Thin guage steel, 9 drawers that dont fit half of my tools, friction slides.

When I saw it, I wanted to cry. :sad:

That is your excuse. The box is too small and with your limited foot print you would like something larger instead of buying a second matching box in order to house all of your tools.

Take a plasma cutter to it and then tell her you accidentally broke it and need a bigger/beefier toolbox. :shocking:

Find something to use it for. She meant well and she's you mother. Now, go out and buy the one you wanted.

I had a roll around like that at first, now I welded up a little frame for it and turned into a very nice welding cart.

you will find a use for it and as your garage tools grow, will laugh about this one and use it a lot for something.

My wife bought me a two piece Craftsman set similiar to that right after we got married. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it was more than I had. Plus she was trying to do something nice for me so I wouldn't have even considered giving it away. I filled it with tools then just added more cabinets later.

Always be appreciative when someone gives you a gift, especially when it's your mom. Use it, make her feel good and add another cabinet when you can.

similar box

I have one like that, I keep what I call "Implements of Distruction" in it :lol_hitti

Also welding supplies, grinding disc, etc... stuff that'll bang up a good box and eventually distroy a cheap box. Notice the crow bar hanging on the side. I did lay carpet in the draws so I can drop stuff in without worry, the drawers are so thin they dent real easy.

I keep the good stuff in the Craftsman.

Excuse the mess, re-arranging at the moment.

I hear all the time that BB is so much better. Personally I don't mind the friction slides on my Snap on box. I would almost go as far as to say I liked them better.

On topic: If it makes you feel better, my mom got me a bird feeder and a bird watching book. :wtf: I don't watch birds.

I haven't lived with my parents in 16 years but they know the rules. You don't have to buy me a gift but if you do it should say Craftsman on it some where. :thumbup:
