Bought My First Toolbox!

[articfox]

So What do you guys think?

Bought the box(es) last night for $500, and brought it into work (Timco Aviation Services) that night. Rolls good, locks alright, had one drawer with an attitude (would not lock at first), She ain't pretty but she'll work! May look into restoring it in the summer on my days off, but for now, I got myself some degreaser that I will probably use on the box before my shift starts, and I got some tray liner (The other mats have seen better days). I just sent in a key request to MAC Tools, which by the way has a very nice and helpful customer service (Hopefully they will get back to me on what model box this is because I cannot find the stamp!). Going to be filling some of my drawers today with my 220 piece set of Craftsman Tools and Craftman Pliers that I got for Christmas.

Also I would like to add, Thank you everyone who put in there 2 cents on my first thread about this toolbox, I will definitely be taking the advice of greasing the friction slides, and perhaps waxing it.

clean it up, make it shine. fill it up and take care of it. good buy.

i know a diesel tech who has a similar setup with two snap on cabinets he put on a frame and has a top chest on one. hes been doing it many years, seems to work well for him. he also used to be a road service guy and has the heavy duty road chest.

i think you will like that box myself.

To deserve that over-the-top accolade, he'll have to tell us what he paid.

Got a call back from MAC Tools and they have identified my toolbox as 2 MB5200 Toolboxes welded together. Of course after they told me what it is I found the stamp on each box at the top left hand side when looking at the back and it is indeed a set of MB5200. Where did these toolboxes rank when these where new? Loweline, Mid line, or Top of the line? anyone know?

That's what I started my career with one of those and a top box I got it at a pawn shop. Friction slides aren't great but worked well. I regret ever selling it.
