This past weekend I got a call from a guy who has a shop 3 doors down from my shop for the boats. He said that he had to leave the state ASAP and needed some traveling $. He was liquidating everything in his shop and I needed to come by and take a look. When I got there, I took a look around the shop. He told me that he wanted to get rid of his tool boxes. I took a look at them and started talking him down. I finally got him down to $1,800.00 for this box, complete with tools inside. All the hand tools are all Snap-On, Mac, or Blue Point. I made sure that the box was paid for and that he didn't owe any $ against it. Paid him and rolled the box down the way.
The pictures don't do this box justice. It is about 4 months old and is in perfect condition. I am extremely happy with this purchase! :) :) :)

I paid twice that for my Craftsman set and it is, mostly, junk. The warranty is great, but I have to keep bringing back the tools :mad:
It's mostly the rachets, they are junk!!!

it's about the same size as the box really. But who am I kidding, I need another tool box like I need my hand smashed with a hammer.
But then again one more would make it an even 10. :)

A man can never have too many tools or tool boxes. :rollside: :rollside:
