Over twenty, including seven Snap Ons plus a Snap On cart. I like storage! :spit:

Who's side box is attached to the blue box? I picked one up off CL for $5 but there are no markings to identify it.

PS my wife is now starting to give me a wee bit of attitude about keeping both tool boxes lying around in the foyer. I'm like, what ????, they look good there. I still have to clean them and recondition the slides with grease. Yippee.

And I have a 1 car garage...

I'm not quite sure.:headscrat My main box has a few smaller ones on it. I have a small one for my paint stuff and I'm sure there's at least one in that pile at the back of the shop.

Here's the main one...

I have this set (which I purchased new in about 1978) at my primary residence, which is where most of my tools are kept:
1156199907_csNbT-L.jpg


And then I also have this set, which houses my lathe/mill tooling:

And at my other place I have a Craftsman rollaway and top box with general tools in it (no pictures), and I have four of these boxes in the shop that I am building a workbench for:
