Will this toolbox withstand a high pressure touch-free car wash without any leaks? Thank you in advance for your insightful answer.

I have not had any leaks with mine and I have run it through a car wash quite a few times.

Yes, I own two of them and go through the car wash every week - no problem. Great tool box - worth the extra money.

Absolutely. This thing is bomb-proof. Very well made and well worth the $$$

I run it through the car wash on a consistent basis with no leaks. Seal is water tight! The box is worth every penny.

I use mine for watering flowers and in the dairy barn for washing udders. I do not need alot of pressure for this. I think washing the car would be Okay, but I don't know about the house. If you hook to a pressure washer I would think that it would be good. I love these. I have several of them!

Shouldn't be a problem. The pressure washer will boost the pressue to the needed levels...in fact, that is what they are designed to do.

Regrettably I do not use a car wash. It has remained totally secure with regular washing

They tell you on the package insert to NOT use it with a turn off valve IF connected to a spray nozzle. I didn't head that warning and mine burst after a month. So I would guess that it wouldn't be a good idea with a high pressure washer. You should call the manufacturer just to make sure. By the way, a second one was kept outside not stored inside as the package insert recommends, and it leaked in three places after a month of light use.

It's doubtful...unless the surface is perfectly smooth, suction will not be maintained. The StickyCup works by combining suction with the gummy rim on the cup that assures a good seal. If there is any texture on the glove box, air will eventually leak in, allowing the seal to fail.

I'm not sure about pressure washing, would not advise that. I have gone thru several car washes with no problems. I have put it thru some brutal winter conditions also and so far it has held up great.

Handles car washes great I run it through a car wash once a week and no issues may bend back a little of move to the side but can always be adjusted

Hi! I may have answered already, but here is: No, this toolbox won't survive the airlines' handling (if you can call so). I purchased two of them, and both had the handler broken in about one week. It is not strong, it is not well balanced, I would say it does not hold the "Stanley Quality". I gave ti to the crew that cleans our office and they love it (just carry some bottles of cleaning, and some paper towel rolls.

I've had no problems with leakage with it falling over in the car but that was never for more than a couple of hours and I usually didn't have a thin liquid in it. I would try to keep it upright if possible though.

Hi Sylvia . . . I'm in N. California and it isn't rainy season, yet. But, I like a clean'n shiny tool box so, I wash my tool box (soap and water hose) often. The inside stays "dry as a bone"!!

I have not tested it but repeated high pressure wash will most likely to cause peeling as it is stated on the instruction not to use a high pressure wash.

Wow, there are so many types of car washes, and I can only address the question from the standpoint of my local car wash, which is a soft flop up/down type of cleaning system. It is not the heavy roller brush type. With this qualification, I have had no problems with any damage or any type of failure of the product. I do note that the instructions mentioned that automatic car washers are not recommended.

It appears to be well built and sturdy with brass fittings. But hoses under constant pressure can leak or burst. I don't think it is designed like a washer hose. Hope this helps

I have installed several of these in both cast aluminum and steel drain pans. There is a term called "snug" which applies. Tighten it firmly, but not too tight. The worst that will happen if it is not tight enough is a leak. Then you tighten it just a hair more. If you overtighten it, you could strip something - although not likely. The supplied washer works fine. I have never had a leak! Enjoy the valve. It makes oil changes a breeze.

I've had mine for over two years and have a monthly membership at a local auto wash. I'm guessing I've been through the auto wash 100+ times without any issues. Don't expect it to be completely watertight, though. I get a small amount of water in the box each time through.

I would never use this with a pressure washer, I don't think it is designed for that level of pressure.
