Red, as I don't care at all for black on tool boxes. Blue would be my first choice if I had a choice of any color.

what about the difference between the drawer size and drawer set-up.. thats my main prob.. i can always repaint the toolbox

Red, i have a black box and its a biatch to keep clean, shows finger marks finger nail marks and oil marks. Grrr.

I like the dual wide drawers on the black box. One drawer for your sockets, the other for your wrenches.

 

[mauris69]

The black one b/c of the 2 large drawers, you always need the space for larger tools.

The bottom drawers in both boxes are similar so that's a tie. And you already like the look of black....

just my 2 cents....

I prefer the drawer setup of the black toolbox.

I like the drawer layout of the black one myself.

 

[thegroundpounder99]

I also like the drawer layout of the black one.

 

[kctyphoon]

just looking at the pictures - id say the black gives a nice full lenght top drawer thats good for wrenches, and a second for sockets.. i like the red color better, but the black layout better.

 

[colin39]

Gotta be honest i like the draw layout of the black one , that dual long draw, one spanners and one sockets. But could i have it in red?

 

[Richard Cranium]

Another vote for the black one, because of the drawer layout...Rich

 

[stage20]

Oh yea wide drawers are king. Black drawer layout for sure

 

[dudutzu905]

what they said - the black one

 

[lowbucktruck]

Ditto on the black roller chest, the two top drawers would be very handy. Maybe that roller box is available in red?

 

[bobemmerich]

Gotta go with the black. I like the double long top drawer

 

[the1nonlyjl]

both the same...only slight difference is that red has break up divided drawer below the lengthy one. doesnt really matter much... for big long wrenches... use top drawer... the rest of below drawers do whatever you have to do.

 

[MikeF2316]

Wow, everybody wants the 2 wide drawers. Me too!

So the question is, would 3 wide drawer be better still?

 

[Jeffrey.g]

I love the black one for the 2 large drawers but the second drawer is only 9cm deep and hazet deep sockets are 8.5cm. I have 0.5cm left and i also need a sockey tray + 8.5 cm deep socket dont know if it will fit.. and the red one is 9.5cm deep.. aarrghhh..

 

[Ridwaan Gallow]

I would go for black even if the red one was cheaper.. more drawers? Could only mean more tools..

 

[PT Doc]

black. because of drawer layout not color.

Well that depends on what type of socket holder you get, but .05 cm should work. Besides, how many sockets are 8.5 cm tall? even if they don't fit with the tray, it won't be that many?........ decisions!! (I feel you there)
I guess is time to go shopping for socket trays with a ruler in hand...
