Re: What kind of tool box does everyone have?

ive had snap-on and i didnt find it worth the money in less than a year the bottom draw was showing rust and it was constantly having to be sprayed with expensive snap on paint the least they could of done was to use a coated metal like zintec (20 years ago so they might be diffrent now). when i left england i left all my tools are they were expensive to ship and 99% metric. 15 years on i asked my father about my tools and he told me he gave them to my brother 5 years back when he went became a tech so at least there getting used. in the u.s sam's had stainless boxs for under 1k which is cheap for what you get but the inside of the draws are steel so im not sure how long they will last till the rust sets in but all the mechanics seem to use them at work especially as we work in a wet area. i use a motorbike rucksack as im always going up and down straight ladders so its easier to climb with both hands free and as a electician i dont need many tool's i just need the realy exspensive ones...:D

I have a Snap On, that has a trailer hitch on it and pneumatic tires, that I can tow behind my ATV It is full of Snap On and Mac tools, when you live where I do, you have to have the tools, it is to darn far to town to pick them up, I also have a tire balancer(spin) and a tire mounting machine, as well as a brake lathe, three welders and two 65 gallon air compressors, and an attachment for my tractor so I can use it as a lift.
I hate you.

I have a snap on roller cabinet for my shop but several cheap metal ones for taking tools with me.They can be in a paper bag for all I care as long as I have what I need where I need it.

I have a small Craftsman set at home and a 15 drawer 40" snap-on bottom with an 8 drawer 40" DeeZee drop front top box at work. Most of the hand tools are a combination of craftsman Mac and snap-on. The air tools are all Mac.
