Should I buy this box??????? (PROTO)

[Bouchard93]

Ok ,so this morning I was browsing my local pawn shops. I came across this vintage proto top tool chest, with a assortment of odds and ends, and prolly 10 proto wrenches. They were asking 75$ ,I got them down to 60$ cash out the door. (but I didnt have any cash on me told them I would come back) Is this worth it? This is not the box ,but one I found on google just like it.There in about the same condition. Just some light surface rust on the bottom right corner. So what do u guys think, should I jump this deal or ???

If I get it I would restore it back red and polish the handles.

here what it looks like.

I would if I needed it. I have a matco with the same drawer layout. Only thing I don't like is that deep middle drawer.

For $60 with tools I think it is a good deal.... If you need it.


Good job on offering a lower price without cash in hand.

Girl in your avatar needs a place to put those wrenches...

buy it now !

it's will probably outlast the box you have now...

60 seems like a decent deal especially if it has a bunch of proto tools inside.

If you don't buy it for $60 you need to hand in your mancard. I can't believe you even had to ask.

Buy it.

Buy it.......that's a Waterloo built box. It's built like a tank. I had one just like I bought in '71 new and it took everything I could throw at it for 15 years.. The only reason I got rid of it was because I traded up to bigger box.

 

[G-Ram]

Buy it!

 

[celticbhoy]

Proto wrenches alone are probably worth 60 bucks!

 

[Modifieddriver]

Buy it before I do.

Can't go wrong spending $60 on that deal . . . . what I saw of it . . . . still keep sneaking a peak of your avatar !!

She know how to use those wrenches??

 

[Outlawmws]

I'd buy that for $60, and I'm not fond of top boxes...

If she knew how to use those wrenches they'd be in the box or on a nut rather than teasing and covering those.....boobies

I have that box. It's a good deal at $60 and it's a great box. You'll be glad you bought it.

The Proto box is a higher quality box than your Craftsman. How much did you pay for it??

My dad gave me his proto box, pretty much the same as this one( it has 9 draws on the top instead of 7) and it is great box cost him over $1000au when he bought it new so $60 it a total bargain, go for it you won't regret it

$60 is plenty fair. I wouldnt think twice.
