Masterforce Box

[cookiemonster]

I found a used but good shape masterforce tool box two piece for $300. Do you guys think this is a good deal. I don't know the exact size but its the smaller one and several years old. Its width is about the same as the craftsman basic series. What do you guys think?

Menards is selling the discontinued model 56", 7 drawer top portion for $299 right now. If that sounds at all interesting, check their website.

depends on which one it is... they are pretty reasonable priced new.... just ordered a black 56" bottom and a 36" top and bottom in blue... picking up tomorrow.... cost was 629 on the top and bottom combo.... other was like 730...

Does anyone else think $300 is to much?

What's the width??

$300 is fair, but it's the max I would pay. A new one is $550 retail, and goes on sale for $500 or less.

ok.... there are many different masterforce boxes.... we need to know which one before we can say good or not

if this is what your looking at, new is 548 for top and bottom.... so, being used, i would inspect heavy the slides function and for and damage.... 300 would be high end used... couple hundred more and have brand new

If you don't care about having, or need, a matching cart portion, and you have the room and something to sit it on, the 56" top chest that they have on sale for $299 might be a better deal. It's on sale through at least 02/24.

I found those to be of better quality than the one on-sale at Home Depot, Lowes or Sears.

What size? I think $300 is out of line for any used 26'.
I'm a big Masterforce fan and recommend the brand. They have recently redesigned their line and as other posters have said there are good values out there on new 'old' models.

This is like saying "I found a for $2500, is that a good deal?"

Details man. Go on the Menards site, find the box, tell us which one it is.

He said it's a two-piece about the width of a basic Cman box. It's not that complicated...

Well I don't think they sell this size box anymore at Menards. I have been in Menards and their smallest box goes for 550 - 600 range. The used box I found is smaller then the current smaller size box at menards. I think its a few years old. Hard for me to compare the size if they don't make that size anymore or I can't find it and I don't see it on their web site. The size is very compareable to the basic craftsman boxes. But this box has only two pieces and not three like the craftsman.

In that case $300 is totally out to lunch IMO. $150 - $200 maybe.
