Yes. I was sick and tired of no home for my tools. I was stepping on wrenches, extensions, screwdrivers and sockets . Hardly could find anything and its already near full. Wish I could have bought the Kobalt 52 inch with a stereo. :grino:

:yes::dan_ban::jump:
At least now they're under lock & key...:laughing:
Nice! Did it come with a toaster?
personally I prefer a clicky type torque wrench rather than the guage kind.
I'm kinda diggin the pop tarts.
I've been trying to resist these, but I feel my will power is weakening....hehe...maybe santa will be nice to me...

...but they're the wrong color Sue, lol. :laughy: Unfortunately, you may be hard pressed to find purple boxes though...not even Snap-on boxes can be ordered in purple (though they can be orange or yellow, yay! ;Dy;) I like those pink boxes though; I wonder how smooth the drawers are...you'll have to let us know if santa brings you a set this year.Quote:

Yeah, purple is hard to come by....and funny, I did check with Snap-On...BUT, these "pink box" people make theirs in a nice bright pink. I've already got a few things from this company, like the canvas bag and a few of the pliers, oh, and don't forget the tape measure that Dub was afraid of...:laugho:Quote:

Actually the reviews I've read are very positive regarding quality and specifically, that the draws are very smooth.
I just gotta getz me one of deez hot pink tool boxes!
Go for it KAT...and get a toaster too! :yeso: and T4B I kinda figured I might get a comment on that torque wrench. It is an archaic 35 years old!!
Good to know. Perhaps a more cost effective alternative to Snap-on boxes...cause I sure can't afford one of those anytime soon, lol. I would like something that is more secure than my Craftsman though. When I lived in my house/now my rental, some a-hole got into my garage and stole about $1400 worth of tools out of that stupid box; it's ridiculously easy to break in to. Ever since, I refuse to buy any expensive tools until I get a better toolbox. Speaking of expensive tools, how much did that screwdriver set put you back? I had a few misc snap-on screwdrivers before the theft too, but they weren't part of a set...super comfortable though, I especially loved the ratcheting ones.Quote:

Kat, have you never seen this site?

It's all about women and their pink boxes. :p
Yeah, but are you the type who would actually lock the box after every use? I keep the garage locked. If I had a tool box with a decent lock on it, I'd never remember to lock it.Quote:

That's the same box I have! Home Depot, right? I like it alot.

Yes! I shopped for a few days. Lowes, tractor store, Advance auto, Sears but Home Depot beat them all pretty good. 399.00$. I had to put blinders on when I checked out some of the wider ones for over a grand. One had a pull out work surface, radio, with built in power strip. AND now I have to put sunglasses on when I look at these purple ones.....puppy purple. EEyuuuuu! :pQuote:

Getting that big ticket item behind me is the REAL beginning of my garage shop. The only other really expensive piece I will need then is a good MIG. Everything else should come pretty quickly and I will be fabbing in no time!! :D
