Lowes "white" tool boxs

[slackdaddy1]

Just showed up in one of the local Lowes.

I really liked them, The 41" Bottom is 349.00, top was 249.00

I thought it was just a painted version of the existing Kobalt boxes, but it is much more solid.
It really struck me when I opened the drawer, how much heavier it felt.
I compared it to the S.S. version next to it. The drawer metal is a different form, it was greatly doubled over where the S.S. one was not.

I would have bought it on site, if I had not just bought the 2 Montezuma boxes.

They look sharp! I just bought 1 yellow dewalt lowers to link though.

I really like the look of these. They seem to be quite similar to the Milwaukee boxes.

The white ones have a double wall construction so they are much heavier. As for the stainless boxes, they aren't. Next time you go shopping try sticking a magnet to one.

There are different grades of stainless, some of them are magnetic and some are not.

Pretty neat for a mass market box. If only it were more than 18" deep...

Ben spotted this at his local Lowes a month and a half ago, but I still haven't seen it near me. I expect to see it soon - floor displays are often changed up ahead of Fathers Day.

I have a Lowes stainless finish toolbox, at the time it was their largest

About the only thing I didn't like is they packaged them poorly, I had some minor damage but decided to just live with it.

I love the contrast of white and black, but I've always been iffy about white things because they seem to get that dirty grungy look to them really quick.

Lowes had some colored boxes before but poorly marketed. I first heard about the white boxes late last year and went to my Lowes to see one. When I got there I found this one set on clearance in front of tools. Notice it is the same as the white one down to the the decals. They only had the one and wouldn't separate it. I was looking for bottom boxs to do a " steevo" bench. The tool associate got on the computer and found other stores who only had the bottom box. I ended up buying four boxes which he had shipped to my store no charge. With my veterans discount I ended up paying $250 a box so saved $400 over the same approach with HF boxes. I now have to get the shop finished and get them setup.

Yeah I wish I had seen them prior to buying 2 Montezuma's.
I still can not believe how heavy and solid they feel compared to the other Kobalts, Huskys, Craftsmans. I was in HD and Sears yesterday and their boxes/drawers feel like tissue paper compared to the white Kobalt box.

It is sharp looking for sure.

WOW ... I like it!!!

 

[slackdaddy1]

Guess I waited to long,, they are now $750.00,, they were 350.00

I thought Lowes closed out the Kobalt boxes in favor of Craftsman. I picked up a few red ones on closeout.

 

[Farmall450]

Wow, those look good. Pretty darn good prices too, even if they're lighter than HF.

They were never $350 around here.

I have the white bottom but missed out on the white top.
