why aren't the macsimizer toolboxes well known or out there? i barrely see them out there any more. even ebay shows only a few at a time and the local craigslist is about 1 a month.

anyone have some pictures of the older red one or an old sales brochure i can see?

i want to buy back the same one my dad use to have. i loved that box

I've got a black one at work, bought new in '06.

There's 3 other macsimizers in the shop too, and 1 Cornwell, a few Snappys and a few Matcos.

The one Krusty had was a real nice box. Then he replaced it with this one.

Crappy cell pic, had it since 2000-ish. Got it as a recondition deal for $2500, it was supposedly sent back to repair something with the locking system, while it was out for repair it was damaged and the owner got a new box, my Mac dealer got it on a scratch n dent deal.

I did that on my last box. Those deep side drawers aren't good for much other than stacking box sets in them.

anyone know when they started the macsimizer series? why do some have black hand grips on the drawer fronts and others are chrome?

I had a Maximizer for a while. It was a decent box, but I had some issues with it. The drawers had very stiff detents. You had to pull really hard to get the drawers to open. It would have a tendency to toss the drawer contents around as it opened.

Also, I had to reweld the sheetmetal supporting one of the casters. There is NO WAY a box at this price level should be this flimsy around the caster support. These support brackets looked like they just had tack welds where the should have had long beads.
