I have a couple big *** craftsman tool boxes. They are nice, but I really like the Kobalt boxes from Lowes. Also, Craftsman has just come out with some new boxes recently, you might check those out as well. Some nice new features.

I've had my MAC box for 25 years. Aside from a little paint wear and some rust spots, it works just like it did new.

Quote: My dad has a big snap on box, it is great, is old alos, still nice, but are sooo much money for their products... I just picked myself up a nice craftsman ball bearing box, I have no complaints.. The are hard to beat for the money, most of my tools I get are from craftsman.. They have good prices, are finally starting to offer tools, that are small like other top shelf brands for way less money.. Also I have only broke two tools from craftsman.. **** take it back and get a new one...... If your not looking to kill your $$$ and get a good quality product, its hard to go wrong on craftsman....

I couldn't agree with ya more, if I turned wrenches for a hobby i would probably own mostly craftsman, but for us guys that turn em for a living you can only have the best IMO.

I have a craftsman but dream of another snap-on box, just the price for a rolling box is $$$$ worth every penny! I know people who have had snap-on boxes over 20years, and wouldn't have anything else!

PS I do like Matco too!

Thanks for all the feedback guys! I'm going to go check out some Snap-on and MACs before I settle on a Craftsman right away.

I had a Matco full of Snap On tools before I got out of the automotive business, loved it and never had a problem or complaint.
