slap a snap on decal on the *f-word er and it will be the best damn plastic tool box ever!

 

[cantgitright]

No one knows what Lista is. Did you miss my point or just ignore it?

Those Craftsman boxes was used by a mechanic, every day for many years before I got them. Their not dirty. paint has faded and gone a little.

those older boxes are certainly better than the paper thin crapsman boxes of today!

Tool story:
Friend of mine and I were at a large rather famous open air flea market. Guy has a setup of name tools. No sets all onesies and twosies but good stuff. I asked my buddy how much he had in cash 200-300 same as me. I says to the guy," ok,make us a $500.00 pile". "Prices are marked" he says. Wouldn't budge an inch.

ive got a lot of that going on at home...I don't even have a real toolbox at home, well actually I do have a *s-wordty crapsman that the drawers are all falling out of, that someone gave me...
at work i have an old friction slide Matco bottom box that i got for free, its a pretty heavy duty box...that holds most of my measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, indicators, squares, etc.) ive been looking for a top box to match it, but haven't had much luck?
and i also have a 56" Lista single bank 9 drawer bottom box that i use for hand tools...that *f-word er is heavy, i usually just move it with the forklift if i have to move it far...as the soft wheels make it hard to push...need to put steel casters on it!
