My Wife is awesome!!
She got me this tool chest this weekend. I know its not Matco or Snap-On but I read a lot of reviews and looked at them multiple times and for the price ($350) we couldn't pass it up.

Re: My Wife is awesome!!
My brother bought me one of those about 5 years ago and it's doing a fine job in my garage.

Re: My Wife is awesome!!
the snap-on snobs won't like it, but i've looked at those before
they seem like decent quality and a good value ps... if you don't mortar your brick workbench together the vise will fall right off

Re: My Wife is awesome!!
Unfortunately the movers smashed up the back of my craftsman so hopefully they give me enough $$$ to get the matching top.

Re: My Wife is awesome!!
I'm jealous. Those are very nice boxes especially for the money.
I think for a weekend wrencher they are a great box. After seeing (and using) Low1Ton's U.S. General brand box I plan to buy the upper & lower 56" boxes for my new shop in the future. |

Re: My Wife is awesome!!
I have been eyeballing them for years and have done alot of research and mess with them pretty much every time I go to HF. I hope that it stands up to what I need and from everything I have read it will. It is still empty so I need to start transferring some tools from the old boxes into the new one.

Re: My Wife is awesome!!
Wish I went this direction, instead of the Torin monster I got. Could have bought two of these HF boxes and had work bench on top. Ah well....
Good wife!

Re: My Wife is awesome!!
I just picked up a Home Depot box and I love it! 300 bucks for a 52".
Heres my old box with stuff falling out the front. New box, with plenty of room. I added a few stickers. Sorry for the low quality pics.
