter how much I try with brake cleaner and paper towels.

Right now I keep some motor oil, a baseball bat (don't ask) and some chains. And a tool box with some sockets and odd parts.

I keep Dewalt cordless drill, recipricating saw, flashlight, battery charger and batteries, a skill saw, lots of hand tools and a screw box in my tool box. I haven't had any problems with rust unless I leave the top opened, get busy and forget to close it if it rains.
