I'm a subscriber to that channel and I started the video before reading the title. Chuckled to myself that I recognized you from here. Then spent the next hour hoping you'd talk about the US General boxes in the custom bench. Awesome interview/tour, thank you for sharing.

I would order through Mister Worker again. I ordered the 12pc set December 10th and after a backorder delay and an issue with customs, they delivered in February 28th. They answered all my inquiries within 24hrs and ended up refunding the shipping fees even though I hadn't asked. The...

I too was lured in with a YouTube Video. 285X/SE12 (Wrenches) & 285 KBV12 (Holder) I placed my order on December 10th and I'm still waiting. They shipped Feb 3rd, but they were returned to shipper before they left Italy, without an explanation. That's where we're at now - waiting for them to...

Just a few simple things to do and the box will be complete. Picked up the box this afternoon from powder coat and it looks great. Really glad we went with white, the polished parts pop and the black accents will go nicely with it. The body work didn't turn out perfect and you have to work at...

The drawers are at powder coat and should be done this week. The main part of the box is still at the body shop. We have decided on white for the box and drawers.

Your absolutely right, that's exactly how I see it. The box is still at the body shop. I don't know when it will be done, just kinda hoping they'll get to it soon. Searching Google, I found a thread on JockeyJournal of some members suggesting a local chrome and polishing shop, so I figured I...

UPDATE Dropped the box off today the body shop that did the work on my wrangler recently. They quoted me $200 for the metal work on the top portion of the box. I'm getting pretty deep into this box, but I keep telling myself it's going to last another 50 years, so onward we go. Should be done...

Thanks, I have reached out on one of my local Jeep club forums for suggestions of who I can take it to for the metal work. We're not looking for perfect, we just want it back to useable and ready for paint. This is probably the scariest part cause we're beyond spending more than we expected...

HERE is a link to the eBay auction I bought it on. Note, the seller was obviously sure it was a SnapOn box. I assured him I would not hold him to it since there were no identifying markings other than the old sticker shown in the picture. I am 100% satisfied with the purchase. :beer:

Our current project. Still trying to figure out Model/Brand (THREAD HERE) Initial Inspection & Tear down After Media Blast (our current stage) Next step is some body work through this weekend. Then: powdercoat or Paint (Color: TBA) Then: bedlining the inside of the drawers and top...

Thanks for the suggestion. The metal is nice and thick, so it may not be too difficult to take that buise out. If you notice in the picture below, the bottom box part of that bruise is somewhat straight. Thats was after a couple hard hits with a body hammer when I brought the box home from...

Would you mind taking a couple pics of the drawer slides? I made a call to Edsal Manufacturing, who seems to have bought MBC, very pleasant on the phone, but not exactly interested in helping me identify the box. Here's mine:

I sent an inquiry to Huot with a link to all my photos and got this reply: Mr. *****, Yes, it does have a lot of similarities to a style we made, but its not. The drawer fronts and end handles made us suspicious but the slides confirmed that it definitely was not made by Huot. Nevertheless...

No luck yet. We're still surfing the internet and haven't found the model and brand this box was sold under. I just picked it up this afternoon from a shop that handled the media blasting (plastic), so I'm going to send off an email to Huot and see if anyone on the receiving end can help...

Thanks! I tried to make out what it says there, but I haven't a clue. Maybe if someone were more knowledgeable on tool related brands, they would have a better idea. I agree. This box is definitely a Huot, Model 100 perhaps, I too think it's been manufactured for another company. The pulls...
