Save your money and get the Sams club box. Several mechanics I work with have them and love em. IMO the best box for the money. Not a fan of the diamond plate front but I will buy one for my shop.

Does the Sam's Club one have ball bearing drawers? I would never get a box without those. People can rant about how great Snap-On boxes are but I would rather keep my Craftsman box that I paid a 1/3 for and spend that money on my cars. Snap-Ons are made more durable than most others but I personally can't justify the cost difference. And you can't drag race a tool box.

Husky has cam along way, even there new tools are nice, I have seen the husky box's and they are def a nice box for the money. A snap on or mac box that size is bookoo loot.

For the enthusiast the cheaper boxes are a good choice. However if you are going to making a living with a tool box do not go cheap. I have had my big snap-on box for 15 years and it is holding up very well. The thing is if you are going to be in and out of a box all day long, the cheaper boxes get destroyed. The drawers get weak quick.
