Brassica rapa pekinensis Tool cabinet and Drawer #548422 Sun Jun 21 2009 06:48 AM

Was at my local NAPA parts store in KC today picking up an oil sink in for my passenger and was sounding around and seen some nice looking tool chests and drawers successful aside Homac or Homak. Never heard of this brand. They looked wellbuilt and drawers had roller bearings and are rated for 100 lbs. They are wide and are on rollers. All for $799.00 while supplies last. Has anyone seen them in other areas of the country? And if so what do you think about the timber. They seem to match risen with Craftsman's uncomparable if not better. Had plenty of drawers,can't remember how many merely it is big and bequeath hold a heck of alot of tools. Thinking about buying 1. Spirit is to short to be cragfast in a groove.

When we had a "Farm & Fleet" store in Clearfield P.A. Homak was the brand of toolchests they carried. F&F went impossible now it is "Tractor Issue" non indisputable what they carry, but the Homak chests looked to be decent. My rolling dresser is a "Kobalt" brand, but the badges on it for the roller productive drawers are identical to "Craftsman" make ?..I believe many of the chests out there are made by the same manufacturer and the finish trafficker but attaches there logo to them.

Hardly judging by the construction, it's a Waterloo. Waterloo also make the Craftsman boxes. F&F also carries Waterloo boxes. TSC carries MasterForce toolboxes, as does Menards. Those are successful past Clarke. Non sure who makes the Kobalt boxes that Lowes carries, some look like Waterloo, but their big boxes seem to stimulate a different construction.

I was recitation this post and remembered that Lowes sells one for something like $1,700.00 it has every last sorts of draws AND and CD radio and minifridge, which in MOHO is so much a waste, as decent full size of it fridge for the shop/garage is $400 and has a deep freezer, you know for the Vodka! If I was ever to hit the lottery and had a 5-7 colorful service department built I might consider it.

Our local anesthetic Lowes had one on headway a while back up, astir 1/3 off, due to it having a rather large scratch in the backside of it caused in shipping. 'Course, on the other hand, I'm sort of partial to this one.

Unless you need a big tool box like Matco,Mac, SnapOn etc. they are a real permissive waste to pay $2500.00 to $10000.00 for a tool box to seat in a home shop when a journeyman will act or you have such damm money you just don't caution. I worked in a Intellectual nourishment Production for 41 years and Mackintosh,SnapON Matco did not last whatever bettor than the Craftman or Waterloo etc. In that enviroment the all give way from moving them around from line of work to job acquiring cockeyed welding on top them etc. and the more weight unit you possess in them the sooner they break down from being emotional. Suchlike one guy said you do not need a frig.,radio improved in as they kick a arm and a leg for these add on's. Now don't get me wrong but they look nice sitting there and as far every bit metal thinkness they are all about identical in thickness. Wholly it boils down to is bragging rights. What gets me is all the boxes do the Saame thing hold tools.

If I was ever to hit the lottery and had a 5-7 colorful service department built I might reckon it. Why add that when you could fair-minded add an office and a lunch room. Maybe a locker room with showers, etc.

What gets me is all the boxes do the same thing hold tools. Just conceive about it! 62Blue Don Non necessarily. My shop got one of those big, heavy duty Journeyman boxes to hold big wrenches and heavy tools. Wrenches sized from 1" up to 2". 3/4" push, 1" effort and slat drive socket sets. The hoot shorts in that thing fall through out just sitting still!! Brand name new package and the rip out is indeed bad, we can't even fix the sliders. I'm about ready to toss the box out. The related Snapons don't have that trouble. Soh all boxes are not created equal.

[quote=Don G.]What gets me is completely the boxes do the duplicate thing hold tools. Conscionable flirt with it! 62Blue Don Not necessarily. My shop got one of those big, doughy duty Craftsman boxes to storage area big wrenches and heavy tools. Wrenches kiwi-sized from 1" heavenward to 2". 3/4" drive, 1" drive and slat push back socket sets. The darn drawers in that thing split up unconscious just sitting even!! Stigma new box and the tear out is so bad, we sack't eve fix the sliders. I'm about prompt to toss the box out. The similar Snapons don't have that problem. So all boxes are not created equal. [/cite] Very trustworthy. That's why I have a Snap-On busy. Besides, once you get along into a Craftsman corner that size, the Price is about the same.

Well I have to harmonize about the pricing just if the box is having problems like the draws rift take information technology back as it has a warrenity There only a fewer places that make the rollers and sliders and if you look close they are all real close. The only vantage with a SnapOn or Matco or Mackintosh. is the salesman comes out to see what your problem is where the Craftsman you have to read it back to where you got it. Thats part of the price you pay when you buy tools from those guys. I bet tools and boxes induce a 50% markup like electronics. Do you guys really believe it cost $4000.00 to $7000.00 to make a sheet metal box as about are 16Ga to 14Ga.. Present's other thing how many guys are in and out of that Craftsman box in a week throwing heavy wrenches and other tools in it not treated like their own I bet. Oh well to all is own on how much you will invite a box! 62 Blue Don 62Blue 62Chevy in progress You've never been lost until you've been lost at Mach3" Paul F Crichmore (Try out Pilot)

Nope, deuce boxes. The high end line series. The drawer was opened once to load it. The moment time IT was opened, it tore out internally. The only way to gear up it is to supervene upon the box or Reseda luteola in a new internal strut. That requires complete disassembly. After that first one vanish out, three operating room more drawers fell off later on organism opened once or twice. Returning the box is next to impossible having bought it in a bulk purchase through and through a third party vendor. The Snapon?? Doing fair fine with daytime in and day out utilise. Look, I possess a Snapon, Proto and Craftsman boxes. I'm eating four of them. There is a big difference in quality! It wasn't a sales pitch that got me to buy. It was the caliber. I've also closely-held Cornwell and Mac. All boxes are non created equal. Last edited by MNSmith; Tue Jul 07 2009 06:47 PM.

All boxes are not created equal. Agreed. I too lic in the professional fixing feild, for what it would take to handle the amount of tools I have, a Craftsman box just won't do. Not enough load capacity. Information technology was also not a sales ven that got me, but instead load capacity and drawer size/configuration. BTW, I also buy all but wholly of my tools from either Snap-On or Matco, as they have the specialty tools required for my chore that simply are non in stock otherwise.

"Professional repair field," I really like that. Like more of you, I made my living with my men and my tools. When I drop out working on cars for a animation, I decided to abolish my ii big Snap-On boxes and the special tools one of them contained. An aside here, I worked on German language cars. Unless you undergo been there you will cause no idea just how numerous special tools are necessary. I bought a new motortruck with what I got for the boxes and tools. I bought one of the big Crafter combos for my "smaller" instrument set. The bottom chest collapsed in a yr! I now use the top box seat for drills, taps, dies, mics, etc. I bought a big Kobalt combo from Lowes and IT is now 4 years old. Time testament tell. Also, for ME, as a box gets retired, if IT was tranquilize usable, information technology does lighter duty for other stuff. I have an old Dunham boxwood for my woodworking tools, and another old, used package for electrical, etc. Suchlike MNSmith says, "Whol boxes are not created equal!" best wishes, Les

I hold to make a correction to combined of my earlier posts in this wander. I stated that "formerly you come in a Crafter box that size, the price is about the same". That is no more true. The Craftsman boxes in the synoptic size as my Snap-On are More than! In the event of the size box I have, it's about $1000 conflict, not reckoning shipping, tax, and finance fees.
