    I just went there last night to get the unicorn of wrenches, s-shaped 18mm, now I should be able to make some headway on my project. In the future I do plan on getting one of those boxes though, I can't justify spending snap-on money.

      I've got the 44" HF box. It's a good box but I filled it quicker than I thought I would. I'm just gonna save for a used KRA setup from snap on next and be done for awhile. And get the snappy warranty that way

        Is it this one:

        The 56" in definitely the best product ever to be sold at Harbor Freight. Now they have an upper cabinet to go with it. However I think the 44" toolbox is the best overall value. Very solidly built. Hell, it's a ton better than the toolboxes you can get at Home Depot or Lowes. Just look at the frames on the HF toolboxes and those from those big boxes. HF is using higher gauge steel in most cases and they are using C frames instead of angle iron like some Husky or Kobalt boxes. Crapsman is even worse in all but their best toolboxes.

                      I'm rocking my Stanley set up my wife got me for Christmas a few years back from Walmart. It's just a damn box to hold your tools for fucks sake.

                          Depends on your outlook. A quality tool box can be just as important as a quality safe. Couple hundred pounds of tools can tear some o those cheapies apart at the seams. And good glides with roller bearings are a must in my opinion.

                              Well, I think I scored a steal on a nice snap on box from a friend. I will post if I can get the deal done.

                                You don't ever want to tell a 22 year old tech that is still living with his parents that he just wasted 20 grand on his Snap On tool box. Menstrual blood tears will flow. "You just don't UNDERSTAND, MAN, I MAKE MY LIVING WITH THIS!!!11"
