I also see they have Slate Gray which matches my boxes. . . just when I thought I was satisfied, the slight bit of OCD kicks in. . .

Make sure your neighbors are outside then push one of these over to your truck in the driveway. Remove and clean your valve caps. Say "Ahhhhh!" loudly. Wheel it back. Beer time!You guys seen the mini roll cart mod for these yet?

I’m going to print one for one of my mini tool boxes, but have been printing holiday stuff and then mounts for my tractor and haven’t gotten to it yet.

I see what's going on here. You guys are trying to force me to buy a 3D printer.
OP
Slate Gray, 30% off sale for ITC & slight bit of color coordination....OCD a wee bit maybe.

red HF box received damaged as a secret Santa gift. brought to the store and swapped out by the manager for a green one. so far so good, holding punches and odds and ends for tinkering. still unsure of its purpose yet.
I've got a teal snap-on bottom box, it does a pretty good job holding a selection of 1/4" ratchets, sockets, and accessories. I'll agree with the consensus that the 'rails' ****, and overall it was a terrible value purchase. I am a sucker for the paintjob though
GearWrench 1/4 pass thru set in the top drawer
Challenger Proto 6pt metric shallow and deep sockets, with extensions
SK round head ratchet, Wera bit ratchet, assorted sockets
Anex straight and bent low profile bit ratchets, Par-X ratchet, and some 4mm bit driver handles and parts
More assortment, SK torx bit set, Par-X and Tekton driver handles, GearWrench gyro ratchet

Finally bought what I'm pretty sure was the last OD Green one at Sam's Club in the Christmas leftovers (most were white or pink).
Hoping Lowe's has some of the highlighter pink ones left over.
I started on Gridfinity, and I think this is gonna be my second to get trays in each drawer (alongside my Kobalt top mini toolbox). I haven't done my US General yet due to it having drawer liners that I don't want to mess up.
This is the most bins I've got in any yet.

What kind of details??

Box looks to possibly be a Snap on KRA65 (A, B or C) if that is the detail your looking for.
When I saw these on Vevor I knew I had to have them. Also had to have the tiny SnapOn badges I saw on Ebay to replace the Vevor badges. Crappy boxes but they match my 1988 SnapOn's. Throw in the SnapOn promo tape measure since it matches too.
Wow those are straight up the same as the snap-on boxes, with the logo swapped. Good to know I can get a pair of vevors for ~$65, when ebay sellers want $150 each for top and bottom stack.

I have extra tiny SnapOn emblems if you need them. The Ebay guy sold them as a 6 pack.
Kind of interesting, but those clasps are super underwhelming. Upgrade to something like the small Klein modbox containers have.Tekton just announced they released a stacking mini toolbox system.

Those are what I'd call "just save some time and throw everything on the floor" latches. 'Cause that's where it's ending up sooner or later, anyway.
Haha, it does remind me of the old pencil cases we had at elementary school, which suffered a similar fate.

These appear to be the standard Sortimo L-Boxx mini. Useful little things.

The top shelf of Lowes/US General type mini boxes are just right to house Vernier calipers.

Anyone seen or built one of these USG mini toolbox boom boxes? Not going to lie... they are pretty slick! I think I am going to build one for my father in law for his birthday!

I just saw something on FB. There is a company that 3d prints a kit to turn a mini-toolbox into a mini tool cart:
https://miniboxmods.com/
They seem to be out of stock but I just thought that they are a cute accessory to a cute toolbox.
I have a White Kobalt mini on my dresser holding personal items so I'm not hating on the boxes in general.
Cheers

Anything like these mini Matco available now?
- Bit bigger than the common mini types - this is 12x8x10" WxDxH, up to 18" would be fine
- Just drawers

I still say there is a market for this old Craftsman design.
Anybody at HF following this site?
You and everyone on Craigslist paying hundreds of dollars for these. These are one of the "golden geese" of vintage Craftsman storage collecting.
And mine isn’t even the really cool, IMO, gray with red drawers.
Did they make the little side cabs in gray and red?
I believe so. I’ll bet there are at least a few on this site
OP
I think the same thing, they never last and go for good money.I still say there is a market for this old Craftsman design.

As far as HF following along, yeah, thought that same damn thing too.
I wanted to find one years ago when I started at the FD. I was going to mount one in my bunkergear locker. However, I never found one for a decent price.
