Hey, we have been making the Gray line of toolboxes since 1994, right here in Smiths Falls Ontario. Right beside the old Beach industries plant Pro, GT and XL. The black ones come from Asia.

Almost all of my tools are from yard sales, pawn shops, and thrift stores - so the mix is pretty representative of what people sell or lose (by spouse) when they die.

My boxes have a little bit of everything... lots of Craftsman, Kobalt, Mac, Matco, and Carlyle. Not much Snap On, just a few ratchets and maybe 3 or 4 sockets from them. No Cornwell, Stanley, Evercraft, or Armstrong, though I plan on making a VERY rare new tool purchase soon to buy 1/4 and 3/8 drive Armstrong locking flex head ratchets. I have very little HF stuff... some impact sockets and stubby roto ratchets for the most part.

Most of my sockets and ratchets are SK as well as my 3/8 air ratchet, some atd stuff, gearwrench for ratcheting wrenches and drivebelt tools, lisle, a few stanley items like screwdrivers and 1/2" impact sockets and bailey hand plane, mac (mostly pliers) and tool box, visegrip, 1/4 ratchet 3/8 and 1/2 impacts are IR, makita 12v and 18v for cordless, B&D for corded (1/2 drill, circular saw, sander), streamlight for my flashlight (love it). Compared to most other guys in the shop, I had the goodwill collection lol.

Nothing fancy, usually mac/SO/Matco was out of my budget. Went with SK because it was a lot cheaper, my mac guy carried them and they had the same warranty. All the convenience of the tool truck at 1/3 the price (plus Amazon had some killer deals). Nothing wrong with the major brands, just couldn't afford them. Each one has their perks.

Somehow, I think your very important post got lost in the shuffle!!

The boss and I were on a mini holiday in Brockville last week and could have easily come up to the plant to look around.

Anyway, have you considered making a Snap-On KRA 65 or the Plomb on this thread?? Think they would be both instant winners amongst this toolbox hungry crowd (and others).

http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71397

Why not do some self promotion and post up a few pictures of your plant and the products you produce??
