New toolbox to replace damaged Ebay box

[48548]

After fighting and wining with paypal, and yes I had to pay to send the damaged box back to the seller. See link below if you care, here is what I got from strictlytoolboxes.com, and Shannon is one great stand up guy, he through in some free vise grips and a flash light+gloves(for GJ members and he is just as easy as mike from toptul to deal with)... And here is how it looks it is an LA400, 30X19. Also note, I talked to paypal and was a little nasty about the shipping of the damaged box back, and they gave me 50 for the trouble and after a new box to ship the bad unit back (I ruined the old one and didn't want to risk it) and shipping, I was only out about 27$ and I am happy which is priceless(also note, the box was USA made and not canada like the kra I was getting, lets hear it for keeping jobs in our own contry and a lifetime warranty on the box)!!!! Let me know what you think, still need to organize the tools, but it is a start. the other pics show some of the drawers I cleaned out some, and the last drawer has my 1" ratchet big ratchet adapters and about 30 ratchet kits for proto/plomb stuff. Also snapon logo for new box was free compliments of dear old dad, and it was in mint condition.

That box is stacked! I just got my crossover and I filled it up with a single set from Craftsman. I really like that style box a lot! I have to thanks GJ for turning me on to it! You are correct Shannon from StrictlyToolboxes.com is the man. Very helpful and a good guy to deal with!

The paint on that box looks like it has some kind of texture to it, almost like a hammertone finish; not that it matters, I'm just curious to know how they did it.

48548, that is one very nice box. i can't beleive more people don't have them. would you and hefneil like to start a montezuma group? it would be interesting to see how many montezuma owners are on gj. best of luck with your new purchase.

The paint isn't smooth. It is almost textured. I cheaped out and bought a bottom box from Sears. A Craftsmans only because the shipping on the Montezuma was going to be SO expensive. The paint doesn't match but I don't care. I am going to snap some pics of the box "semi" full and I will post them here!

Thank you SK Farmer, you made me look at them as I liked your box, also with Strictlytoolboxes, shipping is included which did help and the shipping was on a pallet and the truck had a liftgate and pallet jack. Con-way did the shipping and I would recommend them also.
