Here’s mine, Husky 52″. Picked it up about 3 months ago and I love it. Prior to this I had the HF Red 5 drawer tool cart. That cart was great but I quickly outgrew it. I sold that and the 2 Craftsman chests.

For the money you can’t beat it

That is a nice looking toolbox!! You still have a bunch of room to fill it up with more tools though!!!

Nice tool collection you’ve got there. I

Man that’s very nice man I can’t wait till I pick up a bigger box I have a craftsman which is pretty cool for right now but can’t organize it like that it’s just to small.

MikeyBMember since Dec 2014Jun 26, 2015 5:49 AM CT

I gotta get one off these boxes,, great setup 99

Dude nice set up! Can’t wait for a garage!

99_XC600Member since Jun 2015Jun 26, 2015 7:52 PM CT

For the price point of $600 and the size it’s a great value. Once I sold my other 3 boxes for $265, I only had to come up with about $350, so that made it a little bit easier when I went to buy it. I compared it to the 44″ at HF and that box is only a little better in it’s construction for the same price.

Nice set up and for sharing with us. That tool box is awesome. Love the quote about the Banker of the house.

I’m wanting to upgrade from my craftsman box. Can’t decide between this or the Milwaukee box. This one is bigger and cost less but has a few less features. Luckily I have some time to figure it out 😀

Grab the Milwaukee over the Craftsman. Take a good look at the construction and you will see that Craftsman has really dropped off the cliff when it comes to the construction and it’s price point.

The Milwaukee is a nice box. The only thing I don’t like about it was the drawer configuration, not enough shallow drawers for what I do. Also it only comes in a 44″, if it came in a 52″ I would probably be all over it.

Thanks.

I’ve been pleased with the Porter Cable lineup so far. They don’t seem to get too much love on the forum though. I feel like I’m a bastard child…lol

It is definitely between the husky and Milwaukee for my next box. Just have to figure out what works best for my needs. Bigger is better but not sure if the husky will fit in my garage or not.

You need some more ratchets. Everyone needs at least 2 dozen!

DR99Member since Nov 2012Jun 30, 2015 11:45 PM CT

I just picked up these Conductor over the past month as good deals!! Lots of good hand tool deals to be found lately. I really wanted some better Ratchets then the Husky/Kobalt ones I have currently.
