Nice looking box, I didn't know the brand unit bodger called it out.

 

[JonnyMac]

Sold in australia as White International.. i had one for a few years and was very impressed with it...

Sounds like she's a keeper. Merry Christmas to you and her. I hope you exchanged something equally to her liking.

 

[padroo]

I agree, she is a keeper. My wife says I need another tool box but who am I to argue.
I will even let her pick it out as long as it is big enough.

Boy that's a nice gift! Merry Christmas to you!

The Snap-On box was $50 and the bigger Waterloo was $40. The 27 drawer unit was $20. I have seven of the Simplicity sewing pattern cases. They are a well made as any toolbox and cost about $40-$50. I paid $100 for a five drawer Simplicity. The drawer slides are roller bearings. The last Simplicity I bought has the safety feature of one drawer open at a time feature.
I got the blue ATLAS cabinet as part of a deal for a Snap-On shop cart. the grey steel 7 drawer cabinets were original for double rows of information cards. These two cabinets are very well built and also have roller slides. I paid too much at $175 each.

I needed a little post Christmas therapy after the extended family left. fo I went to Craigslist for help, just a little feel good, nothing that needs a following prescription. There it was, just what I needed. The drive in the blinding snow and the unplowed side streets added to the moment. $10 for the DURHAM box and $4 for Diesel fuel and I feel better. I will add this to the others.

Did I just witness a full blown thread hi-jack?

 

[carcajou]

klassen those are a good looking set. Very little use by the previous owner for sure.

Manwithtools Yep he just jumped in with both feet.

Nice box but it should not be in front of the electrical panel.

 

[manwithtools]

Why not in front of electrical panel? It's tool box that's on casters, out of the way in seconds if access is needed. I know there are restrictions by code on obstructing access to an electrical panel, but hen there is real life too.

This is kind of like saying you can't park a car in in the garage because it prevents access to the panel Probably faster to move a tool box than a car.

This is not a permanent obstruction and there is zero danger of exposure to live circuits unless you are working on the panel - which would logically cause you to move the toolbox.

Nice shape for a vintage box.No doubt she got a good deal on quality pieces

 

[RC KID]

I bought this tool box for $25.00. It was strait but all scratched up. I had it powder coated and found some new handles for it. Looks great now. I use it for the vintage tools I bought but never use. LOL
