Went to Lowes today and bought a black 6-drawer Kobalt toolbox. It has a plastic work area on top of it. Regular price was $256, I got it for $128 because it was damaged. The bottom drawer only opened about two inches, the ballbearing slide was messed up so I took it apart straightened it up and it's as good as new.

What brand? I have never been able to spend that much on a toolbox. I've got about 1100 in toolboxes and a couple toolcarts. But tools, I couldn't tell you how many thousands.

Combine those, and mine's still worth more. :p
The outdoer strikes again!

Now the problem is, I don't use 'em anymore because I'm a coordinator. I need to find a place to keep it!

Are those personal tools (as in they are at your house), personal tools that stay at work, or work tools?

Work tools. That's inside the shop I used to work at. I'm now in another shop, however I'm no longer a mechanic.
I'd take mine home, but I don't have a garage. I just rent from a friend.

Gotta love that. Awesome deal! I just fixed the slides on my dad's rollaway. He was stoked!

That blue Mac is a nice box. Guy I used to work with had one, the shelves are nice and weighted.
