    Finally bought a new tool box yesterday.

    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.

    ...but they're the wrong color Sue, lol. 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! ) 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.

    I too keep odd foodstuffs in my toolbox; you're not alone Ebenezer. Pop tarts seem a good choice...they keep well.

    :
    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...

    And I got a way cool set of pink Snap-On screwdrivers (both large and some really fine micro ones) and they're rubberized so my hands love them!

    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!

    I kinda figgered that.

    I've got some pliers that I inherited from my grandfather that may be 75 years old. My favorite ones & you can't find any comparable nowadays. The jaws stay parallel all the way from full open to closed.

    Kat....which Kat??

    that's the main website for those pink boxes I attached.

    Ebzy....Purple?....I WISH!

    Kat- I got this set, but to win them I ended up at $70+ IIRC.

    Also got their awesome 5 position ratcheting screwdriver with rubberized handle, I use it a lot. I got the red trim....apparently not available in pink...

    But, alas, I had to settle for good ole' Harbor Freight....got this roller cart/chest last month, you know how they always have some killer sales and coupons on top of that, so it was uber good deal, and surprisingly good quality.....drawers are really smooth. But I've GOT TO figure out how to disable the locking mechanism so I don't have to raise the lid for the drawers to open. I'm thinking of taping down those pegs...or cutting them off ..... but I'm still "planning" on getting that 3 drawer pink one!

    well kinda....myself and "MeowMix", who actually goes by the name Kat "in real life"....course I do too a little when I'm around this gang. That's why she changed her handle to MeowMix, so people like you wouldn't get cornfuzed...

    Sorry to come along and encroach on your nickname, Sue/Kat...I don't mind being called "Meow" though. Really you can call me just about anything and I'll probably respond to it.

    Those pink screwdrivers are super cute, and reasonably priced...considering they're snap-on. I may have to pick up a set sometime later (saving up for new tires at the moment). That green ratcheting screwdriver is exactly the one I have, color and all...luckily it was inside my house when the thieves got the rest of my tools. It's fabulous, and I too use it constantly. Though I also used to have a stubby ratcheting screwdriver just like it...I miss that one a lot.

    Not a bad looking rolling cart/box, but opening the top to open drawers would really get old...I feel your pain there. I'm thinking pink boxes would be the perfect solution to that problem

    Well, we tried anyway...lol. Pretty sure there are only a handful of people who remember that my handle here was once "SunfireKat"; however, those who know me from Moab know "real life" me, and thus know me to be Kat. I feel sorry for y'all though, having to tolerate every obnoxious bit of me for that full week. Especially Mark, lol.

    ...but really, just call me Meow. It'll alleviate some confusion.
