I am getting two new HF 44's in orange and want to put the large Mac tools sticker and hopfully macsimizer /tech series too. However I can't find anything else on ebay except for the one style of Mac tools.

Don't make fun of me, they are great quality boxes and I don't have a ton of money for a real truck brand box. This is a soft compromise. All said and done I doubt anyone can tell the difference between a real one!

Yeah, don’t be ashamed of the HF box. It’s no big deal.

By the way, most guys in the tool world can tell and we probably would never say anything about a plain Jane HF box, but be prepared to take some grief if you sticker it up with Mac or SO stickers.

Most general public wouldn't know a Waterloo from an SK or Proto and never heard of either. the damn thing already Reads US General. How " American" is that ? Get a print shop to make some stars and a purple heart to dress it up.
Here's about the right size. If you really want them to think you have badass shiit get some Craftsman badges OOOOOOOOOOOOOO ! Instant ***** from the avg ignorant male.

If you are going to fake it, go all the way. Have fake decals made by a vinyl shop.

Or recognize that no one actually cares and spend your money on something useful.

There's only a couple of things about toolboxes that I mock:

1> Attempts to sell a Snap-on box on Craigslist for MSRP, and swearing that's what they paid for it

2> Rebadging a toolbox to "upsell" it - either a fraudulent sale to someone who doesn't know better (see this on Craigslist ALL the time), or to remove some kind of idiotic perceived "stigma" to a lesser brand.

Like has been said here: there's nothing wrong with the US General boxes. Don't be embarrased by them, and if anyone mocks you for owning them, congratulations, you just found an insecure jackass.

Yep, there is nothing wrong with US General tool boxes. Proudly made in the Peoples Republic of China and imported just for the US market

The new Mac boxes have a made in the USA emblem with the American flag on it. You could have a emblem , that has made in China with the Chinese flag on it.

It is what it is, US General boxes are fairly good homeowner boxes that are made overseas. Similar to Milwaukee power tools. for the most part good quality tools made overseas
