    How to I.D. a Matco 6s box from a 4s/5s?

    Will do. Here's another picture that the owner sent me. He says there's no sticker/tags on the box to identify it by.

    How to I.D. a Matco 6s box from a 4s/5s?

    I haven't seen the box yet. It is about 100 miles from me, so just trying to get build up my knowledge and what I can find out now before actually going to go see it in person. He is asking $2500 for the box. If it is a 6s, then it is a good deal. One of the concerns that I have from simply...

    How to I.D. a Matco 6s box from a 4s/5s?

    Looking to possibly pick up a Matco 6s, but I just want to make sure what I am buying is as advertised. I am fairly new to Matco boxes. What can I look at to determine it is a 6s box and not a 5s/4s box? From the pictures that he has sent me, it has double tracks/rollers on the top drawer...

    Used low end SO/Mac boxes vs new harbor freight box?

    I actually don't really like upper/top boxes. I like having a working space on top of the box. Although, those hutches look pretty interesting, allowing you to hang your tools and have a shop light in there, etc.

    Used low end SO/Mac boxes vs new harbor freight box?

    Looking to see experiences, pros, cons, and opinions. If the value is not there, even though it is in my price range, would not justify me spending that amount. I can probably find a "more used" KRL or 5s/6s Mac box, etc, for slightly more than $2000, but then that'll start a snowball effect...

    Used low end SO/Mac boxes vs new harbor freight box?

    I am comparing the 72" HF box to a similar length sized truck box, which would most likely be a triple bank, unless they have double banks in those lengths as well. From my understanding, a Macsimizer box is on the higher end of Mac boxes. I am mainly trying to see if the lower end Mac/SO...

    Used low end SO/Mac boxes vs new harbor freight box?

    Everything I work on is always metric. There is a small amount of items that I actually work on that use standard. -Don

    Used low end SO/Mac boxes vs new harbor freight box?

    Thanks for the input. Hearing the pros/cons of having one single larger box vs multiple (2) smaller boxes will definitely help refine my final decision on the right box to get. -Don

    Used low end SO/Mac boxes vs new harbor freight box?

    I would like a 72" box or something closer to that. I originally thought I wanted a box that was 30", but I think that may end up taking too much floor space in the garage, so a 24" or so would be ideal. If I got a smaller box now, I may end up needing a second box, which at the moment, I...

    Used low end SO/Mac boxes vs new harbor freight box?

    I thought I was set on a harbor freight 72" tool box, until I went to go look at one in person until I went on craigslist and noticed that I could get a SO/Mac box of similar size but slightly deeper for around $2000. This would be for garage use. With the way I currently see it, if a used...

    Harbor Freight 72" Roller Cabinet...

    Not to be bumping old threads...but for those who had the box shipped to their house. Does the online shipping calculator reflect all of the shipping costs/fees or is it still possible they charge you an additional cost once it arrives to your location for lift gate fees? Shipping to me...

    US General 72"

    A bit slightly off topic, but I saw some people mentioning the prices of this tool box from HF. Is their current price of $1200 the best that we should expect to see this box sell at? I know HF can typically not discount their larger items like this one, so I am just curious if I should maybe...
