Rekpoint Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 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.

REKIII Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 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. Rekpoint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 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.

Rekpoint Posted September 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 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. m42b32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 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. Rekpoint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REKIII Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 $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. Rekpoint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m42b32 Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 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.

Nick_F Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 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 jc43089 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_F Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 I have a USA made Williams 1/4" ratchet. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
