Nice set of tools! Well organized too.

Being a little type A myself, I tend to appreciate those who clean and organize them before putting them away for the next use.

Is that grinder bolted to the side box? Could be a useful way to get extra bench space.

Looks nice.. I am getting similar craftsman tools.. also in a SS box.

I don't like to take care of the stainless box for the finger prints, but when you open the drawer the reflection of the chrome wrenches on the other panels looks nice!!

did you just drill 3 holes so it goes onto the side handle of the costco box?

Also does the HF side box go on sale ..?

Great looking! I have the same box, I wish they made a stainless side for it.

How does the HF side connect?

Is it the EXACT same box? I ask because I have never seen another like mine. The other Costco boxes with the same configuration are different than mine. I like to *think* mine was special!!!!

The HF side, well...... I had to cut the hanger lip off of the side. I removed the handle from the box, lined up the boxes and measured where the handle bolts were. Drilled the HF box on both sides. Then I cut a section of 1/8 stainless I had in the shop into two pieces to cover those holes. Marked them and drilled them. Then I bolted it to the SS with the SS plate inside the HF box for re-enforcement. Then the handle was done on the opposite side. The Bottom of the HF box had 2 holes for mounting. I drilled the SS box to match those and bolted it up. Grade 8 hardware was used.

I have moved it a few times and it is solid. The only problem was the placement of the HF side box. It took me a while to decide where I wanted it and where the holes could be accessed once drilled. I like it and am planning on replacing and adding one to the other side. The new ones will still be the HF ones but in either SS or in Yellow. I am also going to add casters to the side box. I just need to have a small frame welded up for them to mount on to.
