So I've finally narrowed my search to two boxes. My current budget doesn't allow me to put down the cash for a big name box (even with my student discount). Its either:

The Masterforce 41"

or the Montezuma 41"
http://www.strictlytoolboxes.com/montezuma-toolbox/montezuma-toolboxes-by-sizes/montezuma-41-inch-toolboxes/montezuma-tool-boxes-41-11-drawer-tool-cabinet.html

I have a small 26" Masterforce and I'm very pleased with the quality of built (I dare say its superior to Craftsman). I have never see a Montezuma in person so I dont have a clue how its built, though the reviews are positive. About $250 price difference

Keep in mind I plan on keeping this box when I get out of school and enter the work force (aviation maintenance)

hey what about masterforce 56" bottom box as i do see it was for 599 or 699 dollars?? i do like 56" bottom but i had bought the 36" full wide drawers bottom box first... i am considering about buy the 56" bottom later if i has money and space...

it has more wide drawers and 6 casters.... i like it..

the montezuma box is ok but i had test it and it dont give the full length drawer opens... it will stop about 1 inch... i dont like it...

I have considered buying a larger Masterforce box because of the price difference. I just want to make sure the masterForce will handle shop conditions

i had used my masterforce bottom box (36") and i had to took it to my garage after one tech and janitor had decided to moved it triple times and cause it fell down while i am right here and work on vehicle!! it was problem is they hit something like lift parking bump on floor or hit the air hose that cause bump and made all drawers pop out to fell down...

it is look good and still strong after three times accidents...

i would recommend you to have double the slides on drawers as you can have more loads on it.. also just make sure keep drawers closed all time and lock it before move it...
