Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Man are tool cabinets expensive. Every time I look at them I remember why I don't have one.

Especially for the mechanic brands like Snap-On, Matco, etc. I can't imagine paying the prices new, I can buy multiple Vidmar or Lista cabinets for those prices.

I will check these brands out. The Husky's at Home Depot are looking tempting. That or Harbor freight.

A long time ago I had a stainless steel Kobalt box from Lowes. The biggest issues I ran into were the drawers are really flimsy. The other is the drawers don't hold much weight. The rollers will snap.

I have similar concerns with HF's boxes. While cheap in price, they also seem twice as cheap in construction. If I was looking for a new box right now, I would be looking at the pawn shops honestly. I know here in FL just like in AZ they sell a 10k Snap-On box (retail) for about 2500-3000. Fucked up hing is if you know someone who works there you can get it for just a bit over half of that (1250-1500).

I debated checking pawnshops, but it's suppose to be my V-day gift from the W. Don't really want to spend more 600-700. Half that would be even better. The husky brand at HD is only 400 for a 42" wide with split drawers. The HF brand is almost double that.

The buildquality of the new Husky boxes IMO is as close to a Snap-On, MAC, or MATCO box as you can find for under 750.

Im hoping the husky is decent enough for a homeowner. HD is about 80 miles away in Grand Junction so will have to check them out on my day off. My dad's pawn shop is the only local one, but lots I can check out in GJT. I wouldn't mind finding a used quality one, especially if its the same one Im going to the store for.

Doesn't he have a few extra boxes in the garage? I swear he had about 4 double bay boxes.

The gym is how I handle stress.  BROLYTIME!

I need to get a membership at one for sure! And shed some of this water I am retaining 

[mikel7829 90]

You still won't like the pricing of Lista or Vidmar, start at 1k each.  

 

I hear the harbor fright cabinets are actually pretty nice for the money.  I've got some of the Menards Masterforce ones with the locking drawer handles in the tool cage and like them.  Haven't had an issue with them yet.  

 I seen them the other day when I got some sanding supplies..Not really bad for the price..

If I did not have a child the one series would probably be my daily driver.

Sorry, forgot to add I want to buy from a dealer.  Damn good price on that thing though.

That is not a backseat and my daughter will always need to be in some sort of child seat with support. Seriously that backseat is useless

500 miles to NVille and no rebuilt shit for me.

The 5 drawer cart I have at my house. That one I do recommend. Pretty sturdy for a harbor freight cart.

[S.DeYoung 967]

If you find one Ryan, I want to come drive it. I'll bring the E30 down

He has about 10 or so Snap-on and Mac in his personal collection. I would guess around 100k worth just in the boxes. lol  He isn't parting with any of them though. Hasn't turned a wrench in almost 20 years but won't get rid of a single tool, let alone a box.

 

I was referring to his actual pawn shop though. Don't remember if we made it there when you were here. But after guns, tools are the other biggest thing he sells. So yes I will go see what he has. Could get lucky.

There is a black 5 drawer cart on CL for $100 about 5 min from me. Thought about grabbing that up as I want a cart too, and could see the build quality.

 

I seen the sale on their website. the bottom and top are separate and around 700 total for a 40-42" split drawer. Not bad. The HD one is only 400 total.  None the less HF is in the same town as HD, so will check them both out on my day off.

Reminds me of my Prelude I had when the kid was little. Sucked with a car seat.

If you guys want a Snap-On, MAC, Cornwell, Matco box, buy Sunnex off of Amazon.  They manufacture the boxes for the big boys, and sell them under their own name at half the price.

[MKader17 332]

Slow night tonight. People must have a life and do stuff on Friday night.

 

I'm just at the house throwing stuff on Craigslist/Ebay and sipping some J.L. Weller Antique 107

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

Sunnex boxes are the shit.
