Looking forward to pics. I’m to the point where I either need to get another craftsman stack and have two separate toolboxes or get one big chest. Decisions, decisions!

I was checking those out also…..they look pretty nice and fair priced!. Since Milwaukee is taking there sweet time with bringing back there boxes I’m tempted in getting the 72 inch top and bottom Homak. When you get yours please post some pictures and let us know about the build quality. Thanks.

You only have a few tools now, but just wait. In a few years you will have enough tools to fill that 72″ chest, trust me it’s addictive!

Listen to Kruton, he speaks the truth 🙂 seriously the 33 incher is a great place to start and being only 15 you have many years in front of you to grow the tool collection, enjoy!!

chrismccabe484Member since Aug 2015

Yea I don’t have that much money so that’s why I figured the 33 inch enough space for the amount of tools I have

Sorry man I wasn’t saying that you should get the 72″ chest, i was just saying some day you will have one filled and wonder where all that extra space went!

Nice to see there are still 15 year olds who show a true interests in tools.Thats great that your putting your money toward something that can last you a life time and can grow as you can afford it.Rather then video games and things like that.

Nothing wrong with a 33 incher bud,you can always get another when you need. I started collecting tools when I was your age(im 40 now) and now I have a ton of tools. My 8 year old boy has taken quite an interest in using tools and fixing things so I already have him started 😉

 

 

 

 

Homak has been around for a while,they just get seem under their main name. I believe they used to make most if not all the Craftsman boxes back in the day,not sure if thery still do.
