My company just bought 20 of these Extreme tool box combo's, and tools to fill every one.

We are, and have been for a while now, going toward 100% tool accountability. So my company bought 20 new Extreme tool boxes and a sh*t ton of tools to fill all of them. They spent something like $300/$400K and I'm the one who gets to fill every single one with all the new tools they bought. It's been actually a fun task, lots of work opening up packaging but fun to play with the tools. They bought all kinds of different manufacturers of tools, mostly good quality tools, but some crap tools like Craftsman standard wrenches, yeah, the old style,...LAME!!!! All our old tools were all mainly Snap On tools. We also have had shadow inlays made for each and every drawer, at an insane price. Each shadow inlay, for 20 boxes, was almost $2K! So $2K X 20 drawers = $40K!!!
We have thousands of tools they could have used to fill these so god only know WHY they decided to go buy more to fill these with. All the current boxes are much smaller but most techs have or used to have their own company box. But, as usual people would take speciality tools and hide them in their box so only they had that tool to use. People have been pissed off for years at the fact the company wolud not go look in peoples company boxes and take tools back. Now they finally are taking back those individule company boxes and we will all be working out of these.
Only problem is, whoever is doing this does not know what the hell they are doing and have ordered some tools we will NEVER use for any reason, and have not ordered the tools we do need and will use on a daily bassis. It's obviously a manager or desk dork when they SHOULD have given this task to one of the tech who actually uses the tools we need on a daily bassis. Stupid big corp mentality.
For the record, I personally think these boxes are junk, and would never buy one for ANY reason. They are suposed to be competitive with Snap On. I can tell you these are not ANYWHERE near a Snap On box. Not even Snap On's lower model boxes. They are cheaper.... and they ARE cheap IMO. Never the less, I am haing fun, and getting paid well to do this task of filling the boxes with all the tools. We will probably be buying more as necessary too.
