Tool Box and Bed Cover?

Any of y'all have a tool box with a bed cover? And if you do, what cover did you go with? Thinking of doing this to a 15 Chevy. TIA

I don't have one but a friend of mine has the BAKFlip cover for his truck and he has a drop in tool box for it, its not quite as big as a traditional tool box but its a decent size.
He has had nothing but good things to say about it.

You looking at a roll up or flip up? I don't see how either one would keep the water out. I have a low profile tool box and there is a 1/4" gap between the box and the front of the bed. I'm interested in hearing from someone that has one.

I agree. Not sure how water would keep out unless someone's developed a good seal where it meets the box. Hence, why I'm here asking questions

They address where the tool box meets the cover. How well it works I don't know.
What about the front? Mine looks similar to this with about a 1/4" gap.

Those are definitely nice. Not sure I want to drop that kind of coin though... Get what you pay for though I guess.
ETA: I would go with the BAK Revolver X2 before that though simply because it doesn't take out the backglass view when it's rolled up.

But it does take up about 10" of bedspace. Folding bed covers are the tits. Do you not have side view mirrors on your truck?

Ha. Yeah, but I had the X2 on my Ford and loved it, so I'm partial to it.

I have a BAK RollX, which I like, but I have the box sitting on the floor of the bed. I didn't like losing so much of the bed space by having the box a foot back from the front of the bed.
If I were to do it again, I would probably go with Fold-a-Cover
I like that there is no unused space between the box and the cover. I also like that the cover lays flat when it's open, making it safer to drive with (not only because the window isn't blocked, but I have had a friend whose tri-fold cover bounced on the back window and broke it.)
That said, I don't know anyone who has one, so it may suck.
