Got mine from HF.... A great deal... Saves you time of running to the store when you just need that right size nut or bolt....

I bought it 4 years ago and still go to it on occasion..

I had my hopes up, then read the description. Assembled in China, from "imported" components.

I just looked at the HF website and didn't see them there

Unfortunately, HF sometimes stops stocking certain items...

Kinda like when they sold those transmission tables... I wish I would have bought one when they sold them.....

the organizer may be fine, but i would be nervous about buying hardware at harbor freight. I own three things from harbor freight: 20 ton press, mechanic's stool, roller stock support. The fasteners on all three were nothing short of horrible.

I've been considering the one from Griot's Garage for almost a decade. All of the metric fasteners are made in Germany, the SAE are made in USA.

I've never pulled the trigger, mostly because it's not enough space for all the fasteners I like to have on hand. Right now I have a lot of my fasteners in Systainer 1 containers with inserts and Sortainers which works well for me.

The sams and the Griots look almost identical except the sams club comes with bolts. I may have to pick one of those up.

Griot's also sells the one with the 2000 fasteners as previously stated, however it is $349 instead of $105.

There is also one that looks identical sold by Olympia-tools sold at Running Fleet and Farm on sale this week for $99, it is also sold by Home-Depot.

I've taken a look at those, costco and sams carries it from time to time. the storage box and cradle seems fine but the inserts are cheap and thin plastic. You can feel the flex in them, I don't think they will hold up very long and will just crack.
