Anyone got a Masterforce side box?

[78C-10]

Yesterday I went to Menards and I ordered a black Masterforce side box to mount on my Mac MB box. I just wondered if anyone here had one and had any pictures of it with your tools in it. I'll have to wait a week or so. In the the meantime show us pics if you've got them. Thank you.

I have this one. I just got done moving it from the hanger.

The main box has been replaced with a wider one since these photos were taken. I love the locker and the side box. I made a work surface for the side box out of mdf and shellac.
Also added a magnetic power strip to the back of the box because the side box covers the built in one on the main chest.

That's an awesome setup! Thank you for the up close pics of the side box. I know mine won't be perfect lining up on my Mac box but I'm not dropping $3,000 on a Mac side box! Looking forward to getting mine. Hard to believe though that black is a special order but oh well.

By "side box" you're referring to the shorty chest on the right, not the locker, correct?

By the way, both add-ons required a shim to keep the vertical gap consistent, otherwise the gap at the top is 1/2" and zero at the bottom. I just put a scrap of 1/2" plywood near the bottom and the weight holds it in place.

That is an awesome set up! Menard's has some of if not The nicest tool boxes,cabinets and add ons out there. Especially for the money. They're very well built and professional looking. Our Menard's has expanded their tool storage line rapidly. There's a couple of Craftsman boxes there too but they're nothing like this. I was in there today and just in the last week they've brought in tons of new 20v brushless Masterforce power tools too. Vac,impacts,tile saw.. Ours had the 7 1/4 20v brushless circular saw on sale for $129 bare tool. Rafter hook, metal upper And lower guard which I never noticed before. Tons of deals in there right now. Some of them looked very Makita like.

Yes I mean the shorty side box with drawers not the locker.

Yeh the menards boxes are pretty nice for the sale/rebate prices.
24" depth, pretty rigid and nice pull latch system with latch mechanism on outer side of drawer.
Only thing that holds them back is limited store locations and expensive shipping option .
They also benefited way more if designed it fit various drawer layouts and sell drawers individually so could tailor it slightly after purchase .

Not trying to intrude with "another brand" but there is no Menards near me however I did add a side cabinet to my US General set up... as you can see in the pic, the rear corner was slightly dented...I paid 9.00 cash and 14.00 store credit for the side cabinet at one of Harbor Freights parking lot sales... side cabinets seem to be a fairly inexpensive way to increase storage space.
