Default new tool box..

ok so i had always told myself i would never spend more then a grand for a tool box.....they're all the same right? They all hold ur tools the same way and blah blah blah....

i had to two craftsman double bank rollaway boxes at work and last week our matco guy finally convinced me to pickup one of there new series boxes. So after a quick credit check and a finance of 3g's i bought this new Matco double banker tool box.Thought i would spoil myself a little....

my first impression was it's just another box.....but i was quite suprised at how smooth it felt once i filled up all the drawers with my tools. One of my craftsman boxes that was packed to the brim left 2 drawers empty after i organized everything in my new matco......so now i don't feel like such a little kid when i walk arond the shop an see everyone with there Snap-on an MAc tool boxes....mind u my other craftsman is right next to my matco but in another year i'll just buy a top box and unload the rest of my tools in that bitch

$3000? Damn, my tools consist of a $199 Craftsman plastic box setup. :1 I guess when you use those tools to make a living it's a bit different. How much are the payments on it?

Payments are $25 a week....i'm just paying 250 a month on it to get the payments out quicker.....Average finance on these ******* are 22%.....but they had 9% till the end of this month so i jumped on it....that saves me about $1400 on finance only!

I kno it's not the big dog box highroller...but we all have to start somewhere


oh and you guys notice the old rotors under the Casters.....for some ****** reason the edges by the wall are not level so if i leave a drawer open just it rolls open since it's on the slightest decline.Used the rotors on the front side to level out the box......i started looking around the shop and noticed everyone actually had to do it....
