Blue Ponit or Kennedy with tools

[Shortbed350]

Alright guys I'm in a situation I found a guy with a kennedy 520 in great condition STUFFED with machinist tools for $100 and I was gonna get it today until I found a blue point tool box on craigs and I got the seller down to $200 well my other half says I can only get one. Which one would you guys get?

I didn't get a chance to snap a pic on the kennedy with tools but have some of the blue point

What about that 3rd one for $300 that came with 2 boxes?

Is there anything included in the bluepoint one or is it just the box? I'd probably go for the Kennedy if only even for the contents if they are in decent shape. If the tools are junk, the bluepoint seema like a good deal

Haha I don't think she'll fall for that one.

Yeah, the blue point is just the toolbox, the Kennedy box and the tools were both in very nice condition.

1. Trade/sell/dump "other half".
   
2. Then buy both, pick the machinist tools you want/need, select the better of the boxes & sell the other box and the tools you don't want to offset - maybe completely - your outlay.

Got to get both, must!!

Depends, what do you NEED right now? The Kennedy may be a fantastic deal, depending on the contents. Then again, are you in need of machinist tools right now?

For a general home tool box I think the BP would be nice, much better for general storage vs the Kennedy. You will probably get 5x the amount of tools in the BP that you would the kennedy. Then again the BP is not portable, do you need a portable box right now?

Buy both. Sell some of the machinist tools to cover the cost.

The Blue Point is basically a Snap-On 26" KRA-series stack. The KRL guys won't agree (and I don't care), but the KRA boxes are very decent quality. If it's in good shape and large enough for your needs, $200 is a screaming deal for it.
