Just picked up a new tool box.

I love it, got a steal on it from the snap on guy. Retails at $6,800.

 

Got it for a hair over $2,000 brand new. They gave me 2500 cash trade in on my old craftsman box I paid 1100 for.

 

What do you guys have for tool boxes, those that work on your own car or do this for a living?

i'm still thinking about getting rid of the side box and buying another locker with drawers from top to bottom

Seriously. I kinda feel a little sad thinking of all the people in the Snap-On factory putting this stuff together saying "man, can you believe some sucker is going to pay $5k for this?"

 

I just don't get it. It's no wonder they get stolen so often.

this is how i feel too....you can go to lowes and get a toolbox the same size for WAY less...

 

$507 for top box and $670 for bottom box...combined total of less than 1200

Picked this up several months ago and love it! Bought it used, owner never used it came with the liners and handle still in the box. Filled up a lot quicker then I thought, I may need to buy a top soon!

I can relate to service techs though, I used to do it and have a nice snap on box. I made 60k plus, flat rate year after year and never went to college. My tools and the box I housed them in was my college degree and I still did it for a fraction of the cost.

 

You get what you pay for, the husky and cobalt boxes and craftsman boxes "ball bearing drawers" dont compare. The quality and thickness of steel is shitty in comparison and boxes like mine and the larger triple bank boxes have suspension to handle the weight

but lowes and the other places dont show up at your shop/ house every week and warranty out any broken stuff...cant tell you how many time's i have had my drawer sliders for my old snappy box warrantied out. and they knew i was over loading it and still took care of it.

Yeah I agree. Thats why I decided to get a top of the line name brand (snap-on, mac, matco) I would have to bring my old box back to sears if I wanted something warrantied.
