Known on the jobsite as "gang boxes", there are many brands, sizes and styles.

Uh, names of products quite commonly use misspellings.

Ever had a "lite" beer?

 

[bluestrobe]

They named it that way probably so they could copyright/trademark the name instead of using a common name which would have led to more legal issues.

they are called job boxes. the brand name that the company came up with is jobox. they just took out a b and made it one word. you could also call it a connex. usually a connex is a bit larger, like a mobile mini size. they really are like huge tool boxes tho. lots of space at the bottom, trays on top and a few we have fold out to be a table to write on and lay out blue prints.

edit: i forgot about some people calling them gang boxes. we have a couple guys that call em that too.

I'm guessing it has something to do with trademarks... job box is a combination of two common English words. JoBox is a made up word.

NO way.
It's SARB-OX

It's pronounced "¡Hó Bó!". Just ask the workers at any job site and this is the answer you will get 90% of the time!

[MotionMan]

The brand name is pronounced "job-box";

The item is called a "job box" or a "gang box."

We just call them the gang box or tool box, JoBox is a brand name, Greenlee makes very good ones too.
