New montezuma box

[hischj]

Just went to strictly tool boxes and saw this bad boy.

I have no idea why, but the all black look I love. Wonder if they will make a version of this in the 72" elite. One could only hope.

 

[Cryptic1911]

oh man that looks so nice!

 

[gc11090]

Wow, thats sick!

 

[mooman]

What does this cost.

 

[justinmc]

What is that bull bars on the sides? Do we need brush guards on our toolboxes now?? haha..

PS.. the matte black is kinda nice looking. With chrome trim I bet it'd be slick.

 

[RbrtAWhyt]

Cool look box. Thats a close second to the orange one...

 

[DARKSCOPE001]

that bad boy will run you right around 2500 shipped I want one. im on the quest for my perminant toolbox right now. I like this one because it pretty much has all that I want. it looks like it can withstand a s#it storm and still protect its self and its contents. and as far as i can tell all 4 wheels castor making it great for those complicated manuvers and getting into tight spots ++++ in my mind. also idk why but i love spring loaded castors. idk if they are dampend or not but still it takes the shock off the toolbox while rolling it around the shop/hangar/garage I have to have on of these.

$2125 shipped to your door.

Definetely a **** looking box but its hard to pay that when Shannon has a 72"er for $1700 and change just below it.

 

[arkangel06]

Woah thats nice... If only it was US made!

 

[RbrtAWhyt]

I'm diggin' the bumpers. Those should help keep the box ding free...

 

[kmorgancraw]

Only 20 inches deep? FAIL

 

[hischj]

its 26" deep

Looks nice, but that's a black & white photo. Flat black would look awesome though.

Considering its called the "blackout" box, I'm pretty sure what you see is the actual color.

The diamond plate on top is a NO-GO for me. I want a smooth surface to write, and work on. I do like the black out look though. I saw a blacked out Matco version on a truck last year, and it was very sinister looking.

Yea, the diamond plate on the top would end up being a pain in the rear I'd say..

Agreed, trying to write on / clean that top of grit and grime would get old fast with the diamond plate pattern in there.

Spring loaded casters make going over bumps or lips in a floor a breeze. When I roll a box with spring casters on my liftgate, you hardly notice the lip. Non spring casters and you have to push hard to get them over the lip.

 

[RbrtAWhyt]

its 26" deep

There seems to be confliciting info. Next to the photo it lists this:

Weight: 634lbs
Warranty: 5 Year
Drawer Slide Type: Roller Bearing
Paint Type: Powder Coated

But in the deminsions area it lists this:

One of them is wrong. Hard for a 20" deep box to have 22.25" deep drawers...

This is extremly tempting at this price.

I thought some of the montezuma boxes were made in the USA? I thougth the cross overs were? Am I wrong.....

 

[RbrtAWhyt]

In this color, it sure is...

i believe most slant front boxes are but at least some are imported. sadly i think the latest crossovers are imported. if you see a crossover with a dimple or in dished in area were the the lift handle is it is imported. if the handle is bolted over a flat surface it is domestic or us made. this came from a very reputable source. i know mine is us made and i believe yours to be but the latest ones may not be.

 

[48548]

Mine is flat with the handle bolted on.... I was hoping all of the boxes they made where US made.

 

[sk farmer]

that is us made. the imported slant front are a recent development. they are not all imported and don't know specifics on how many but i know that the handle is the easiest way to tell.

 

[Merkava_4]

I hate the diamond plate and I hate the guard bars.

I guess you could call that a negative comment....

 

[Strouty]

Looks nice, but that's a black & white photo. Flat black would look awesome though.

You sir must be color blind, that is not a black and white photo.

 

[DanCo]

-Sir that's what I see on my blackberry

 

[fordbroncodave]

The Canadian Tire version is a import, exactly as sk farmer described.

Whoa! What!? What a way to piss in a guy's cheerios! I am planning on getting one of those boxes at some point, guess I will have to call ahead and verify the COO first .

Oh Ya. I want one of these now. Price is pretty hard to beat. You cant touch any box in that size for the price.

if a am correct those venders that specify a us made box receive the us made box. those that do not recieve the import. from what i have seen the import box is as well or better made with more fearures for the same or similar price. not condoning it, just stating the facts.
