Very nice. I'll take a used box like that and spend a little bit of money to make it ur own anyday than a brand new one that u would spend 4x the money on and is like all the others.
You will really appreciate what you did once u start to customize it

My Kijji score , a Proto i like it
C'est bon! Congrats! Only once did I see a Proto box a local tool store, and I was impressed. It looked very well built with a nice drawer layout. So you found that on kijiji? Even better! All I see on our local kijiji are trashed junk boxes and overpriced Snap-On. Nice to get a great score once in a while.

Here's mine. Just recently added the HF 44" bottom. I found the small Husky box on CL for $15 - It was brand new but dropped at the store. The back corner of the lid was dented. I bent it back to shape and it can now close and lock although I don't need to close and lock it.
I'm still getting things set up so they're not all in their permanent positions. Wrenches will be organized on wrench holders soon.

Paid little over 500$ with half off from school
These are pics just after getting it and it's overflowing with tools already, not even 3 months old yet

I am liking those sliding vertical draws on that viper box. Not overly huge, but still can accommodate your air and electric tools.
Safe to say the say layout is on the side?

Old Snap On top and bottom box i picked up for $120
Scraped all the stickers off, sanded down the paint, primed, painted and threw on some new wheels. $150 later this is what ive got:
Nice!! I really like to see these older boxes after they've been refurbished.

Ok, I've got to build one. Great idea!it's a homemade cabinet
I know a few guys have asked for this one...
72 IN. 18 DRAWER GLOSSY RED INDUSTRIAL ROLLER CABINET Lot No. 61656 Valid Thru: 3/31/15 - $999.99 Coupon Code: 94436814
Well the clerk at the register messed up and gave me an awesome deal on the 72" box. 70% off retail total... maybe just my lucky day.
I love it, i upgraded from this....
to this... even though its about 20,000 cubic inches smaller it holds all my tools i had in the craft/husky boxes. and they were full, it took some re organizing and strategy but it all fits great, the deep thin drawers make for much much more usable space

You lucky son of a gun.
I paid $699 plus tax on my 56" few weeks ago. You ended up spending about $100 more than me.
You got a hell of a deal.

Pretty jealous of your Eaton sticker. Where'd you get it from/with?
JUSTIN664.....very nice but did u look under the box at all. I noticed with those 72" ones the quality control is horrible. Splatter blob welds to hold the bottom shelf together. Gaps over 1/4-1/2" big

Maybe I got lucky but it might have been a one off or batch issue as I didn't have those issues with my 72" cabinet.

So I locked the deal in for $500. Should be here in a week or two. Snap on tried ripping me off and saying that the price was 700. No mf you said 500. Don't back out on your word.
Will have to post pictures whwn I get it.

Got my first Ernst set last week, they are awesome. Can't wait to see your final setup.

I like that you opted for the appropriate ****-haze filter on your pictures... Nice touch.

My boxes:
Three tier Cman combo box, ball bearing slides, other than that it's nothing terribly special.
Beside it is the bench I built this past summer, currently being used to get the transmission and engine out of my antique tractor off the floor, repainted an old vice from another cart that I had lying around.
This one is a Craftsman I scored from my uncle a while back (might be an old Beach box?). It sits atop another roll around benchtop that I built out of leftover lumber from the other bench project. Below is the first box I got as a kid, as well as misc stuff (lawnmower blades and what not).
Being that I am away from home for school, I have with me two tool bags and a couple of milk crates that suffice for my needs around here.

Thats the first time i have ever seen one of those boxes, I must say that would make an excellent choice for a motorcycle tech

Thanks!
I'm still trying to decide whether or not to get rid of the Hansen trays. Did the cart also yesterday.
