Swapping a Matco box for Montezuma?

[ZenMoto]

Hey guys,
Just looking for a quick sanity check. I have a very, very nice Matco service cart (MSC12) with the optional extra drawers, making it a 6 drawer roller. The problem is, I don't use the split top as a work area, and rarely ever use the top bay for anything useful (I think it has a 20', unused air-hose in it right now)

So I 'm thinking of selling it to fund something like the Montezuma 36" stack, which might be much more practical for my use / organizational skills!

My local Sears is actually carrying these now (the guy said they are a "test store" for them), and I'm tempted.

...have you guys got any thoughts about that box? ...is it worth sacrificing the Matco?

Iwould depending on how much the matco sells for

I just came from sears, they had montezumas, first time I've seen them. I am by no means an expert in toolboxes, but I didn't think it was all that nice. I didn't spend more than a few seconds at it. fwiw

I like the layout of the Montezuma.

If I could sell my Matco setup for a decent price I would buy a Montezuma set up and keep the change in my pocket.

You are comparing apples to organes. If you had a 6s triple bank and was asking to trade for a montezume that was two inches deeper, that would be stupid, but for cart for a top bottom combo, there is nothing wrong with that.

The Sears Monty stuff is pretty poor quality. Order from stb.com and you'll be happy.

If you don't use the top well of the cart - just park a Motezuma top chest (or any top chest) on it.

Are you stating that Montezuma created a separate line, to be sold at Sears?

Is there something I'm missing? Comparing a few models from Sears and StrictlyToolBoxes, they're using the same gauge steel, model numbers, and even the total weights are the same...

Or are you just a big fan of STB?
