In many reviews I read for "the pink box" tools and tool boxes the owners specifically say that's why they got them...so the guys wouldn't take their tools.


Wow, Snap-On DOES make toolboxes in purple...:drool2:...but the cheapest one is over $2,000, but wow, what nice quality!..;eeko;

Might save a few thousand with a Kobalt or Sears box...but there's a reason. My four Snap-On floor boxes will hold a Peterbilt....It's their add photo

So when you push it across the floor does the cement crack from the weight? :grino:

You aren't pushing these floor boxes very far.....they're 4ft tall and like 8ft long. They seriously dent linoleum flooring. I got a rolloff tow truck to move them to the new shop in St. Augustine. The one for the frame machine has to have a couple tons in it. The MATCO box is paint room stuff. Not a bunch of weight, and it still is likely over 1000lbs total. The rest are mechanic and body tools They hold some stuff
