At Wal-mart.

Regularly $139. Save 43% and free site to store shipping if your local store doesn't have it in stock.

This would make a perfect "beginner" tool set for a young kid / garage buddy or as the basis for a secondary set of tools (in a shed, lake house, etc).

That looks like the Craftsman one you see every once and a while on sale for something like $79 when it is half off.

The Sears one looks good in pictures, but when you see it in person it is really flimsy. When I saw it I thought it would be good to use for Arts & Crafts and stuff like that, but didn't think it would make a good tool chest. Might be a step above a "Kitchen Drawer" tool set, but not much more than that. I'm thinking this Stanley might be the same or similar.

It even has ball bearings. The basic $90 Craftsman/Evolv model doesn't even have ball bearings. Plus the tool set is a bonus.

Definitely a great bargain for the DIY'er to get their tools out of a small portable box, so that they can find what they need easier.

Oh... Sorry.... I didn't see that it included a basic tool set. Definitely a great deal then.

That deal, plus a free set of Harbor Freight Screwdrivers and free HF tape measure, and you are ready to go for some basic homeowner stuff.

I also see it comes in black, in addition to the blue in the OP;

24" tall? A tool box for toddlers? :lol:

However, after zooming in on the photo, I see 46" H on the box.

The black version has a single roll-up door on the lower portion, while the blue has two swing-out doors.

Where are you seeing the height? Are you sure it isn't 24" wide?

The comments say that the upper box is shipped packed in the lower box. Considering the packing box is only 14" deep, the upper drawers are likely quite shallow.

Even so, this reads like a reasonable configuration for someone with only an overflowing carry-around toolbox. Pretty much every review says that it arrived dented.

I decided to get one of these. I bought a similar HDX box from Home Depot when they had it for $50 and I am very happy with it. As long as you don't overload it, it's a good little box for the money. I keep all of my go-to carpentry/home maintance type tools in mine. I am willing to bet this is the same box, just a different color. I am going to use it to store the most commone sockets, wrenches, etc. so that they are easy for everyone to find. It will not be used to hold the big stuff. It should hold me over until I can afford a big box.

Would be good for an electrical chest. That gap is probably decent for soldering just slap a light up top and put some grip liners on the bottom and instant awesome. Why don't I ever take my own advice...oh right, beer+cigarettes>tools.

Box alone this is a great deal; don't know about the tools they include but it looks like a fairly complete basic set but probably china not taiwan so maybe a 20-30 dollar value?

The reviews on the site are mixed. Some people are complaining that the box is damaged in shipping. I would try to get it free shipped to the store for pick up, then if it is damaged you don't have to haul it back for a refund.

The metal is so thin that if it isn't damaged it soon will be...
