how much do they sell for ? im in the market myself..

my buddy is trying to sell me his snap on box but damn $2500 its not worth it

 

I spent a bit over 3K on mine, no regrets, It's the last box I'll ever buy, and when I die, my son gets it.

 

it cost me about $200 brand new from Sears. its not the best tool box ever but it holds the tools which i thought is the main purpose of a tool box. if i ever need more room, which i just about do, i will go buy the same thing and just have 2 of them. the drawers dont slide like ball-bearing drawers but i've never had a problem with them in the 4 years i've had it (the 1st pic is recent. the 2nd is right around when i got it). i have the entire 254 piece set from Sears in it plus a ton of other tools. plus i keep my tools organized all the time so nothing is ever on top of another or touching. so if you dont care about that you could fit a ton more in it

i think $700

 

good boxes are expencive, make sure you buy one with a drawer lock so only one can open at a time..... i seen some guys open more than one at once.. and bam... it tips over and out goes all of there tools. I laugh seeing it happen to other guys but would be pissed if it was me.

And for tools, i buy Husky brand from Home Depot, there made by Snap-On.

 

They have that same stainless box at Sams for about $550. Damn nice box with bb rollers too. Snap On boxes are nice but way overpriced. If the sound of your drawers opening doesnt bother you then a basic craftsmen should do the trick. I have owned several different boxes(Snap On, Matco, Craftmen, Husky) and they all do pretty much the same thing, hold my tools.

 

you are right most of the boxes are and work the same. But Snap-On has a ring to it.

 

i would buy snap-on, i still use a toolbox that my grampa used in vietnam and korea and alaska and they work like brand new,

 

Dont be afraid to go big either (size wise). I bought my first box about 8 years ago (craftsman) and added on to it until it is now eye level tall.

I thought getting rid of this one would be a waste, so now I'm that guy 2 damn boxes. Both almost identical.

 

Each caster is rated to hold 2000 pounds a piece i have thought about positioning a synchrowave 250 on top

oh it may seem big but it rolls like a simple pushcart

worth every penny

This is my Snap On Box, i honestly love it, ball bearing drawers, they hold weight too, i could pull out a drawer and use it as a step if id like. not flimsy or thin like other boxes


btw its for sale too

Here's my box

And some tools

Automotive stuff next to gardening stuff (Ying and Yang)

 

Here's my baby

It's full, i need another one haha

I just moved and i'm not going to post pics of my garage (in shambles)

 

Is it just me, or do any of you guys have a supportive girlfriend/wife that understands you having so many tools/toys . Mine used to give me grief about it, but now that I got everything cleaned up a bit, she comes and visits me while I'm working on stuff.

I'll start of by saying that my girlfriend has a favorite tool(s)
1. Pneumatic die grinder
2. Impact
3. Sawzall

LOL...my wife knows that I need fast cars, and all kinds of tools in my life in order to be happy...she gets turned on by ratchets..weird..

 

Dude me too. I thought it was weird the first time she started grabbing me up when I was using my 18 volt cordless drill. I was closing off the heater duct with some sheetmetal screws.... Haha, must be a woman thing. And yes I am very lucky to have my sweetheart...

I just replaced my work tool box (an older MAC) with one made by Lista. It is very sturdy and was set to my specifications, including a stainless steel top. sorry no pics... after all, it's out at the hangar...

 

Here is mine:
Mastercraft professionnal series



spent about 1.5 K$ in it up to date,
