Well finally as in I finally pryed my wallet open and bought one. Have needed one for 20+ years but either didnt have the funds or would talk myself out of it. But Home Depot had these marked down fro. $548 to $298. But only on the blue ones all the other colors were still full price. Only issue now is I have to clean the garage up so I cam organize the contents and find a spot to park the box. But its gonna wait till this cold snap passes before I tackle that project.

Prices are brutal on those things today nothing like organized tools to save work time.

You won't know what to do with all that organization lol.

That's a nice tool box, I think you are going to like it. I know I couldn't live without mine.

Yep if it had been full price it would have stayed at the store. Prices are also why I use a tool box bought from Sams Club at work instead of a tool truck brand box. Cant justify a tool box payment that would rival my truck payment.

Looks good!
I’ve got upper and lower made by Waterloo. Great quality but it’s never seen a tool. Fishing gear only.

Hopefully I can keep it organized, cause long term organization is not my strong point.

I know how that goes. I'm pretty good with organizing my tools but anything else there is room for improvement.

Almost have to find them on sale to make it worth it now days. When I was a full time mechanic I had a snap on box that had a ridiculous payment and that was 11 years ago. Now I just use a triple and double stack craftsman I bought used.

I broke down and bought one form HF for my basement just before the new year , now waiting on it to get here

I was getting really tired of looking for tools in small tool boxes or buckets

I have auto tools in a old craftsman in the garage but most of my other tools in the house in the basement work shop

no heat in the garage sort of drafty and very little electric service it is a 12ga for the run out there


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

my wife bought me a Yukon from Harbor Freight for Christmas.

I'm VERY pleased with it!

(it's blue, too)

Big lower drawers with fish finders and transducers, drawers with downrigger attachments and gear, drawers for line. Drawers for lure making/altering equipment. Drawers with reels, drawers for knives and maps. Drawers for lures. Drawers for batteries and chargers. And so on….

Looks like a 70s era snap on box on the right. My boss uses that same box minus the side cabineys.

Good eye , very close to the date. I bought that in the early 80's. It is a Rick Mears special edition. Top/bottom/2 side cabs altogether cost me $2k way back then. I bet something new like it might be just shy of $10k now.

A pic to put on everyone's wish list -
My neighbors' son , his toolbox. He has worked as a professional mechnic his whole life.

[Linked Image]

Snap-On boxes , with the tools he has in them , there is probably about $100k there.
