Anyone know who makes these?

I'm guessing maybe Waterloo?
Anybody have any experience with them?

That's a good price

Don't know if this was covered in the other thread, but for other people reading - just realize that any of the brand named items Costco sells are usually "licensed" products.. Not saying they are not good quality, (they usually are), but they are made by someone else..

Examples - some the CAT branded LED lights are made by EZ Red
The Snap On branded led lights are made by Alltrade tools if I remember correctly.

Nice looking box.
so it shows $1,299.00
So they'd be $1000.00 plus Tax?
How deep is the box?
do wish we had a Costco around here.

Those look to be the same design as the Dewalt and milwaukee boxes. Possibly same manufacturer.

If you read the whole listing, the majority of the production appears to be in the USA, the Milwauke box is made in Vietnam, and i dont recall where the Dewalt box is made.

And at the bottom of the description it states that they are licensed merchandise. Caterpillar does sell boxes of their own, if you go to a dealer. They are made by Snap On/Williams, and priced similarly to Williams US made line of boxes.

I'm a John Deere guy through and through, but I wouldn't mind having one of those in my shop.
