So I have been wrenching on cars for going on well my whole life. In said time I have accumulated alot of tools.

I also have quite a few specialty tools that I have come across that I don't use much so they don't get put in the toolbox. And always end up cluttering a bench up.

So old toolbox

3 drawers barely open. I have 6 little plastic tool boxes on top holding different things in there and still don't have stuff put away.

Once I get organized I am good but getting there is the hard part for me.

So now that I am going to be working out of my garage again. Plus I have my first job already. I bought myself some organizing tools

I have read all the reviews and they seem positive, if weight is any consideration, its a decent tool box. Bottom box is over 275 unpacked. Top box is all of 165 unpacked. Drawers roll good (haven't filled em yet), everything seems nice.

I have recently been trying to buy American made as much as posssible, but at nearly 10 times the price for an American made counterpart, that ain't gonna happen.

Initial feel is about the same as my buddys new Matco box, but not quite up to another buddies snap on box.

I will let you guys know how I feel about this box in the future.

Very excited to finally have a tool box that will hold very nearly all my tools
 
I have the Harbor Freight side box on my Craftsman roller bottom and I don't have any issues with it other than the drawers are a little hard to push into the "latch".
 
Cool! I'd like to pick up another big box in the near future. My current rolling box works but when I get more tools forget about it. :)
 
Nice! The guys over at garage journal forum love the harbor freight tool boxes and it seems like it's a better box for almost half the money in some cases as a craftsman/husky/cobalt/etc. I plan on eventually getting a couple of bottom and side boxes and making a big workbench.

Yep I read over there some, I have heard from some guys that this box is basically a pure rip off of an old snap on design.
 
Nice Eric, congrats on the new addition!
 
I upgraded as well. I ended up buying another Craftsman box. I ended up getting both the bottom box, and top box for 250 due to good friday sale plus 5% off coupon. Now I have both my craftsman boxes side by side. I'll get a pic sometime this weekend. I was going to buy the US general box but stopped at sears first and walked out the door with the box I wanted for 100 bones cheaper. :)
 
Yeay nice score, last week I picked up a snap-on road box circa 1979. older buddy at work bought it new in '79. finally upgraded after a box tipping "incedent" in the shop, where his one wheel off the bottom craftsman cab bucked off. and toppled the works. I got his old snappy road box for a bottle of scotch. straightened out the one corner of the lid. and its got a whole new hard life in my service truck :haha::haha:
