Tool boxes

[SlowSix]

What kind of boxes do you guys have? Always find these threads kind of interesting.

I just upgraded from my old little box,

to this big hammer. I had completely outgrown that old one. I have 3-4 empty drawers in this one now



I know some of you guys use tools to make a living so I'm sure some of you have some pretty nice ones. Whatcha got?

I have a near twin to yours - black Craftsman professional series. Love it. Got it on sale several years back.

Mine is a Craftsman, similar to the black one. 4 drawer chest and an 8 drawer top stack with a top lid thing. It serves me pretty well for now.

I really like that husky box. As a hobbyist I don't need snap on or Mac or anything.

This is waaaay cheaper than a craftsman box of similar size and probably of the same or better quality. I've looked at the craftsman boxes and they don't seem that nice to me until you get into the more expensive ones.

This box is $498 for the top and bottom at home depot. They have a 52" box for $598 I think.

I looked at the harbor freight boxes but decided this would work for what I needed.
I was originally considering that 26" harbor freight box but this was only $150 more for a lot more box.
The bigger harbor freight one, the 44" one, is about $700 after buying the top and bottom.
It has more drawers and it is rated for more weight, but I didn't think I necessarily needed either.

Pretty happy with it so far. Ball bearing drawers, comes with drawer liners, and the top lid is big enough to fit cordless tools and paint cans and such.

2400 into these 3 boxes which total 14' vs big brand for 20,000

Ive had stackers and had smaller ones...these fit the build perfect

Excellent quality, can hold alot of weight and stout themselves

I never could understand how people pay $5k for a tool box...just don't get it?

Same here. I have Kobalt boxes from Lowe's when they were on clearance about 15yrs ago. Paid less than $300 for top and bottom.

Only.way I could understand is if that is how you make your living and you need something that can withstand a beating and work forever.

Now if I could do like George and get 20k boxes for 2,400 then I'd be all over it.

I think they are the HF boxes, and pretty well reviewed for the price.

in many cases, this likely conflicts with your signature

Yeah George's look like the 56" harbor freight boxes maybe ?
