Great feedback guys!!! I am considering getting a 44" top and bottom to start with. Unless someone can tell me why I would be better off with a 56" or 72". Are there differences besides the size? A lot of people mentioned the drawer depth...are the newer ones deeper? Are you talking about the...

l'm building a shop and want to expand my tool storage. l will likely just set the box(es) in place and leave them there. l'm considering just going with US General from HF, as they are a lot of box for the money, from what l hear. Please tell me what you like about yours and don't like. l...

Thanks, good to know.

I have found a few brands on Ebay from the UK, one of them is Bergen. Does anyone know the level of quality in British tools?

I thought I was pretty clear that I wanted less expensive things tools for school so I would get expensive tools ripped off.

Thanks for all the input guys. I should have stated that I have a pretty decent collection of higher end tools (Snap On, Williams, Mac, Proto, etc) and I don't want to take them to school for obvious reasons. I saw the name Sunex come up quite a bit. I see Sunex often on Ebay, I will keep an...

Thanks!!! My wife uses it sometimes and I didn't think of it.

Agreed that Pittsburgh is a great value. I just had so many break that I quit buying them. I don't want to have to buy two of everything.

Good to know. How do you get the student discount? From their website?

Thanks, but I would like better than Harbor Freight. They are definitely the cheapest.

Interesting. How do you get the discount? I have found good deals for Tekton on Ebay, which may already be at a bigger discount.

The post says it all. I am going back to school and I want to get the best cheap tools I can...tools that will do a decent job but won't break the bank if they "disappear." I was looking at Tekton ratcheting wrenches. I also see decent deals on GearWrench. Any other suggestions?

I took a closer look at it and agree. I got one that is a step above.
