Dude, that was the only muscle "group" that got stronger over the last 10 weeks.

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.

NY strips for dinner.
