If you have a smart phone. There is an app for Canadian Tire. Closest location, gas bar, hours phone number etc. The best feature is anything you are waiting to go sale. List it in the app. You will see it when it's on sale.

Anybody getting one of the MC MX boxes?

My father ordered a set of the 47" Euro-style boxes, he'd been shopping for a bigger box for a while and couldn't say no at that price. They had to order in the roller as they only had the top chest in stock, so he'll have to wait a while before he can pick it up.

Nice!
Congrats to your dad!

 

[CatSplat]

Yeah he's really looking forward to it. The guy was fine with a ~30" box for like 25 years, but as soon as I got myself a 46" roller he decided he needed to upgrade, haha.

They are really nice boxes, I sure like the built in work table on the top box...

Best bang for buck imo, specially over 50% off retail...

Damn I love the look of the new blue box! Thanks for posting!

 

[gaffobohs]

Also a nice looking tool cart, quite expensive though!

Yeah exactly what I thought when I saw it! Be interesting to see what it goes on sale for!

At some point,probably 50% off ($300) and I would be more willing to pay $300 for the Maximum than $170 for the HF for a few reasons.

1.The Maximum has a 5 year warranty (like the rest of the Maximum tool box/tool storage line up) vs the HF only has a 90 day warranty (like the rest of the HF tool box/tool storage line up)

2.The Maximum is black vs the HF red.

3.The Maximum has nicer wheels.

4.The MAXIMUM name boldly representing itself.

5.The Maximum is a Mastercraft product,so it is automatically better then the HF just cause
Lol

 

[LOOSEWHEEL]

Wonder what the depth is on those 57's. Looks like 18" unfortunately.

For the price of it on sale, i'll agree.

 

[Hey_Pontiac]

Damn i dont like the new 57'' ... Like so much the ''old'' model i paid 550+ taxes last week.

Really? To each his own.
I think they both look good.
I'm liking the recessed out blocky stainless steel corners on the new 57"

 

[ADSR]

I couldn't use any of the boxes. 18" deep is unusable. My homak is 20" and it's time for a upgrade to a lista box at a depth of 28 1/2

For a home use, 18'' deep is perfect for me.

lol some homes are different.

 

[heytrid]

18" was fine for me before I had 24", now that I am used to 24" I want deeper again haha.

Was at Darthmouth Crossing CT this weekend to check/see the new 'Maximum' boxes.
They had all the new 'Maximum' boxes in.Love Dartmouth Crossing CT,it's the biggest CT store in Canada I believe.The store is huge.

Here's the new 57" black 'Maximum' box


Here's the new 47" blue 'Maximum' box


They also had the new 41" all flat black 'Maximum' box and the new 56" solo bottom stainless steel 'Maximum' box but I didn't get pics of them as I figured the new 57" black 'Maximum' box and the new 47" blue 'Maximum' box were the real eye candy boxes.You can see a bit of the new 41" all flat black 'Maximum' box in the left of the new 47" blue 'Maximum' box pic.

I was in my local one in Airdrie, Alberta and snapped a couple of pics of the tool cart....

Looks good.Dartmouth Crossing CT didn't have the new 'Maximum' tool cart unfortunately.

On a side note/don't mean to get off topic but,I lived in Alberta (Airdrie) a few years back for a little over 1 year.

Yeah I'm Nova Scotian born and raised,but I moved to Alberta when I was 21 (for the work/oil boom ofcourse).Did the Alberta thing for a bit then made my way back to Nova Scotia.
Airdrie's a nice place.

That's the one

New Maximum cantilever style toolbox is pretty neat too. These are a decent crop of new decent quality yet cheap toolboxes. Good to see!

However, it's about time they made a side box that can attach.

 

[Bunit98]

Are these screwdrivers new? The handle looks different but I also haven't been in canadian tire for a few weeks sorry if it's been discussed

They're new. Not sure if they're worth the non sale price, but for 20 bucks, I don't think you could go wrong.

 

[Bunit98]

Thanks lorddiesel I'll have to go check them out this week
