I know it is small, but hey I am just starting out
Well I have started already. I think I am going to put my craftsman tool kit tools in this one! I may have to move to a bigger tool box next year. I am doing my associte degree in automotive technology so I am trying not to spend a lot right now on tools, but I know that isn't going to happen. My new addiction is pawn shops for tools!!

Nice find. I have one like it in the basement.
Here's one I picked up recently to leave with my daughter at her town house to keep the tools I've given her.
I don't know if I'll strip and paint it or leave it.

My Dad had one of those for years and YEARS !
I hated it. You had to take half of the contents out to find anything. It could only hold one set of sockets (1/2" drive, 12 point, standard depth).
Now, I wish I had it.

Free is good! Nice little starter box, and you can use it as a road box or in the house box later when you upgrade.

I was thinking about redoing this one. I need to fix the lock thing in the middle thou!
Free is always good! I love free
I was planning on putting it in my jeep after I get another tool box!Other way around. Dad yelled at me. Mother is in heaven!

Now you just need a good quality set of TORX bits to put in that toolbox since you are a Jeep owner.
Next time I meet a girl with a coach bag, I'll pray she has an old crafsman toolbox on the dinner table, lol.

Are torx bits a good thing to have being a jeep owner?

Oh yeah, I myself have the cheap autozone greatnecks , but evertime I break one I get a whole new set, but the flip side is they do break when you start putting a pipe over the breaker bar.
BTW, the A/C belt can be a PITA to change, just a heads up

Other than a few dings and scratches, it appears to be in decent shape and the price is right.

save your money on a toolbox. get some free old office drawers to use as a toolbox. Having the nicest, most expensive toolbox does not earn you money! Less money to do business= more profit.
I'm speaking from experience here. I spent $380 on a nice toolbox. Should of just gotten something free, I would of had more room too. http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/donlipa/DSC00378.jpg I bought one like that, but it's a relabeled cman. 50% on black friday 2008. Free would of been a million times better.

My 2007 Wrangler unlimited has them everywhere. I will have to go look at sizes but the ones I use the most are to remove the doors. (there is a nut on the bottom of the hinge pin) and there are four screws that I use to take off the brackets that hold the soft top hardware on. (T50 for the door bolts) (T40 for the mirror bolts also the hard top) (T30 for the soft top hardware). If you take the doors off a lot it is a lot easier to leave the bolt off during the time you want to remove the doors. You can replace the soft top screws with quick releases that you won't have to use the torx bit.
My suggestion is get a complete set of torx bits up to T50 and then fill in any larger sizes as you need them. Get the best set you can afford.

Hick, I'm confused...as long as you've been a member, this is your first toolbox? Maybe I missed something.

Seems like until recently she was buying for others mostly, not herself. I'd say this a a recent development. (We infected yet another one; you WILL be assimilated!
This is my very FIRST Craftsman toolbox. I've not had a craftsman one. I own a cheap plastic one.
