old craftsman small box(carry around)

[Deafautotech]

i am going to grab this as seller want for 20 dollars as on craigslist..

i had one exact like this but i was stupid to sold it to my friend.... it was my box that i use for automotive classes in communcity college for three years.. it is good memory for me.. i should keep it! but now i want one back so i can have better tools in drawers than in one box that is mess inside...

i had use a plastic toolbox in vehicle where i am drive to had overload and broke the handle... so it is time for me to get metal to hold up better...


the seller said it has small dent on top lid but i can get it back to normal as easy tap on under of lid but it will be my transportion box as i must have it with me anywhere.... unless i am going on airplane then that is other story....

Nice find.

The 4 dwr boxes are a harder find since the 3 dwrs are what sold the most it seems.

thanks... i dont care if it is heavy to carry but it is better than plastic case because i have to digging around to find a wrench while four drawers are make much easier for me to know which drawer to use a type of tools on it...

i've got one of those boxes laying around somewhere,
only thing i did not like was the depth of only about 10" or so.

makes it a little top heavy, and prone to falling over in a truck.

i have that exact box sliding around the trunk of my car. i bought it new 3-4 years ago. biggest pos i've seen. the slides get snagged and the drawers hang up if you don't pull the drawer out or close it completely straight.

tractor supply has a 3 drawer version that's identical to craftsmans 3 drawer, but the tractor supply version has ball bearing slides. i'd like to get one of those.

edit:
they have a 4 drawer version, too. only $50!!!!

i dont care how depth it is.. i had one that i had been abuse and carry around a lot when i was in college.. it was work good... i am plan to have all very common sockets on top lid... that what i did in past at college...

ball bearing slides are nice but it will narrow down the wide of drawers... so i prefer a friction slides because it can be fix or bend it back while break ball bearing will need be replacement...

HELL it is only 20 dollars!!! it is better than 60 to 100 dollars!! i already has few plans for it if i decide to put it in my large shed to do small engine works...
