I've seen the big box at Sams and like it alot. Like the Kobalt boxes too.

 

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.

 

Yes they are ball bearing drawers and ride smooth. They definately will not hold the weight of pricier boxes though.

 

Shop around on ebay and find a mac or matco bottom box that is used. Money well spent. The only one you'll ever need.

 

the one my old bas has that came from sams like jim posted had ball bearings

 

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.

 

woohoo!! seems pretty nice to me. i am going to get another piece but debating on another side section or the top chest. i kinda like having the top open to set junk on so i might just get another side section and call it good.
