Sorry about the mess. Snap-On KRL1003. Pretty good tool box, but I have a separate roll-away box just for body shop tools.

The top of mine looks very similar LOL what a mess I have.

I had to finally take mine all home from the shop this summer because I hired so many more techs that there just wasn't any room for it all. Trying to stuff all that in a garage that is already full of tools is rough.

Part of my winter project list is to downsize all my damn tools.

I agree Snap-on is top of the line for sure especially if you turn wrenches for a living. But based on @Ironworker69 s tool box, I’m going out on a limb to say he won’t be needing a -$7,500 tool box. Lol.

For most of us weekend home wrenchers, a Harbor Freight or Husky should stand the test of time as long as you don’t feel the need to stand in your tool box. Mine is early 10 yrs old and looks brand new.

If I were a mechanic, I would buy the most expensive tool box, just a weekend warrior.

When I was a mechanic, I never bought the most expensive tool. I always bought the best tool available to do the job. Which usually meant Snap-On, MAC, Proto, SK..... And the tool trucks stopped by each week, so we could make payments and purchase new tools.

if you can wait, i would suggest waiting until lowes/home depot have their black friday sales to pick up a new box. you're really close, it would be a shame to spend a couple extra hundred if you didn't have to. my wife picked me up one a few years back from lowes. saved about $600.

and i'm not wrenching for a living, so the kobalt setup works perfectly for me.
