Welcome.

Doesn't seem too bad if you can use it.

Well I've been wanting a cart as i don't really even have a real tool chest at the moment. also, i was looking at a craftsman unit for 219.00 new and i figured blue point would be better than craftsman.

well it is not really better than craftsman as that carts can look similar but only different is a brand name...

eh, i don't really need to spend the money right now anyway. I'll wait and buy a new Craftsman later or an actual Snap-On.

I have the exact same cart, I like my 80.00 harbor freight better

what kind you really need to have? bottom box or cart?

 

[luv2xlr8]

I would like to get a bottom box and a cart, but I'm pretty sure I'm getting a bottom box and a top chest for my birthday in a couple months. I'm also trying to save up for an air compressor so I think my money will go towards the air compressor; I'm doing just fine with my bag of tools right now.

I have the same cart, i'm not really a huge fan it's not big enough for popular tool storage but to big to comfortable tote around to cars while working.

 

[Deafautotech]

my suggest you to get bottom box as if you can get wide enough to make room unless you dont have a space then go for top and bottom box...

is you consider as Do It Yourself or consider to do mechanic job?

 

[luv2xlr8]

it'd be for home use if that's what you mean

all right.. i would suggest you as make a decide which size box you want 26in 40in or 52in??

i have multiple boxes at my home garage that i had since young age.. but at my work(Ford dealership) i have giant snap on 72in top and bottom boxes(KRL1203 and KRL1003), Matco tool cart MSC12 that i use a lot, finally i have older model of craftsman 40in bottom full wide drawers box.. i had more boxes than any techs at my work but i am still working and use all tools what i need to do complete the repairs...

i don't think i could afford 40 in snap on boxes lol. but Ive been watching craigslist with vigilante eyes

hey, you DONT have to buy a snap on box for home UNLESS you want to. where are you live as just say city/state because i like the Menards that sell masterforce box as either 36 or 41 wide bottom box for good price even better than modern craftsman boxes...

id like to get one for my house but that's a ways down the road from right now, ill most likely go with us general from harbor freight or craftsman

 

[Bran Diezel]
