Input on toolboxs please...

Right now I have craftsman box. Just the standard 3 box set, standard runners.

I'm looking at a 2 or 3 box set, ball bearing, and a grip latch type of setup. I'm looking to spend upto 1000.00 or so. That rules out Snap-On. I don't have the need for that high of a setup...

Any other brands I should look at? I imagine with Craftsman I'm paying a bit for the name.... I just wanna get the best box for the money.

While they get you a name they also get a lifetime warranty and a unbelievable quality box. I also am considering a Craftsman Professional box... far over my limit, but not near as bad. Damn near snappy/mac/matco quality.

Ditto! Plus with a Craftsman product if it breaks you can take it back to Sears or where ever and get it replaced or fixed. Usually its no questions asked! Sears & Craftsmen is FTW!!!

the old mans craftsman boxes are about as old as i am, and work as well as they did when new,thru many years of heavy duty diesel shop abuse/use, and were a lot less than comprable m/m/s-o boxes.

so you think it would be better to pay a whole lot more, for a name, and a warranty you will likely never use?

That 26" combo looks badass. But I would be worried about accidentally knocking something like that over. I've done it a few times and it isn't pretty.. Well I guess I stand corrected on the warranty issue...

just make sure you get one of the upper scale ones. i had to pick up a cheap one just to get some of my tools out of other places, the tracks aren't too substantial. ive had two or three derail, and others pop out of the drawer tabs. just something else i gotta put up with before i can get one of the professional ones.
