Got my new tool box today :-)

[dgreen1069]

I finally took delivery of my Strictlytoolboxes.com Tool Vault this afternoon. It was packaged very well and delivered without incident. The box was 99.99% perfect, but there was one small ding in one of the drawers (which I may not worry about). The workbench and cabinets were purchased last Monday. Here are a few photos:

To be honest, no. Not because I don't like them, but because I didn't know about them before I placed my order. I only started browsing this site a couple of weeks ago, just as I was starting to redo my garage. I found Strictlytoolboxes and really liked their offerings. The two things I'm not keen on with the HF boxes are the lack of a matching chest and availability of spare parts.

I paid $1875 for my top, bottom, and side cabinet plus another $30 for lift gate shipping. I never thought I'd spend that much on a box, but it will probably be around long enough I can leave it to my son.

It's hard for me to justify having a BX since I only have 1/4 acre, but it is probably my favorite toy....and I've had a few. The one I have now is a BX1500 and it is in like new condition. They guy who bought it new took meticulous care of it and stored it indoors. Today was the first time I've been able to use my new forks. They are from BXPanded and they are fantastic. I also bought his bucket hooks and light kit. I highly recommend his stuff to anyone with a BX.

Very nice box, I like the blue color.
That should last a couple of lifetimes.

Not a bad price at all . Enjoy ,

Very nice tool box. I'm going to jump on the "love the color" bandwagon

Two questions for you, How deep are the drawers on that box? How much weight can that tractor lift with those forks? I would love to have something like that.

The drawers on the top and bottom are both 17 1/4" deep (interior depth). The Kubota BX tractors are all rated to lift around 400 lbs. With that said, I lifted a 600 lbs. safe strapped to the bucket a while back....my buddy wanted to move it into his back yard and the dolly would have sank in the mud/snow. The limiting factor is really the tractor's wheelbase. Like most tractors, the loader has enough grunt to lift the rear end off the ground if you aren't careful.
