    $500 for that is a spectacular deal.  You'd be able to get that back out of it now or in 10 years from now.  Good boxes hold their value well.

      Yup that's a great deal, I'd say go for it. Replacement parts are easy to get too, mine is at least 20 years old and I got new hood shocks and a set of keys for it super easily.

                I'm starting to update my tool box from a mix of HF and the newer not so great craftsman to blue point/williams. I don't want to pay snap on prices but want something a little nicer than HF.

                That is an awesome deal for that snapon box

                  I have like 2.7 pieces of shit roughly setup next to each other that I use to keep my tools in. Think all together I paid like $17 for them. A new tool box would be sweet but ehhhhhhhhh

                      I'm very happy with my Williams 3/8 deep and shallow 6pt sockets. Still need to buy 1/2 and 1/4 as well as impacts. ToolsDelivered.com has the best peices.

                        Did you buy the usa or taiwan William's? I wonder what the real difference is besides almost double the price.

                        Yea I've been using zoro.com mostly because they have free shipping over 50

                                Blue point is just a budget snap-on

                                    That's a pretty interesting read. Yea, I just cant justify Snap-On prices just being a diy weekender so Blue Point/Williams definitely is more than enough for me. Maybe if I used them daily I would go Snap-On
