I've been looking for quite some time on craigslist for a good one to come up. Last two I emailed on were gone within hours. This came up and the guy lived like 4 minutes down the street. Cool! I liked it because it's a ton of smaller drawers to separate my multiple tools. Box says it was built in 96. Not as cheap and flimsy as some of the new crap they have. Not roller bearings but I don't need it. Guy modified it so the top lock does both boxes and put a heavy duty stainless steel handle on it. $150 and it was mine. So I'm happy.

Very nice, excellent price.
Roller bearing drawer slides are such BS for what they cost. Get a can of spray Teflon, like Tri-Flo and lube the slides. It makes a big difference and I find that I only need to do it once every 3 years or so. |

Those are very similiar to mine, but you got a better deal.
I bought another bottom box and put a sheet of ply on it for a roll around service cart with a work surface. |

I want the toolbox back I bought my ex...
 Was a dark blue 6' tall Craftsman. I'd also like one of those pretty silver ones that's really wide with the refrigerator in the bottom of it  Congrats on the find! |

She knows I've been looking for a while and it was a good price, so she didn't have anything to say. Just don't tell her how much I'm spending on the engine and we'll be ok Matthew |

I bought this box about a year ago. I'd been looking for a larger box, so I could keep all my tools in one place. It's all stainless, and has roller bearing drawers, and grip latch feature so that they close securely. We went there to buy a microwave, and I came home with this!

That's a beautiful tool chest there, Jake, but a little out of my price range!
I spent a few hours tonight cleaning up the garage a bit and organizing some tools in the new box. Matthew |
