Tool Box Thread

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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

USA Williams. I've never used Blue Point stuff but I just wanted "the best".

I know haha. Anything Williams Tawain crosses over as Blue Point in the catalog.

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
