Top Commercial Van and Truck Accessories for Electrical ContractorsSo you’re an electrical contractor and you need a place to store your stuff. Well, you have a place to store your stuff and it’s called a commercial van or truck, but you’re tired of having rolls of wire pile up, power tools rattling around and drill bits and connectors rolling all over the place. And the floorboard is no place for those expensive Klein crimpers, not to mention that pricey volt meter.
What you need is a little organization. No, we're not saying you need stacks of Tupperware bins with pretty little labels from your wife’s label maker. What you need is something heavy duty, strong and durable enough to keep up with you and your electrical tools and equipment. It’ll need to be manly enough to show to your friends and coworkers without mumbling something about your wife helping out.
