Depending on your field, all that space really isnt needed. I can see a diesel mechanic wanting more side boxes and such for the big tools.

Both the mechanics at my last job had like 60in boxes with one having the extra 20in side box for random crap. Both held all the tools needed for regular auto repairs. Though their boxes were older because well they were older haha, were prolly like a 5-7K box from snap on or matco if you bought one today.

I always had a different mind set though, to me it was just absurd to pay that crazy amount of money to just put my tools in. It does nothing else but just hold stuff, it doesnt help me do the job any better. The only thing nice about their boxes in the depth though, they have atleast another 5-6in deep drawers. I also didnt want to owe someone money for 15 years.

No, it doesnt help to do the job any better, but i have a rollcart that has most of what i use on a daily basis, but the bottom top and left cabinet were slam full, my hub grappler was on the floor under the box and my jumpboxes etc didnt have anywhere i could secure them.... And the top half od the left locker is where my verus pro printer and keyboard and laptop stay.... Im kind of a tool *****, if i have to borrow it more than once i need to buy it.... I know a guy that has two boxes(a 2 bay top and bottom macsimizer with a side cabinet and a triple bay snap on) that he has slam full, but he has no sense of organization in either box, i have looked through his boxes trying to find stuff and its just like "ok dude lets take everything out and reorganize your crap and we can do away with the snap on box!!" My box if someone asks me where something is i can tell them which drawer and where!! Grabted at this point i can probably unload some of my tools but it would be a situation of as soon as i did i would need most of it.... Within a week!!!

with dark wood floors through the entire house and a large white dog, my house has to be vacuumed every 2 or 3 days. i had a knee surgery about 4 weeks back and my wife is bitching about having to vacuum. I'm not hopping around the house on a crutch so I broke down and bought the newest baddest *** robot cleaner. I'm excited about having a freshly vacuumed house 7 days a week and not having to be home while it's happening. for $700 it better leave my floors spotless!

Going to give her a bath since she has been sitting all winter and hopefully have it working by early to mid march. This is number 3 of my fleet. I had a smaller truck that I sold at the end of last year in anticipation of making a move into a 4 or 5 axle truck.
