This.

Our best master hybrid tech (and foreman) has a small craftsman box.

Unless I was bringing home 100k a year as a mechanic I couldn't justify the cost of a box that costs thousands.

It's like having a gold toilet with a heated seat..yeah it's cool to look at and it makes you feel special, but you're still just putting shit in it..

Spend the money on the tools.

Yeah wtf are you thinking...buy good tools, who gives a fuck about a toolbox

Hell I nearly make 100k and I still use a harbor freight box. With just the 44" with the side cabinet. Although I think I may get the biggest one they have just so it's a deeper box. I've had it for 2 years now and have had zero problems with it.

That works too

Yeah it's like 1200 or so for a 72" box. I think it's only like 22" deep so it's a little thinner than snap on but for like 1/8th the price

yea but snap on ones can hold up dump trucks

Not the ones I work on

Touche

if your just starting id recommend looking at harbor freight (Ik, its taboo practically) but some of the us general stuff is good quality, i picked mine up because the glides were nicer then the 500$ craftsman box that was a comparable size, and i paid 150$ for this box.





BUT if your one of those guys that buy snapon bc of the brand name and just HAVE TO HAVE IT... thats a good price if the stuffs in good shape.\\

but also if your going into a technical program alot of tech schools partner with matco, mac and snapon and give student discounts, so check into that. ( i know i was getting 50% off certain tools/categories)
