Re: Tool boxes

speaking of Snap-on snobs...

I worked out of my box as a professional heavy junk mechanic and enjoyed the benefits of their construction and tool load capacity..

being not too shabby at my trade, I managed to buy ALL of my Snap-on with cash and never carried a balance on a truck..

now this box is nearly 20 years old and a luxury item for a home garage but entirely paid for so I'm keeping it!


for a home use box that will be sturdy, long lasting, and hold up to a reasonable tool load and use, Craftsman..

their professional series are economical and always going on sale for one reason or another..

I bought my first three bay from a Sears that had a scratch and dent aisle and saved like 60%, may be an outlet store near you if they still exist..

they have a good selection of sizes and shapes and you can expand with matching components..

things to look at; replaceable ball bearing slides, doubles on deep drawers, drawer latches, cube space and drawer bottom surface area, etc.

maybe something like this $1300 list Craftsman 75 in. 15-Drawer Ball Bearing Slides Roller Cabinet, Black



or this in Pro series for $2000 list Craftsman PRO 75" 17-Drawer Cabinet with Integrated Latch System - Blue



good luck!

I'll part with a little tool porn
