looking for a new toolbox

[solitaire]

Any input good/bad about these toolboxes? Or should I be patient and keep checking craigslist for a used Snap-on? The only requirement for me is that I want a bottom box only with pretty deep drawers (24'' or deeper at least)

I'm 100% satisfied with my International. However the same box can be had from qualitytoolsforless.com for $949. It's also made in a country that has some environmental and labor standards, Canada.

International is a good brand and reasonably priced. I believe that they make boxes for Wright and NAPA!

are the internationals drawer actually measure 24'' deep? Or is the overall box 24'' deep and the drawer is less than 24'' ?

The Montezumas are really nice boxes too. They are also a site sponsor that offers discounts for members. The website is strictlytoolboxes.com and the guys name is Shannon.

no they will not be the full 24 inches... more like 22 inches deep or so gotta have a frame/casing to hold the drawers

heres what i currentl am using, but i do not like the top box. So i was going to sell the top for around $300 and keep the bottom and put the $300 towards a bigger deeper bottom box

whats wrong with that box?

That same Montezuma can be had for under $2K on Strictly. For about $2350, you can have a 72" Classic Series Montezuma which is a full 30" deep. Your call, but for an extra $350 and 6", it'd be a no brainer for me.

agreed, the 30'' deep looks like the best value. Is it just me or does the drawer pulls look a little cheap on the montezumas?

They aren't chromed. They're like a flat silver powder coat. Resists scratches and cleans real easy though! I like them better after using them.
