So I bought my dream box yesterday and will be getting it tomorrow. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-300...lling-Tool-Cabinet-Stainless-Steel/1000343177 Originally $2000 marked down to $1500. Asked them if that price is for the floor model (there were 2) or a brand new in box one. Was informed it was the floor models. Ended up talking to the manager and explained that for $1500 for a new in box unit was okay. But buying a "dent and scratch" floor model they would have to do better on the price. Keep in mind that the floor models are in exceptional condition. He came back with a price of $1275. Told him to make it an even $1200. He mumbled something about being under cost and I replied that he needs to get rid of these ones. And that eventually the remaining one will probably be sold for under a grand at some point. So he agrees to the $1200. Paid with the Lowes credit card and got another 5% off. So final price (before tax and delivery) was $1140. I am happy. I have been ogling this box in its many incarnations for many years. Always saying someday. Well someday finally came. I just hope that it arrives early tomorrow so I will have all day to get it set up and loaded up.

Congrats on making the deal work for you. Hope you enjoy using it as much as you've hoped you will.

Congrats on your new tool box. I have looked at those at Lowes and the pictures on the website don't do it justice.

Yeah I'll definitely get pics up, I'll get new and old next to each other. The new one dwarfs the old one.

All the delivery horror stories I've heard on this site, I don't think I would've let them deliver it. Take it out of the box and inspect it while it's still on the hydraulic lift.:fingersx:

So the box arrived this morning at 9am. No extra scratches and no dents. The old box is empty and the new one is full. All of my tools are now in one box instead of spread out over the garage. And I still have the 2 bottom most drawers still empty as well as the top portion. Already removed the stickers but still have a lot of clean up to do. It was sitting in the store since August. So lots of dust, smudges, and fingerprints. Took a side by side pic of the 2 boxes and a view of the ends to show just how much larger the new box is

Great score! I’ve always lusted for that one as well. I wish HF would come out with a line of stainless boxes to match all the colors.

Hey good going! I wouldn't have thought Lowe's local folks had any bargaining room - now I know better!

Looks like a good box. Stainless steel too. No rust! :p

Hope it serves you many years!

Me either. I started off the conversation with "I am looking to buy the single most expensive piece you have in this section". Not sure that helped or not. I live my life by the credo "everything is negotiable". But in reality most things aren't negotiable. But it never hurts to ask for a bargain. I was actually shocked that they dropped off the $1500 price. Twice no less.

and now we need pictures of over loaded drawers or every tool in its place lined up picture perfect.

Okay okay. I'll get that tomorrow. Only one drawer is loaded. That is my socket / ratchet / extension drawer. Drawer is supposed to be 100 pound limit. Not sure of all the weight but I think I am only "slightly" overloaded :).
