sure is pretty!!
we have the same box in dark blue.
the only thing i don't like is the screwdriver holders on the sides, they're too narrow and the inside metal is too tall to comfortably get a screwdriver. we use it for prybar storage and put the screwdrivers in a drawer. snap on doesn't seem to make a side box for screwdrivers in our color.

It is the 90th Harley box. I had a chance to buy a matching top for it on CL for $500, but after I put the other side cab on it I had to take the bench out of the garage to fit the box in there, so I put a counter top on it, now it is a tool box/bench.

I see some familiar stuff in the background.....municpal shop?
Darkscope, how did you get your Cman pro screwdrivers to fit into the Cman screwdriver holder? I tried with mine (following the technique someone else posted here by cutting tabs here and there), but they are just super snug and become useless...

I likey, how do you like your locker? i'm thinking after i get the top chest, than comes either the side chest or locker.
Police cars, fire trucks, construction equipment and anything else the city owns.

I love the locker, free'd up a lot of room from the other boxes. It doesn't come with 2 shelves, only one. I bought one locker, and when I got it home, it was dented. So I called up HF; they pulled another out and told me to come exchange it. I made a joke about being compensated for the extra travel and hassle. I wanted the $6 magnetic screwdriver holder/shelf, manager said "absolutely not!" with an attitude. So I took the shelf and draw liners from it before returning it "wanted the draws, but I'm sure they would have noticed that."
Anyway, I love the locker, and choose it over the smaller multi draw cabinet because of the adjustably. I have a lot a specialty tools in cases and wanted to make more room. I plan on getting one for the other side when I run out of room again." Oh, and it's on sale $199.00, got 20% off; $171.** out the door.

Just bought a very similar cart to that one @ NAPA
IIRC I think it made by Homak.
The drawer pulls are different,and I have screwdriver/prybar storage on the sides,which is built in,accessed through the top.
The SO cover p/n BPNCVR10T fits it perfectly.

This box has the screwdiver/prybar storage as well.
I would love to find more infomartion on the box i got.
All i know is it has matco tool stamped on the handle and on the plastic skids rails.
Anyone know what year / part number it is. Yeah i am going to see if i can find a cover for it as well.

Same casters,handle,plastic edge guards
I have a different drawer locking system inside the top compartment.There is two rods that are pushed down when the top lid closes.Other than that they are identical.

When I saw that cart, it reminded me of the cart I once saw on Ebay some time ago. I wanted to buy it as it was cheap for what it is.
I've also seen it sold under the SATA brand--a Danaher brand that uses the exact same logo as Matco, and sold for the Chinese domestic market.

Small Update...starting moving tools over and organizing.
But not sure what to do with the 12 point sockets. (i only have a few).
Any ideas on what to do with 12 point vs 6point??
I really like the Hansen socket trays.

Not sure what you mean by 12 point verses 6 point. USE THEM?
Merk, has 12 point for his old SAE, sockets, and 6 point for metric.
Myself and others, have multiple sockets (never know when you will need two of some size). I use 6 point most often, 12 point when working with old (square) or newer 12 point fasteners (12mm Ford drivetrain, 16mm some Dodge 3/4 ton or greater vans/brakes).

That is too much of a personal preference thing. If you have enough room, Hansen's are good (long drawer in shop chest). I don't use the 12 points enough, that I leave them all in one drawer, with several of my bit (philips, hex, specialty. etc) bits.

Ive been wanting to get a cart for some time now. Any chance you have a link to those on ebay, I cant seem to find them.

@jashgtp Since I have limited space I keep my 6pts in the Hansen trays and 12 pts on rails in a lower draw. Main reason for this is that I use the 6pts more often amd need the quicker access. Do what suits your needs best.
