I'm too cheap to get a nice box  It was all nice and organized, but I've done about 3 projects back to back and haven't cleaned it up inbetween any of em'. Theres some boat parts, cars parts, and sled parts all mixed in there. I think this weekend is gonna be devoted to clean the garage day if it doesn't snow

New that box is gonna be a lot more then 2k. I know some techs that spent over 10 grand on their box alone (not the tools). They go on payment plans from snap on, thats how much there stuff costs http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/tools...e=snapon-store (snap on is comparable to mac)

a wise mechanic once told me the tools make you the money, not the box
of course a couple years later he has this big shiny snap-on box in his shop (guess he couldnt resist) but i still think he was right, craftsman offers great boxes at a reasonable price.

Yup if I was a tech. I'd buy a nice craftsman or something. But my tools would be snap on.

I bought my box new for $3500. It was a leftover for that year. I figured all my tools are Mac so I might as well spill the money. It has a lifetime warranty.

if a motorcycle is blocking a air compressor then you need a bigger air compressor!

Garage is a mess right now, but here is mine. Some people need to buy $400 worth of books for school, and complain. Well, here is my $4000 worth of books and their storage box, lol. Next semester I'll be gettin the top chest too. Plenty of tools to put in it.
