The guy I got it from said that his company was moving and getting rid of a bunch of stuff, I don't think he knew what he was selling. That's ok with me though! He probably got it for free, so everyone wins!

sweet deal,keep the craftsman too...

+1. The quality of Craftsman cabinets may get worse, so I'd also keep it. You don't want to kick yourself one day for selling it when you add a few more tools over time. Nice find, congrats.

I am going to one up you, but I remember seeing one at work, and didn't think to much of it. Then seeing a comment on here years ago that if you didn't have Lista cabinets you weren't serious about your shop. So I walk around the building looking for it so I can see what all the hub-bub is about. SO when I find it, I ask the guy at work that uses it if he can open it so I can look at it. So he gets the key and opens it. And then mentions that he doesn't use it anymore, and asks if I want it. I calmly say 'I guess I can take it off your hands. I'll go get a dolly to move it' I immediately run to find a dolly and get it into my truck before he changes his mind.

The only thing I will caution, is you will get the desire to have all your tool cabinets to match, which means only Lista from here on out. I am probably going to sell all my other cabinets soon...lol

Very nice! That's an awesome score, free always wins! I hear you on wanting everything to match, that will be difficult for sure. I think this box will hold me over for a long time though, the deep drawers offer so much more room. Great find!
