Finally bought a new tool box yesterday.

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.

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.

Right now, my toolbox is a plastic bus tub... One of these days I'll have a real one and will be able to FIND my tools again.

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!

Husky actually makes decent stuff. I will probably end up buying a second one of these to fill with just air tools and welding tools. Tomorrow I am buying my compressor!! 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!!

It's all about women and their pink boxes.

........Ha. I've come across plenty of websites about women and their pink boxes, but not this one quite yet.

I sure am (OCD has it's benefits), and I did...but the weak bars on my craftsman box were easily pried off. Hell, I could pry them off with my bare hands...and I'm a weak, frail little thing
