    Curious what everyone is running for their toolbox!

    My buddy is selling me a 4 year old Snap-On roller box for 500$

    Might be overkill because I have no tools. But I think it would be well worth it.

      I bought a scratch and dent box from Extreme Tools.  http://www.extremetools.net/  Other than the very lame name and badge, they are REALLY high quality.  The biggest difference between Sanp-on/matco etc and Husky/home depot etc is the strength of the drawers and the depth of the box.  Extreme Tools offers the strength and the proper depth sizes at a reasonable price.

      I bought a 76" Base from the scratch & Dent place.  http://extremetools.net/7612-features.html

      And a Side cabinet not scratch and dent http://extremetools.net/pro-series-add-on.html

      They are awesome.  Super deep drawers strong enough you can stand in them.

        my fiance bought me a sweet little Husky box, 42x18 with a work surface. Seems super solid and its a perfect size for my small garage. I've only put my wrenches and sockets in it, but i already feel spoiled because I've been working out of a pile of small tool boxes/tool bags my whole life.

          What do you guys think for 500$ Worth it?

          Im not sure if he is keeping his tools or not. I just assume he is.

            Absolutely worth it, it’ll have resale value and last longer than what you can buy in the big box store. That’s list price on a harbor freight 44”, sale is usually $443. Plus that's easy enough to move around with you.

            I’m working out of a Harbor Freight series 1 tool cart for the basics right now since I sold my Milwaukee 46” before moving. I’d maxed that out but I don’t wanna buy a new box until I have a garage but I’m ocd about not having tools organized 😂 Im temped to pull the trigger on a 71-73" box.

            Farm and Fleet carries the same Extreme Tools box I believe, it's similar to the Montezuma/MasterForce box at Menards.

              $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.

                    Masterforce box with a snap on logo will look great in the garage

                          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
