Lyon storage cabinet/Toolboxes

[tonydanzah]

So while I was in my electromechanical class tonight I noticed the toolbox at the end of the table. Was lista blue in color. I went over and looked at it closer. The brand is LYON and sticker said Aurora,IL. Very stout looking, I looked at there prices and they were not out of line either

I've got a couple old Lyons tool carts, but they belong in an antique thread. Can't comment on their new stuff. The old carts aren't pretty but they are handy.

 

[tonydanzah]

did yours happen to same where they were made?

 

[alex71]

Their industrial cabinets are good... similar to Vidmar and Lista. Priced accordingly, of course. I've never seen their toolboxes, but judging by the pricing they are not of the same quality level.

One says Aurora, IL, the other says both Aurora IL, and York PA.

This isn't a chat room, it's a forum. At least give it a few hours before fishing for responses.

Anyhow, Lyon cabinets do look pretty good, but are still way out of range of my budget. =(

I was searching for Snap On hard handles and ran across this thread.



Some of their boxes look an awful lot like the Mac Economizer/Husk/Beach Canadian boxes. I wonder if they have an outlet store in Aurora with a scratch and dent section.

Hey, just a couple hours away.

Donald, OR is right next to Aurora, OR. Wierd. And, having been through Donald many a time for work, I had no clue anything but truckstops, a Napa warehouse and a bbq trailer were there.

if there 11 drawer roller cabinet was 13 draw, it would look identical to my HF box.

Lyon 21-drawer storage, cut down from a system that had them mounted inside full-height shelving.

Good stuff. Heavy.
