So I'm not buying anything anytime soon. Probably next year. But I'm looking at larger tool chests. On wheels.

Please convince me I should spend the $3-5K for Snap-On quality instead of the $500-$1500 for US General (HF brand or similar) or Husky/Craftsman quality.



Something like this US General tool chest or this Husky tool chest

Another option that I just noticed came to market is Tekton. No idea on price point though.

Right now, I would say use that 3-5k on getting your Z worked on! THEN after that, spend money the "want" list. I mean, you can always sell that HF tool chest when youre ready for the Strap On...

If dropping the cash, this is a beastly unit that has some really nice wide drawers across the top.

That's similar to my Snap-on box, except the far left bank on this one is on the far right on my box. I've got to find a pic of it.

I ended up with a Masterforce which is the Menard's home brand. At the end of the day, it holds tools. I dont wheel mine around the garage and Ill never put 400 pounds in any one drawer so its hard to justify the large price tags.

I agree. The Snap On is 5x the price, and they both just hold tools... in a garage. I guess if you were a professional mechanic, the Snap On might make more sense?

Great casters are a god send if moving it from hangar to hangar or around the shop. When you use it all day to make money, nice drawer slides that hold a ton of weight that are configurable and easy slide self closing drawers are all wonderful things to have. In my garage I dont care about any of those things as it just sits there, holding tools. Even has a power strip built into side and 2 USB outlets.
