So toolbox with cheap tools, or cheap toolbox with high end tools?

Incorrect. Is your box organized? Can you find your tools faster than if they were all pilled together in a wooden box? How about theft? What about moving your tools?

Time is money. Saying your box hasn't made you a dime is like saying your car that gets you to and from work everyday hasn't made you a dime. It may not be directly responsible for your income, but I bet it makes a LARGE difference.

I can't say I agree with this, I can organize my tools just as well in a HF box or home made wooden box vs a truck brand box. Just the same I could be just as disorganized in a truck box. That's all on the person them self. A tool box by no means makes me faster, being proficient in my job and having the right tools for the job does. The speed or smoothness in-which a drawer opens to get to that tool plays little to nothing into making money for me.

Is a shiny box nice to have? yes But I see it more as a status symbol then anything else. Arguing speed is just an excuse to justify the price. If I were to buy a Corvette to get to/from work, sure it's fast but in reality you get there just as fast as you would in your Corolla. The Corvette is sure nice and has cool features and a nice price tag.

I'd rather have the right tool first rather then the fancy box. Would a fancy box come down the road? maybe, but only because my tools and know how got me there.
